Apple has a trademark for ‘Apple’ in computers
I did have that qualifier there for very good reason ;) Those grannies can make apple pie all day, but as soon as they try to sell a phone called Granny’s Apple Pie Phone they will get sued.
All that said, I don’t have skin in the game. I don’t particularly like ‘devils advocate’-ing for OpenAI or Apple here lol so I’ll stop. I’m not really in favor of IP law in general, but I imagine trademarks can protect open source ventures to prevent hijacking by a corporation, but that’s about the best use-case I can see for IP law
OpenAI has shareholders and a board of directors. Of course they will go after people. Shareholders and the directors want profit and they want it now. Little Mark’s GPT app is a threat to those directors’ dollars, unfortunately. Directors don’t care because they don’t have a soul, they gave OpenAI access to the best legal council money can buy. Sam Altman will utilize it to make those directors and the rest of the shareholders happy. He wants to keep his job because he’s an egomaniac who thinks running an AI company is godhood, when he’s actually just an employee of the wealthiest people alive and if keeps doing whatever they want him to do with no questions asked, he gets into the kid-diddling club with exclusive rights to rape children
Kamala losing is like part 250 of a 250 part shitshow that started with Reagan and that is why we’re here. You’re just conscious enough to be around for this latest bit and aren’t taught the previous ones in school, makes ya think?
