We’re about to find out how much OpenAI is willing to pay to avoid discovery.
This being a public interest group, they might not even take the bribe
So this company is suing based on a CA state law arguing unfair competition. To me, this case seems weak and if it does have merit in California it certainly won’t in federal courts. Actual complaint rather than the ai summary pretending to be a news article
The organization sued under California’s Unfair Competition Law, arguing OpenAI’s “unlawful and unfair business practices” diverted work and resources to responding to the Hugging Face incident.
This ain’t going anywhere. Hugging Face already had a large chunk of OpenAi money to keep quiet about the incident. No doubt they’ve waived their rights for future litigation too. A bunch of public interest lawyers in the US isn’t going to help. The government won’t allow it.
