## Article

Chang Liu texted LOL so funny at the leftover Apple login then spent weeks downloading dozens of confidential files while developing hardware for OpenAI. That leftover authentication bug looked hilarious to Liu as he funneled Apple's network storage over to the OpenAI hardware team. Liu just kept downloading after he left Apple like the access was still his to play with. Apple slammed the opposition down August 19 in San Jose NDCA because OpenAI wants the whole thing dismissed ahead of the October 1 hearing. Liu found the leftover login hilarious enough to spend weeks on it while already building the next thing at OpenAI. The files Liu pulled were confidential and he treated the whole leftover situation like a gag. San Jose court is where Liu's LOL moment stops being funny.
