OpenAI denies Codex prompts touched training after baseless chat-data theft claims

After OpenAI said it made progress on another Millennium Prize problem beyond Navier-Stokes, critics baselessly claimed the company had stolen private chat data as proof. OpenAI told The New York Times its investigation shows no user inputs after July 3 — including two months of Dr. Buckmaster's Codex prompts — could have influenced the system in any way, training included. Quintin Pope calls the accusation irresponsible; OpenAI says it is still deciding how to share the new results.
