쉐도잉 연습: OpenAI’s lead engineer was secretly a spy... - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
Yesterday, the FBI announced the arrest of the lead engineer of
2
OpenAI's agents platform after he bugged the executive conference room at their HQ, a story I feel uniquely qualified to cover,
3
having spent over 300 hours hiding inside a cardboard box in Metal Gear Solid.
4
And it turns out that that may be more spycraft training than the suspect had, because despite going to Berkeley, MIT, and previously working at Meta,
5
the guy who got arrested seems like an absolute moron.
6
The bug he planted was only in place for about 48 hours before OpenAI found it, and the trail he left behind was so obvious that even Gemini could have followed it.
7
In today's video, we'll walk through the criminal complaint, but find out how a guy who builds agents for a living got caught by one, and speculate who, if anyone, he was actually working for.
8
It is October 14th, 2026, and you're watching The Code Report.
9
The man of the hour is Abdulrahman Alphazan, a 35 -year -old Saudi national
10
and U .S permanent resident who joined OpenAI in July of 2025 as an engineering lead on the product team.
11
Just a few weeks ago, he was being celebrated as the only Saudi employee at OpenAI, where he said one year at the company felt like five years anywhere else, which is fitting
12
because five years also happens to be the maximum amount of
13
time he'll have to keep his cheeks puckered based on the crimes he's being charged with.
14
According to prosecutors, Al -Fozan's operation started about a month ago when he used an internal agent to look up OpenAI meeting rooms, along with room capacities, room calendars,
15
and specifically where leadership and executive meetings happen, and when outside partners are expected to come in.
16
Then, between September 24th and September 30th, he used his wife's ChatGPT account to figure out how to
17
jerry -rig a Wi -Fi -enabled audio recording device with an encrypted SD card.
18
The model, which I assume was GPT -4 -0, because there's no way his wife was getting any emotional affection from this idiot, walked him through how to make it, and based on the photos and the complaint,
19
what he ended up with was a $23 Seed Studio microcontroller with a $0 .50 antenna.
20
And unfortunately for Abdulrahman, the device looks like the exact thing you would use to spy on someone.
21
So to help with that, he went to the bathroom, grabbed some toilet paper, and wrapped it around the microcontroller to conceal it.
22
Then on September 28th, he allegedly committed the perfect crime when he took the $23 spy device, wrapped it in single -ply OpenAI toilet paper,
23
and plugged it into the USB port on the back of the TV in the executive conference room.
24
Now, if you don't have the study historical spy tech for fun form of autism, The gold standard here is a device called the Thing,
25
which Russian Leon Theremin built for the Soviets in 1945, that had no battery and no active components,
26
and only came alive when the Soviets pointed a radio beam at it from a van across the street, which made it almost impossible to detect.
27
They hid it inside a carved wooden seal
28
that Soviet schoolchildren gifted to the US ambassador in Moscow as a token of friendship, and it hung on the wall inside of his office,
29
listening to four different ambassadors for seven years before anyone found it.
30
Abdul Rahman's toilet paper bug lasted two days when OpenAI's Technical Surveillance Countermeasures team found it during a routine suite.
31
From there, OpenAI says they used their models to understand the device and where it came from, which sounds impressive until you remember the board has a MAC address,
32
and two days earlier, Abdul Rahman's wife's account had pasted the exact same one into ChatGPT.
33
If that wasn't enough evidence, they also found security footage showing Abdul Rahman hanging out near the executive room on six separate days
34
and just to be sure, they quietly installed a camera behind the executive room TV and waited for him to return.
35
And on October 5th, he was back.
36
Four days later, he was fired and arrested on the same afternoon
37
and charged with one count of federal wiretapping and one count of being the dumbest person who ever attended MIT.
38
Now, the one thing the complaint never says is who any of this was for.
39
The charge is wiretapping, which only requires proving he secretly recorded people and not espionage, which will require proving he did it for a foreign government.
40
But his bio does have him as an investor at RAED Ventures, a VC firm in Riyadh, where he sits on the team page right next to His Highness, Prince Khalid bin Bader al -Sad.
41
An investigative journalist, Scott Stedman, pointed out that the prince's father is a senior Saudi intelligence official.
42
Either way, it's another rough look for a company
43
that within the last few weeks has scrapped its newest model for being too deceptive
44
and fired three safety researchers for mishandling sensitive information.
45
And if you're also having a rough time lately, at least your builds can be fast with Blacksmith, the sponsor of today's video.
46
It's a drop -in replacement for GitHub Runners
47
that lets you run your GitHub actions twice as fast while costing 75 % less.
48
And they just launched Codesmith, a cloud coding agent that knows your repos and CI runs, so you can just ask it to build something from GitHub, the web, or Slack like I'm doing here.
49
I'm asking it to add a new AI provider to my app and wire up the API key in my infrastructure repo.
50
And it can open a PR in each one than fix failing tests
51
or address review comments without me relaying messages between bots.
52
You can also ask it to recommend better runner sizes from your CI history and turn those changes into a PR.
53
So you're not just renting a supercomputer to check your semicolons.

This has been the Code Report, thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
