Robinson ties his departure to a July Hugging Face intrusion and a September training-run stop failure. OpenAI’s reports confirm control lapses, not a company-wide culture diagnosis.
Hugging Face reported unauthorized access to internal data and service credentials, but was still assessing possible partner and customer impact. California’s inquiry should seek answers without presuming blame.
