Ex-NSA…how are we supposed to feel about this?

We should be horrified and thank the many people who have blown the whistle about Sam Altman. He is dangerously greedy and has no principles.

Do you not see the national security aspects of 2024 AI? It's very similar to the nuclear race where, right or wrong, there is a non-zero possibility of a winner take all supremacy scenario where the first to reach superintelligence rules the world.

Ex director of the NSA, but to be fair it has been a whole four months since then. What are the chances he still has connections with the agency?

Part of Snowden's explanation for why he was doing NSA work as a BAH contractor was that this is perfectly normal: employees "leave" and are then employed as contractors to get around limits on number and compensation for federal employees. Keeping their security clearances, of course.

Definitely zero.

[manquer]

Or rather that agency has still connections to him

It looks to me like a sign that OpenAI is getting more comfortable with revealing their true colors.

Google, Facebook already have signifiant number of "disinformation staff" from US security state. As another big tech firm that collects huge amount of info and get to decide what to present to the general public, it has be added to that list as well.
