Prove which part?

Prove that I work at GitHub? Username + LinkedIn can show (not prove) that easily.

Prove that we have an entitlements system which regulates and audits access? I could point you to https://github.com/entitlements, but it’s all private repositories so that won’t prove much either.

Prove that there are no OpenAI employees with access to GitHub systems? Not sure how I’d do that without dumping (what you would still need to trust me is) the entirety of our org chart/HR system, which I’m not willing to do because I do enjoy being employed and am not exactly obfuscating my identity here.

Prove that HN has a strong anti-Microsoft bias? Well that one is pretty easy actually, you’re helping prove it yourself!

Let’s be real, we now live in a post-truth world. Nothing can truly be proven or disproven outside of formal logic and mathematics. You can either believe what I’m saying as good faith insider knowledge sharing (which is unfortunately rare nowadays) or you can not. Makes no difference to me.

That is my point! The fact that there are a lot of people that will believe what you are stating without a reasonably proof is what makes me sad and worry about the future. That kind of statements you are doing are enough to put in company webpage and term of service and thats it. Any attempt to repeat them as if they are true makes: 1) The messenger looks good in the eyes of stupid and innocent people. 2) The messenger looks stupid in the eyes of people that have reasonable doubts about company statements that are agains their own interest.
