hello
Apple just sued OpenAI, and the wildest part is how they got caught: one candidate screenshotted confidential Apple files on his Apple work laptop hours before his OpenAI interview. Apple reads its own server logs. The recruiting pipeline generated its own evidence trail.
The complaint says OpenAI's hardware chief Tang Tan, a 24-year Apple veteran, directed candidates still employed at Apple to bring "actual parts" (batteries, logic boards) to interviews for show and tell sessions. One candidate was surprised, saying he didn't even know you could take those out of the office.
Apple also alleges Tan circulated an internal Apple offboarding document to coach new hires on dodging exit security checks, and that a departing engineer kept his Apple laptop, found a bug that still gave him access to Apple's cloud storage, and downloaded dozens of confidential hardware files after joining OpenAI.
Then the supplier: OpenAI allegedly got one of Apple's manufacturing partners to demonstrate a proprietary metal finishing technique by letting the partner believe Apple had approved it.
Over 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. Apple says it flagged all of this to OpenAI in February and never got a response. Five months later, it filed.
The ask reveals the strategy. Apple wants an injunction barring OpenAI from using the secrets, the return of every file, and full discovery into io, right as OpenAI preps its first device launch and an IPO. If a judge grants it, OpenAI may have to prove the device was built clean, component by component, before it ships.
The device was supposed to run on the world's best hardware talent. Now its bill of materials is evidence.
20 years of faithfulness!
Today I celebrate and congratulate my honey on 20 years of marriage. Today we celebrate 20 years of being happily naked and unashamed before each other.
Here are some of the things that have helped us grow to this point: faithfulness, great conversations, generosity, great sex and God.
God: All through, it’s been God. Looking at the way we met - two different people from different backgrounds bonding and seamlessly becoming one - it can only be God’s doing. He has been our anchor in everything we’re doing and aspire for. Our shared faith makes the journey more enjoyable. And with God at the heart of our relationship, we are stronger. As they say, a cord of 3 isn’t easily broken.
Faithfulness: One of the 11 songs that played on our wedding day was “I Promise” by Cece Winans. It was a mutual choice. Here are part of the lyrics…
“Everything I have is yours
You're everything I prayed and waited for
And my love, I promise you.”
That was a promise we made to each other and it’s a promise that we try to keep to each other every day, in everything. It’s a promise which has helped us stay faithful, financially transparent, spiritually honest, and on the same page of parenting. I am never worried of where she is, whom she’s meeting and to whom she sent money or what was she is looking for on my phone.
She’s so faithful, trustworthy and diligent. So she keeps all the money, the ATM cards and passwords; my job is to ensure everything is working and we are on track to meet our goals. That peace is irreplaceable.
Generosity: In the last 20 years, this girl has taught me the difference between stewardship and generosity. Guys if I wasn’t married to Carol, I wouldn’t be broke but I don’t think I would have been able to achieve what we’ve achieved. Before we met I used to think I was generous, helping and sharing with those in need. But I was too random and lacked purpose. Then Carol entered the room. Then we talked and decided to keep track of every single coin we earned, our responsibilities, and our financial goals including our giving. And that discipline has helped us to support more people, be more generous and I think be better stewards of what God has blessed us with.
Conversation: From the very first day I talked to this girl, our conversations have never stopped. We can talk! Every time I go anywhere, I can’t wait to get back and talk to my baby. Chick has grown to understand and enjoy conversations about football, politics, conspiracies, and walking, just like I have grown to enjoy stories of wedding dresses, cooking, books and all things girls talk about. When I miss chatting with her after an early morning and a long day, the following day, I squeeze in a moment to call her to catch up. And sometimes a long conversation in the night while cuddling hasn’t been a great contraceptive.
Great sex: In our early years, we discovered the sweetest way to conclude our “peace talks” was making love. Whether it’s journeying through a rough patch or preparing for a major business meeting, lovemaking has the power of calming down everything and put us in the right mood for any battle. And over the years I can say, those regular moments between the two of us are indeed the glue of our relationship.
Girl, you’re still the one I want to walk with for the rest of my life.
14 TYPES OF READERS:
- The Collector = Buys more books than they will ever read and feels genuinely at peace with this
- The Finisher = Cannot rest until every book they start is completed, regardless of whether they're enjoying it
- The Abandoner = Drops any book the moment it stops earning their attention and feels no guilt whatsoever
- The Re-reader = Returns to the same books across different years of their life and finds completely different things each time
- The Underliner = Cannot read without a pen, turning every book into a conversation with the author
- The Purist = Never writes in books, considers it a form of damage, and judges those who do
- The Slow Reader = Reads every sentence twice, pauses to think, and takes three weeks to finish what others finish in a weekend
- The Speed Reader = Consumes books the way others consume content, quickly and constantly
- The Mood Reader = Only reads when the feeling arrives and will not force it, which means some books wait years to be opened
- The Genre Loyalist = Has found their corner of literature and sees no reason to leave it
- The Wanderer = Follows recommendations, accidents, and instincts with no loyalty to genre or expectation
- The Memorizer = Retains everything they read with an almost unsettling precision and quotes books in ordinary conversation
- The Escapist = Reads to leave their life completely and returns to it slightly more able to bear it
- The Transformer = Every book they read changes something in them, which is why they read more carefully than anyone else in the room
After reading Matt Shumer’s “Something Big is Coming” yesterday, which has hit 55M views, I started searching high and low for any and all counter arguments.
Not because I believed he wasn’t being honest. Or revealing valid a tectonic shift coming.
But because there is always two sides (minimum) to every story. Not sometimes. All times.
Forming opinions based on one side is how you get lobotomies becoming accepted psychiatric practice for twenty years.
So, is there any other viewpoint other than the end of the world as we know it where we’re all noodling at the local lake for our dinner?
Perhaps.
And, if so, this is the best I’ve seen.
Take a deep breath. And read it. You’ll take a deep breath after reading it, too.

Up until yesterday, I hadn't heard of Bitchat. Now I'm thinking of downloading it.
Dear, first business owners... 95% of your problems are old problems wearing new clothes... please understand this framework 👇🏾
That supplier who's ghosting you? Caesar had the same issue with grain merchants 100s of years ago.
That investor who keeps moving the goalposts? The Medici banks dealt with that in 1400s Florence.
Your co-founder drama? Jobs and Wozniak. Gates and Allen. Every founding story ever...
Do not convince yourself your situation is special.
Or that your market is different.
Or that your generation is unique.
Stop trying to solve everything from first principles, you're not the first human to run a business...
Someone probably solved the problem that is keeping you up at night in 1987. And 1993. And 2004. And last Tuesday.
I've been in business for about 15 years and it's taken me 12 of them to realise that the first question to ask yourself when you're facing a challenge is...
"Has anyone solved this before?"
When Netflix started streaming - genuinely new. Nobody had done it at scale.
When I started hiring people - ancient problem. Millions had done it before.
When Uber fought city regulations - uncharted territory. The playbook didn't exist.
When I tried to motivate my first team - timeless challenge. Ask any Roman general.
In the last couple of years, I became wildly more productive when I started asking one question: "Who's already solved this?"
If someone has, I find them. Pay them. Hire them. Ask to meet them.
Whatever it takes to not spend three years learning what they can tell me in three minutes.
If nobody has - if it's genuinely unprecedented - then I experiment like hell. No advisors. No books. No "best practices". Fail as fast as I can.
👴🏻 OLD PROBLEMS = FIND EXPERTISE
👶🏼 NEW PROBLEMS = FAST EXPERIMENTATION
The tragedy I see all the time is founders wasting their prime years solving solved problems...
They're brainstorming HR policies that P&G nailed in the 80s.
Their revolutionary approach to email marketing? Someone A/B tested that in 2015.
That radical pricing strategy? It's chapter 4 in a book from 1992.
The smartest founders I know are intellectual thieves - they steal everything that's been solved and pour all their creativity into the 5% that's genuinely unprecedented...
For many founders ego makes us think we're too special for other people's solutions.
Inexperience convinces them their situation is unique.
Insecurity makes them think they look weak for asking for help.
So we sit alone, solving solved problems, while our competitors are already three problems ahead.
You do not need to reinvent the wheel... you just need to find someone who'll explain how the thing works! 🛞
The most expensive education I've gotten is learning things myself that someone twice my age would have told me for free over coffee... 😅
Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.
$30 per seat per month.
$1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation."
The board loved that phrase.
They approved it in eleven minutes.
No one asked what it would actually do.
Including me.
I told everyone it would "10x productivity."
That's not a real number.
But it sounds like one.
HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.
I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."
They stopped asking.
Three months later I checked the usage reports.
47 people had opened it.
12 had used it more than once.
One of them was me.
I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.
It took 45 seconds.
Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.
But I called it a "pilot success."
Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.
The CFO asked about ROI.
I showed him a graph.
The graph went up and to the right.
It measured "AI enablement."
I made that metric up.
He nodded approvingly.
We're "AI-enabled" now.
I don't know what that means.
But it's in our investor deck.
A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.
I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."
He asked what that meant.
I said "compliance."
He asked which compliance.
I said "all of them."
He looked skeptical.
I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."
He stopped asking questions.
Microsoft sent a case study team.
They wanted to feature us as a success story.
I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."
I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.
They didn't verify it.
They never do.
Now we're on Microsoft's website.
"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."
The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.
He got 3,000 likes.
He's never used Copilot.
None of the executives have.
We have an exemption.
"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."
I wrote that policy.
The licenses renew next month.
I'm requesting an expansion.
5,000 more seats.
We haven't used the first 4,000.
But this time we'll "drive adoption."
Adoption means mandatory training.
Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.
But completion will be tracked.
Completion is a metric.
Metrics go in dashboards.
Dashboards go in board presentations.
Board presentations get me promoted.
I'll be SVP by Q3.
I still don't know what Copilot does.
But I know what it's for.
It's for showing we're "investing in AI."
Investment means spending.
Spending means commitment.
Commitment means we're serious about the future.
The future is whatever I say it is.
As long as the graph goes up and to the right.
this is probably an unexpected opinion coming from me... entrepreneurship is over-sold and self-awareness is under-sold 👇🏾
The not so popular truth is, most people would be happier with a good salary than a successful startup.
But social media continues to push a generation to optimise for lives they don't actually want.
Entrepreneurs like me get a lot of likes and followers when we tell people to quit their jobs and chase their dreams.
But here is the context that we nearly always miss👇🏾
Entrepreneurship can be really really boring - you will have to do things you do not enjoy.
You will deal with big, hard, stressful problems, every day - including bank holidays, christmas and any other time off - for years.
If you're lucky enough to be successful, the problems will get bigger, not smaller.
You will not have one boss. You will have hundreds - every customer, every investor, every employee. You will answer to them 24/7.
You will probably work 3x the hours you do now, have 10x the stress and a tiny probability of significant success.
A recent survey found 87.7% of founders deal with at least mental health issues. That's not a bug. It's a feature of entrepreneurship.
You'll see your kids less. You'll probably earn less (for years, maybe forever).
You will probably pay yourself last and as little as possible.
You'll struggle to switch off. Forever. Your phone will probably become a prison.
And here's the punchline: If you succeed, it all gets harder.
More money = more complexity. More growth = more anxiety. More success = more people depending on you.
In life, when you find yourself following someone else's playbook, you are at risk of winning someone else's prizes. All I'm saying is be intentional.
I'm not AGAINST entrepreneurship, I'm FOR self-awareness.
Truth "wealth" is probably👇🏾
✅ Knowing what game you want to play and why
✅ Having the courage not to play other people's games
✅ Understanding your real strengths and weaknesses
✅ Designing within them, not against them
Happiness is not about the structure, the social media post or the story.
Happiness is about alignment. Building a life that's aligned to whoever you are!
This does the beg the question, why do I do it?
If I'm honest, the answer is probably....I don't know.
It's probably some blend of lower t trauma, my inability to fit inside normal structures like school and conventional work-places (I was fired a few times), my adhd brain that makes working on something for 14 straight hours feel like 7 minutes and some childhood self-esteem issues.
Whatever the reason, this is who I am and what works for me.
This is the weird way I make myself happy and fulfilled.
To someone that is not me, it would probably feel like torture.
And to me, their life would probably feel like torture.
And that’s the thing… when you create a life that feels like home to you, it will probably look like hell to tourists.
Please know what you are not!
@fidexcode Q Basic (2009)
The only marriages that survive decades are the ones where both people outgrow their illusions, not each other.
A few hard truths most couples avoid:
At some point, love becomes logistics. If you can handle bills, stress, ageing parents, health scares and bad days without turning into enemies, you’ve already won half the battle.
Rituals matter. Not the Instagram kind…the tiny, boring, consistent ones. Eating together. Checking in. Saying the difficult thing before it becomes poison.
Respect ages better than passion. Desire fluctuates…dignity doesn’t. If your partner can trust your tone even in conflict, the marriage will breathe.
Don’t chase perfection…chase awareness. Most marriages break not because people change, but because they stop noticing each other’s changes.
And finally learn to fight clean. The goal is to solve the problem, not win the argument.
Long marriages are not fairy tales.
They’re two people choosing maturity over impulse again and again even on the days they don’t feel like it.
