Oh dear, did someone steal something from Apple?

Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the ChatGPT maker of recruiting Apple engineers and stealing trade secrets to advance its hardware business. However, Apple itself has faced similar accusations multiple times, including a 2020 case from medical device maker Masimo that resulted in a $634 million judgment against Apple for patent infringement. The pattern reflects a recurring Silicon Valley tension between companies' right to hire talented employees and concerns about the confidential knowledge those employees bring with them.
