Do you think it happened? Research stolen from their Codex private chats
reddit.comIt's possible that OpenAI was mining prominent researcher's chats for inspiration to tackle these problems, but it's also entirely possible the leak came from his collaborator's end as he works at Anthropic and I'm sure there's plenty of corporate espionage going on between those two. That would also explain why they didn't want to comment on the source of the prompt.
They are currently being sued for trade secret theft so it seems likely.
If true it could have quite an impact.
Everyone I think assumes training in the general “it affects the distribution” sense. But if it fishes precise novel insights out as alleged then it makes these products dramatically less valuable. At least the non zdr ones
Can you opt out of sharing data for “analytical purposes”? I think you can’t. And what does “analytical purposes” even mean?
I think people straw man the whole data argument on “opt out of training purposes” and ignore the mandatory analytic purposes. Which probably includes figuring out trends and important research problem data to steal from users and even business ideas.
I'm surprised solutions weren't trained off their Office365 or Google Docs..
Yes.
