I don't think that's what the parent was getting at. The US and China are in an ongoing "cyber war". Both sides of that conflict actively use their computers to send messages/signals to other computers, hoping that the exploits contained in those messages/signals can be used to exfiltrate data from and/or gain control of the computer receiving the message. It would really be weird to flatly discount the possibility that some OpenAI data was leaked, however closely guarded it may be.




I flatly discount the possibility because OpenAI can't produce evidence of a breach. At best, they'd rather hide the truth than admit a compromise. At worst they show incompetence that they couldn't detect such a breach. Not a good look either way.

It’s even weirder to raise it as a possibility when there is literally nothing suggesting that was even remotely the case.

So if there is no evidence nor even formal speculation, then the only other reason to suggest this as a possibility would be because of one’s own opinions regarding Chinese companies. Hence my previous comment.
