Paul M. Nakasone stepped down as NSA director in February and will now join the company’s Sam Altman-led safety team.

        There’s probably a bunch of idealistic engineers dreaming to change the world for the better in the beginning, easily tamed by large amounts of cash when it starts to turn darker.

    I love the idea of an unaccountable spy agency using alpha technology that hallucinates answers with complete confidence /s

    They already have Larry Summers, the laziest has-been “economist” on Earth. Sam Altman is similarly a charismatic fraud who continuously fails up. I don’t know anything about Paul Nakasone but given his NSA connections, this might be the worst board in history.

          If that brings you joy, maybe you might like the Behind the Bastards episodes on Kissinger. Just to really cement in you mind what a piece of shit he was. And also to find out that at one point he was a bit of a sex symbol, which I personally find, at minimum, mildly disturbing.

            I relistened to it the whole series on him the night he dies while drinking champagne. Felt good

              It’s a rare thing for me to celebrate someone’s death, but it’s a shame he didn’t kick off sooner.

    The fox is in the hen house now… Perfect positioning to prevent any strategic rivals from taking advantage of the technology. All hail the new AI tech overlords… Humans will just use this new tech to accumulate even more wealth and power to themselves. This is what individualism does.

    “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.
