What are you implying? Faking emails opens you up to libel. I doubt OpenAI is trying to add another lawsuit to their workload.

I'm not implying anything. I'm pointing out a lack of openness on OpenAI's part.

Unless it's brought up as a point in court, actual exhibits in lawsuits don't have DKIM signatures either.

I'm not making a legal argument.

Oh!

In that case, let me ask: where have you ever seen DKIM signatures being provided on a public blog post/press release?

Re:OpenAI and Elon Musk by chjj on Wednesday March 06, 2024 @12:12AM (#39612555)
Nowhere, and I criticize it every time. I've even gone to the lengths of trying to find DKIM keys for published emails in the past[1].

But at least those emails were un-redacted. To spell that out for you: in a highly-charged, highly-contentious political setting, emails were published un-redacted and theoretically verifiable with DKIM. No such possibility exists for OpenAI's blog post.

What benefit would that bring, considering the points raised earlier?
