OpenAI says it discovered a sophisticated recording device hidden in one of its offices, used its own models to understand the device and identify a specific employee who had planted it days earlier, and referred the matter to the FBI — which quickly made an arrest. Commenters mock the device as a noob-level Seeed Studio build with sloppy soldering (photo in post).
