> We don't have any proof of that

It’s fair to give benefit of doubt to Buckmaster given OpenAI is currently being very credibly sued by Apple for openly stealing others’ original work in another context.

A prior of "one large company is current involved in an unrelated lawsuit with another large company" is pretty weak; the case is undecided and about an entirely different kind of IP theft.

In short I think a lot of people are jumping to conclusions without supporting evidence and that's really not helping the situation.

The guy mocked accessing his prior employer's circuit diagrams and was protected by OpenAI until Apple filed suit.

Tabula rasa, sure, we need more evidence. But ignoring the priors should at least be explicitly acknowledged.
