Apple and OpenAI are escalating their legal fight over allegations that the ChatGPT maker used Apple employees to obtain closely guarded hardware secrets. Why it matters: If the case makes it to the discovery process, two of the most secretive companies in tech could be forced to reveal sensitive information about how they recruit talent, develop hardware and protect confidential information. Driving the news: On Monday, OpenAI responded to Apple's preliminary injunction request that asked a judge to block OpenAI from using any potential confidential information or trade secrets while the lawsuit remains in motion. - In its response, OpenAI said: "This dispute is a mess of Apple's own making, and it is trying to blame everyone else." -…

The CCP is waging an all-out economic and technological war via espionage, elite capture, and industrial theft. This is an existential threat to U.S. sovereignty and liberty. The response must be overwhelming in strength, vigilance, and America First resolve, building on President Trump’s first-term successes while exposing and defunding CCP-aligned dark money networks. These networks run through billionaires like Neville Roy Singham and organizations such as The People’s Forum, which has received over $20 million from him and is now under Congressional scrutiny for promoting CCP interests on U.S. soil. During President Donald J. Trump’s first term, the FBI and Department of Justice dramatically ramped up efforts to counter Chinese…Open

Driving the news: Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, sent a memo Thursday to federal agency heads accusing mostly China-based actors of using proxy accounts to evade detection and jailbreak models to "expose proprietary information" and "extract capabilities from American AI models." - Distillation attacks involve querying proprietary models, like…

Coyle joined Chris Cuomo live from a plane bringing him back to America, along with Boehler, in his first U.S. interview since the release.
