Wired reports the chatbot prompts reveal the engineer’s alleged efforts to set up a covert listening device, days before one was found in a meeting room used by high-level executives. The Verge reports he was identified as Abdulrahman Alfozan, a thirty-five-year-old Saudi national, charged with endeavoring to use a device to intercept oral communications, per a Justice Department press release. How did they find it? The New York Times reports OpenAI says the device was built to evade detection, and that he had planned to secretly record meetings in other sensitive spaces too. Matthew Berman’s video reports OpenAI says it used its own models to trace where the device was manufactured and identify the employee. Allegedly on both ends of it, then.

A specific property. That is what the company offers, per Four Oh Four Media. Not a city, not a block. The listing. Lead story: Top three, and fifth of seven.
