Paul M. Nakasone stepped down as NSA director in February and will now join the company’s Sam Altman-led safety team.
This is the real future evil . It’s impressive how OpenAI won the AI race by crawling faster in a legal hole the whole internet … and society being unaware . Just that. And governments are not doing a shit about it. They have centralized the biggest human database of information and trained a LLM . It’s exactly what happened in Westworld .
The safety team is perfect for him. AI “safety” has always just been a push to deem anything not under big corp’s control as a danger to profits society. If safety was the actual goal, then they should start with data collection and privacy. But I wonder why they wouldn’t want to mention that…
1984 + 40 = 2024
“as a first priority.” Nakasone will “also contribute to OpenAI’s efforts to better understand how AI can be used to strengthen cybersecurity by quickly detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats.”
So what you’re saying is that the guy is there to setup data collection to feed to the NSA surrounding any and all inputs and ensure that the inputs are not able to be used for any meaningful intelligence actions by US competitors. Got it.
Former head but active agent absolutely
