> think of the word “hacking” as clickbait to the real heart of the matter

I’d rather we didn’t normalise clickbait interpretations; that’s how words get their meanings diluted and corporations throw sand in our eyes. OpenAI is using a specific word to elicit a reflexive emotion from us to be on their side against The New York Times. Don’t fall for it, it’s purposely disingenuous.

Think about it for two minutes and there’s no scenario where this doublespeak looks good for OpenAI. Either they’re lying about what happened (not a hack), or they just proved they cannot be trusted with your data (they got hacked).
