OpenAI accuses employee who left for Apple of leaking plans for unreleased device
Apple has said it has policies and procedures to ensure new employees do not use confidential information from previous employers. Apple has said it has policies and procedures to ensure new employees do not use confidential information from previous employers. An OpenAI employee who left the ChatGPT maker for Apple sent more than 100 files about an unreleased product to a personal account and later made a presentation about the unreleased product to senior Apple leadership, a new filing in the lawsuit between OpenAI and Apple alleges. In the filing in US federal court in San Jose, California, OpenAI alleged that the presentation happened months ago and that Apple is now making AI products of its own, citing the release of Apple's HomeView product this week. "OpenAI is very concerned that its trade secret and confidential information is now circulating inside Apple, where Apple engineers can shape Apple's upcoming products based on OpenAI's confidential and innovative work," OpenAI said in its filing.
A New Anti-Aging Drug Looks to Turn Back the Clock on Skin Age
After four weeks of using the cream, participants lowered the biological age of their skin by about two years on average. A wave of biotech companies is looking to prove that it's possible to slow down the aging process. Mountain View, California-based Rubedo Life Sciences is starting with the most outwardly visible sign: the skin. The company's experimental treatment is showing early promise that it may be able to reduce the appearance of aging, according to data the company presented at the Aging Research and Drug Discovery meeting in Boston earlier this month. In a small clinical trial, Rubedo tested its topical cream on 11 people with atopic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin condition and the most common type of eczema.

Australia seeks big tech support for internet safety, AI regulation
The Australian government is seeking support from global tech giants as it works to strengthen the country's online safety laws and artificial intelligence (AI) regulations. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who met Apple CEO Tim Cook at the tech company's headquarters in Cupertino, California, on Saturday, said that "Australia can't do it alone" when it came to protecting children from the dangers of the internet. "We're putting stronger rules in place to keep Australians safe online," he said. "And now, big tech companies like Apple are stepping up too." Albanese, who is also in the United States for the United Nations General Assembly, used his trip to call for stronger AI regulation after dire safety warnings from industry leaders.
People Are Pissed Off and Ready to Own Their Shit
A grassroots live tour by YouTuber Louis Rossmann highlights growing resistance to companies that keep people from controlling their devices. The train blasts through right as Louis Rossmann starts to speak. This has happened several times already at the event he's hosting on a Friday night in San Jose, California. All the speakers before him patiently paused when the train on the nearby tracks roared by, its loud horn blaring, then resumed talking. But Rossmann is mid-sentence in his rapid-fire delivery about the topic he's fiercely passionate about, and he doesn't stop. He shouts over the train.

A Stealth Startup Thinks It Just Hacked the Memory Shortage
Kepler Computing claims a new approach to chip design--and a proprietary material--can help end the supply bottlenecks that have sent memory prices surging. An ambitious chip startup that has spent more than seven years quietly trying to redesign the architecture for computer memory has just come out of stealth mode and believes its new approach can help ease the global memory-chip shortage --provided it can produce its technology at scale. Kepler Computing, a San Jose, California-based startup founded in 2018 by a team of physicists and computer scientists, says it has developed a new architecture for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that directly addresses some of the chip supply bottlenecks that are constraining the computing market. While chipmakers typically rely on expensive extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) to shrink the transistors on a chip, thereby packing more technology into the same amount of space, Kepler claims that its "3D stacking" approach and a proprietary new material allow it to increase density without relying on EUV at all--and it can work with existing semiconductor fabrication plants. Kepler says it has made similar gains for the high-speed cache memory typically used in CPUs, GPUs, and XPUs.
Anthropic automatically signs out Claude users to protect them from hackers
Stolen Claude logins have serious resale value at scale. Adam Meyers, senior vice president of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike, told Axios in August that a trade has grown up around hijacked AI accounts, with criminals trafficking credentials for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. Meanwhile, findings by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 have traced hijacked accounts to proxy services known as transfer stations. These pool stolen credentials and resell access to AI services at a much lower cost than retail. Anthropic doesn't publish exact figures for its Claude usage limits, but every prompt has a compute cost, which the company absorbs when a stolen session is doing the prompting.
John Ternus succeeds Tim Cook as Apple CEO after 15 years
John Ternus has officially taken over as the chief executive officer of Apple, succeeding Tim Cook, who ended a 15-year tenure leading the tech giant. Ternus, who took the helm on Tuesday, had been serving as the senior vice president for hardware engineering at the Cupertino, California-based company since 2021. Ternus is an old hand at the company. He joined Apple's product design team in 2001 and climbed the ranks. He was appointed vice president of hardware engineering in 2013 and was promoted in 2021 to the senior vice president role that he has now moved up from.
