Sun Yuchen stated that his lawyer recently appeared in federal court in California to oppose World Liberty Financial (@worldlibertyfi)'s request to force the dispute into confidential arbitration and seal documents. The court ruled that all of Sun Yuchen's personal claims will continue to be heard in open court; at the same time, it rejected the suggestion to submit all company-related claims to arbitration and required both parties to negotiate which claims will remain in court and which will go to arbitration.

Wang Jianlin was once the god of versions, just as I was an unbelievable young person. The cruelest part of version updates is that those at the peak are always the last to notice.So if today a young person tells me something I don't understand, or even something I want to mock, I find it hard to have the same confidence as Wang Sicong. I would serve him a cup of tea and listen to him talk about his world. Because arrogance is always the first asset to be liquidated. We can never predict the future, but believing in young people is always right."In 2019, after Justin Sun purchased a charity lunch with Buffett for about 31.54 million yuan, Wang Sicong shared related articles on his social media with a mocking caption.

OpenAI issued a public statement on August 3 in response to the lawsuit filed by Apple. OpenAI described Apple's lawsuit as "careless, aggressive, and personal," and pointed out several factual inaccuracies: an external lawyer from Apple mistakenly sent an email intended for someone else to OpenAI's legal head, falsely claiming that the two parties had spoken over the phone; Apple later admitted it was due to "confusing two Asian surnames." OpenAI also revealed that after contacting Apple in February, Apple stated it was "working to resolve any issues," but then did not communicate for 5 months until filing the lawsuit.Regarding the allegations against former Apple employee Chang Liu for taking confidential information, OpenAI presented iMessage records from after his departure showing that Apple colleagues had proactively contacted him to request assistance in locating documents, and acknowledged that this was a common issue caused by Apple's "poor management of exit access." Another named executive, Tang Tan, had worked at Apple for over 24 years, and OpenAI stated that he had consistently required his team "not to use any confidential information from other companies." OpenAI indicated that it had proactively offered to cooperate in resolving the matter, but Apple chose to file a lawsuit, claiming that its request for a preliminary injunction was "based on false information and completely unnecessary." Previously, Apple sued OpenAI in July, accusing it of poaching Apple employees and using confidential information to develop AI products.
