description: "$Apple(AAPL.US) Apple has filed a lawsuit against two former employees and OpenAI for trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract. The complaint alleges that the former employees exploited confidential information to benefit OpenAI’s hardware ambitions, including accessing Apple’s systems and using proprietary information to recruit workers. Apple seeks to halt the misuse of its trade secrets and recover damages, claiming OpenAI's hardware operations rely on stolen information. Reports suggest that OpenAI instructed former Apple employees to bring trade secrets to interviews to secure job positions. If true, this would not be the first time OpenAI is facing backlash for unethical operations. @Captain's Treasure"
