According to Reuters, OpenAI stored most of its code in a single monorepo, so anyone with code access could read details of many projects, including sensitive ones unrelated to their own work.
Staff warned leadership about this for years; complaints reached executives and the board. Yet some staff concluded the company tolerated the risk to keep pace with Google and other rivals.
