  OpenAI has removed all references to acquiring Jony Ive's company IO from its site because they've been sued by a IYO, a Google X spinout that is building an AI powered wearable device.  —  The company claims it shared confidential product details with Ive & Altman who are now vi…

  Did Sam Altman and Jony Ive plan to rip off Iyo's device, but were so stupid that they literally called their company “io” while leaking that they planned to make something very similar?  And OpenAI once tried to acquire the company in question?  —  Every day I believe shit can't…

  Oh my god!  Not only does this sound very very similar to what OpenAI promised, Bizjournals reports that *OpenAI once tried to acquire them*.  Very nasty stuff from Mr. Altman and Mr. Ive!  —  www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco...  bsky.app/profile/timb...  www.wsj.com/tech/ai/what…

  I, for one, am shocked that the org whose core business is remixing everyone else's work ran into an intellectual property issue.  [embedded post]

  OpenAI facing tangible consequences for infringing one (1) trademark but essentially none for infringing millions of copyrights is an Eddie Izzard bit www.theverge.com/news/690858/ ...

  Anyone know why openAI deleted the film of Sam Altman and Jony Ive talking about their new partnership?  —  This is the 404 page at the video's former URL: [image]

  OpenAI had to scrub all mentions of the “io” name from their site because they got sued over it.  Personally, I think the name kind of sucks so I'm fine with this. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ ...

  Sam x Jony page on OpenAI is deleted, YouTube video is private, and the repost of the openai twitter account deleted as well. It's so over.

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  The Jony Ive and OpenAI deal is on track and has NOT dissolved or anything of the sort, I'm told. Here's what happened: they were sued over the name IO and there was a restraining order issued by the judge. They had to pull all materials with the name.

• @openainewsroom @openainewsroom on x

  This page is temporarily down due to a court order following a trademark complaint from iyO about our use of the name “io.” We don't agree with the complaint and are reviewing our options. https://openai.com/...

  Biggest gossip since Elon and Donald broke up? Sam & Jony page at OpenAI gives a 404! Love sometimes perishes quickly. Anyone have an inside scoop?

• @joannastern Joanna Stern on x

  The judge was like IO— I mean, I order— you to stop using that name.

• @markgurman Mark Gurman on x

  Spokesperson on IO name lawsuit: “This is an utterly baseless complaint, and we'll fight it vigorously.”
