There will inevitably be some people who dismiss this story as a dishonest marketing trick by OpenAI to make their models sound terrifyingly effective. I found 81 instances of the term “marketing” in the Hacker News discussion of the incident.

But a marketing stunt isn't the only possibility. Until this is all verified by investigators or 3rd party experts we can't rule out an act of corporate espionage either. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
