I think the exploit would be training on ChatGPT users' chat history.

If ChatGPT ever outputs other user's chat history, the company is as good as dead. If that could be exploited using this technique that is out in the wild for over a year: show me the data.
That was a regular frontend bug though, not an issue with the LLM
It is an issue with the company though. I saw that as well. The point is that leaking user data doesn't destroy startups, it barely even hurts well established companies.
Read OpenAI's response to this security issue carefully - it tells you a lot about how they think of being responsible for issues like this. I remember they put all the blame on the open source library, rather than taking responsibility themselves.
