This is difficult to believe. How reliable is the source of the leak?

I think it came from 4chan.

What is q-star?

That claim is rather...extreme

EDIT: Read a little bit now that I'm not on mobile and I'm convinced it's bullshit. how many software engineers/MLE's have seen a perfectly written email like that without tons of typos and grammar mistakes? It's literally too perfect - this is likely the product of a LLM to produce "real-looking" fodder for conspiracy theorists.
