> While I understand that tech companies have serious and legitimate concerns about corporate espionage, it appeared that OpenAI—probably the buzziest tech firm at the moment—believed that an unpublicized address and a buzzer had effectively rendered them an impenetrable fortress. The far more likely reality is that no one who was qualified to speak on the record on behalf of the company was available at a random time of day... because you need to make an appointment for that... just like they said. Hell, they might not even have been in the building at the time. With remote work all the more prevalent, they could be working out of town. I'm baffled why a reporter in SF believed any modern tech company would just sit down for an interview in the middle of the day because they showed up to their office unannounced. The behavior observed in this article is exactly what I'd expect from any responsible company. It has 0 to do with "corporate espionage." Just standard security practice.
