"OpenAI personnel found the device Sept. 30. It was plugged into a USB port on the back of a television in an executive conference room and had been concealed in toilet paper,"

I wonder what the IQ of someone needs to be to think that covering it up with tp makes it less suspicious instead of more. And I also wonder what the hiring process was like to hire someone with that mental frame.

Yeah he should have just stuck a post it note with the words “do not remove” and nobody would have noticed

The bar @ OAI is surprisingly low (watch a few minutes of their video presentations) - I've concluded it has something to do w how their recruiters define 'AI Native' (who assign their own meaning to meaninglessness of it), resulting in higher aggregate brain atrophy (hard to ignore once you notice it)

Remember, this is only the company responsible for potentially building and aligning AGI. No need to be setting high expectations toward their sandboxing or hiring capabilities.

What, we’re supposed to vet everyone we network with at orgies now?

Further evidence the hiring process is orthogonal to competence.

I also wonder what this guy was paid by those AI labs...

If it were _used_ toilet paper, nobody would have touched it.
