I imagine they found the device and then planted a camera to catch whomever came back to get the original device

Free startup idea: Anti-espionage cameras for corporate offices. Put it behind TVs and plants etc. and it will notify the security team if it detects new objects.

I'm sure employers will never use in-office surveillance monitoring for anything that resembles algorithmic labor management and exploitation

Certainly they would be transparent and very ethical with something like that

> How did they get that capture of Alfozan looking behind the TV?

“OpenAI personnel found the device Sept. 3…On Oct. 5, the complaint says, Alfozan entered the conference room and appeared to look behind the television.”

The image was captured after the bug was found.

A camera behind every TV in the office would be something…

But no the boring answer is that after they found the device they left it in place and planted the camera to see who came looking for it.

They just asked a chatbot to identify the device and its origins, apparently. His log was used as evidence after the fact as well.
