		Yeah that. After three bad experiences in a row they are no hire status. There’s plenty of better people out there who just aren’t interested in that sort of stuff.

Smart people can do dumb things. Their LinkedIn profile looks typical for an OpenAI engineer.

We also don’t know if this person did it under duress.

He was a Saudi national, so that is a possibility

It's AI inbreeding all the way down.

Technical skill and common sense/street smarts are usually inversely related.

I could def espionage better. Does that qualify me to work at OpenAI?

You might want to have a seat first if you want this explained.
