Snowden has shown us that Microsoft and every other big tech will happily give NSA the keys. Given that OpenAI is fully beholden to Microsoft both in terms of ownership and compute, I have to assume NSA gets whatever they want from OpenAI, directly or through Microsoft.

Now, apps and services are integrating AI like crazy, penetrating just about every type of information, and much of these integrations are sending data to OpenAI, voluntarily. People are sending their private thoughts to OpenAI as they brainstorm, as they write, before fully fledged ideas are even formed. NSA must be enjoying this transparency now.



These concerns are doubtlessly well-founded based on disclosures, particularly the Snowden disclosures.

But as for infinite data and definitely smart enough people to have ten SOTA LLMs in flight?

I don’t think TAO/EG needs any help from fucking Microsoft.


Snowden has shown us that nobody cares.

The disclosures of Snowden should have brought about profound change in this entire debate (> 10 years ago).

Instead he is a refugee with not much more to do than to shill crypto.


Snowden showed only what his handlers told him to show.
