🤖 OpenAI hired Apple engineers as spies

OpenAI recruited former Apple employees and asked them for secret Apple data. One ex-iPhone engineer was caught after refusing to return his work laptop, which he used to download confidential Apple files while at OpenAI.

He boasted to former colleagues about retained access and made guides on copying files undetected. This may have been led by Tang Tan, OpenAI's hardware chief and former lead iPhone developer who recruited Apple staff for design documents.
