The second one. OpenAI is now in possession of Samsung trade secrets. To Samsung, that's "in the wild". And that's a reasonable viewpoint - OpenAI could easily leak chat logs, overfit future models on this data etc, and there's nothing Samsung can now do about it.
I assume the chat logs are instead training a reward model, which itself is then used as the reward function during RLHF training.
As a side-effect, this feels like a bright spot in the potentially authoritarian trajectory that AI could take as labor becomes less and less valuable. It encourages development of LLMs that compete with the current default option and can be run on more and more limited hardware. Enterprises might even want separate departments, or separate individuals, to be able to run their own models to prevent leakage
They are all gradually catching up and O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com cannot run their services for free forever or even close to free. Eventually the price hikes will come in.
But as long as the AI industry continues to use inefficient methods of training, fine-tuning and inference via using tons of GPU hardware, NVIDIA will continue to smile at relying on this for a long time until a true breakthrough in efficient training and inference methods in neural networks on everyday desktop or typical servers.

Allegedly (reddit), some random chats were recently listed in people's chat lists[1]
I worked in the ATX factory about a decade ago and the network was very locked-down at the time. You can't even get your phone into the building without a security guard doing things to it. Taking basic stuff like paper in/out is also disallowed.
I would have expected a total ban on personal computing devices leaving the parking lot if this happened during my time there.

Some companies drinking the AI koolaid just seem to love learning the hard way.

I suppose these companies can build their own, in-house, Chat application.
OpenAI should be worried and self regulate before the gov’t steps in and does it for them.
