"When pressed about the legitimacy of their employment, wineheda shared a screenshot of the unreleased ad, but with one fatal mistake, if true. The image's metadata had a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) link, directed toward the ad agency that hosted the full video -- therefore, leaking the clip to the public. Recordings of the leaked video are available all over the internet by now."
"In the minute-long video, a person is seen wearing the rumored OpenAI earbuds, which have a glossy, metallic finish and pointed sides. They're staring at what appears to be a pebble-shaped charging case, also with a reflective coating that mirrors their expressions as the words "dime" and "almost time" appear in the frame. Instead of what was supposedly a teaser for OpenAI's first hardware product, the company called things off last minute in favor of a less polarizing showcase of Codex."
A self-proclaimed OpenAI employee named "wineheda" leaked a snippet of an unreleased ad showing AI earbuds codenamed Dime or Sweetpea. The leaked clip features glossy metallic earbuds with pointed sides and a pebble-shaped reflective charging case displaying the words "dime" and "almost time." The image metadata contained an FTP link pointing to the ad agency hosting the full video, which allowed wider access and led to recordings spreading online. The planned teaser was reportedly pulled in favor of a less polarizing Codex showcase after internal pressure from stakeholders including Meta during a creative versus business decision.
