Yeah that is my strong baseline prior. But it's colliding with what Ma reports. How do you reconcile those things?

Impossible to know without either more information about the actual occurrence or a deep understanding of the person making the claims. Just as OpenAI could easily be acting improperly, researchers who (understandably) feel deeply attacked by their problem getting solved right from under them might not be the most unbiased, either.

AFAIK OpenAI has not directly responded to the claims. If they ignore it, I don’t see what choice you have except to assume the worst.
