His reaction to this incident as being a sort of targeted hit piece towards him specifically was utter paranoid nonsense and just really made him look full of shit from an outside perspective. Further, authors of the piece received countless death threats from a mob of angry redditors with no real insight other than "someone got doxxed?!?! HOW DARE THEY!!!" (a narrative which I personally fell victim to before reading the actual article). Scott did nothing to remedy this situation and perhaps even fanned the flames a good deal.
More people should read the article, if anything because it provides interesting insight into Sam Altman's shady behavior.
