OpenAI Bugging Incident, Are Your Devices Listening? Xbox Launches Remix Lab | Diet TBPN

Device and platform security concerns (from corporate bugging to smart-TV spyware) are increasingly shaping how investors should view tech company risk and trust.

• OpenAI bugging incident: A $15 Chinese-made recording device wrapped in toilet paper was found behind a TV in an executive conference room; FBI is investigating an engineer associated with a chatbot account that searched for how to build a hidden, Wi-Fi-connected, encrypted audio recorder.
• Microphone-ad myth persists: Hosts revisit the long-debunked 'phones listen to you' theory (Wired 2017, Antonio Garcia Martinez), arguing geolocation and shared-receipt data better explain 'creepy' ad targeting, not live eavesdropping.
