How can this happen in 2023? More importantly, how can a well-funded firm like OpenAI allow such lousy database bug to occur in their system? For all the hatred towards Google, I'm sure at least they wouldn't have this kind of problems once they open their (much more powerful) LLM.

Well, if someone wants to help fix it, they're hiring security engineers [0] for $200 - 370k per year, although you'd have to move to San Francisco.

It almost certainly happens after the DB layer. I would bet 10:1 that this is a cache issue, although without knowing their stack I have no idea where the cache lives.

I wouldn't bet on that. Back in 2020 Google photos had a "technical glitch" that resulted in videos getting leaked to other users.
