Bad news about the OpenAI bugging case. This was probably not an action taken by a hostile intelligence service. That means that the bugs planted by the PRC MSS remain. I recommend OpenAI commission a bug sweep by an experienced team, real professionals with experience finding bugs planted by hostile services. This was not one of those. The devices mentioned in by DoJ's release could have been built by any one with a little tech skill. Motive could have been to collect info to sell, and maybe he wanted to work for an intel service (or another company). But this was not a savvy actor. The DoJ complaint also mentioned other amateur moves, like: - He used a company productivity tool to look up building addresses, meeting rooms, room calendars, and "leadership and exec" locations. - A chatbot account tied to his spouse asked how to "build a continuous audio recorder," "customize Wi-Fi . . . connectivity," and "encrypt the SD card." - On October 5 he went back into the conference room and appeared to look behind the TV. - That same day he left a bag unattended. Security found his wallet, his ID, and a second recording device in it. So, every frontier model company should take this as a warning. If a hostile intel service wants to listen to you, they are doing it right now. You can get high end bug sweeps, but you should do due diligence on the teams you engage for that. You want experts with experience working for the FBI, NSA or CIA who have been up against high end threats. And you will want them coming back frequently. They can also advise you about risks of having smart TVs and smartphones in rooms with sensitive discussions.
