OpenAI Says Employee Planted "Sophisticated" Recording Device In Office; FBI Arrests Saudi National
OpenAI said Tuesday that it found a hidden recording device in one of its offices, used its own AI models to work out who put it there, fired the employee and handed the matter to the FBI, which made an arrest.
The company posted the account on X from its newsroom handle:
"We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices," OpenAI said.
"We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we're grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest."
OpenAI said it has "no indications" the employee accessed or exfiltrated model weights, source code or customer data.
The company added that the FBI's investigation is ongoing and that it will keep supporting it, and it p...

Saudi Arabia Rejects Request From Netanyahu To Join Yemen Operations
Israeli media is reporting that the Netanyahu government wants to join the fight against the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen, and is seeking the Saudi coalition's permission to do so.

However, Haaretz has also underscored that MbS is rejecting the appeal, mainly on fears it could cause outrage and backlash among his domestic population.

Houthi War Escalates: Riyadh Strikes Sanaa Oil, As Several Saudi Airports Shuttered
The Saudi coalition, which is calling itself the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, on Tuesday issued a warning for civilians to evacuate a site in Sanaa ahead of a targeted operation. The city has been held by the Houthis going all the way back to 2014, and is the main base of the Iran-aligned government there.
Specifically, civilians are being urged evacuate the Yemen Petroleum Company's Al-Sabahah central fuel station in Sanaa, and the publication went so far as to issue an illustrative map of the location. There are emerging reports of active bombings of the area.
Additional to this was (on the flip side) a published warning by Ansar Allah on Tuesday for Saudi citizens to "evacuate" areas near Aramco's headquarters in Dammam, King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, and Aramco's Riyadh refinery - which comes amid ongoing reports of the Houthis targeting territory of the kingdom.
