I think the linked interpretation is very, very reasonable and it's a big reason why I tried to deemphasize all the "stuff" you've highlighted in my piece.
I think most of us would agree the person in question - if they're real - is exhibiting signs of a mental health crisis.
That said, I wouldn't have written the piece if I felt the aforementioned interpretation was the primary explanation to everything I'm seeing in the disclosures. I proactively tried as I went through the disclosures.
The issue I'm having is - regardless of what this person is able to concoct with ChatGPT or other methods - they shouldn't have been able to insert themselves and their Vespers "creation" into OpenAI Startup Fund I GP LLC's CA filings even if they wanted to.
One could argue they either needed to "hack" into the CA filing to insert themselves as Manager/CEO or someone at OpenAI allowed it happen (knowingly or unknowingly is tbd).
It also doesn't help OpenAI won't explain 1) how it happened, 2) why it took so long to catch it, and 3) why it wasn't reported to regulators once discovered:
"[OpenAI] declined to elaborate on how exactly fabricated documents came to be filed with the state of California."
I recognize this sounds a bit conspiratorial, but there are elements (I didn't cover) to this person's filings involving OAI that looks very thoughtful/intentional and are hard to dismiss as random/coincidental/hallucinated actions of someone that likely needs help.
And OAI's "response" didn't help address the actual issues I'm seeing.
Whilst I guess it's not entirely impossible that someone would become obsessed with OpenAI, GPT, online filing, fraud and espionage after OpenAI had accidentally attributed ownership of its venture capital fund to a shell company registered in his existing multiple aliases on the same day, I think Ockham's razor suggests the story fits better the other way round.
(I'm not sure what the security processes for online filings are, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone sufficiently motivated and ambivalent about it being a felony could provide the necessary fake documentation, social engineering and/or brute force hacking to get their registered business given a notional role in someone else's unrelated business on a nonbinding document, at least until the other business noted and corrected the record. I know GPT "hallucinates" real names, but picking the existing aliases of the sort of person most likely to go down those rabbit holes seems quite the coincidence. And it'd have been odder if OpenAI's response was anything other than a generic spokesperson denial)
I just want to comment that the image of the Santa Ana property looks a lot like the main character’s apt in the movie Momento, adding some umami to the whole vibe.
