I find that hard to believe at Apple. Not even possible that it’s accidental. They have their own internal tools, all packets leaving the network will be interrogated, leaking data is a sackable offence… if it’s in the geekbench database then it’s there because they put it there.

This is a story that folks like to tell, but it's not really how things work - at least since they stopped letting Steve Jobs lock all his engineers in the conference venue.

Leaks are a sackable offence at every tech firm, deep packet inspection firewalls are used all over the place, information leaks like this still happen pretty much every single product cycle.

The details of the Apple vs. OpenAI dispute over leaked data show their security is not quite that tight.

+1 . The only case it is allowed is Apple's own marketing team.

Just recently there was the OpenAI vs Apple trial, where it came out that employees that left the company still had access to their internal net, sooo super plausible

It’s happened in the past. Like that employee who left the unreleased iPhone in a bar by accident.

Where does the myth of Apple come from? You should go on blind and ask someone that works there the reality lolol
