This wasn't buried by other venues, it was reported on by multiple credible publications yesterday and received little fanfare. The highlight of the entire debacle is Sam Altman trying to absolve OpenAI of responsibility by blaming one of their FOSS libraries.
The publisher is bad as the article, I was not attaching you personally btw, I would just suggest to search a better article for this kind of stories. The daily mail is just garbage, you can find better articles on the same event elsewhere.
