Does OpenAI even have the compute to begin to meet demand?

Microsoft probably could buy several tens of billions of servers, though probably not feasible to spin up anytime soon.

This is a problem that money can solve.

Very interesting. Until the day OpenAI has a problem in their systems and the entire world grinds to a halt. Or they put outrageous new prices. Which apparently never happened in other fields, seems.

I don't think I see enough discussion about what this means for privacy. There was some protection in the fact that it was prohibitively expensive to get someone to listen to every single one of our phonecalls/read all our emails/etc. Worrying that this will no longer be the case.

Why do you think there was a mass surveillance of American domestic communications since forever ago, as leaked by Snowden? This technology has been available since then and can effectively summarize millions of pieces of communication.

Yeah but have you seen the leaked slides? It's clear that they have only the ability to analyse 10% or less of the data they are storing.

GPT-like systems will close that gap, and then comes all of the problems of automated law enforcement - Extrapolation from incomplete data, false positives from coindicences, interpretation errors, all that annoying stuff

Man, I can't wait for the AI to start hallucinating crimes.

I mean, if we get to the point AI is pointing the finger at someone i hope that a human will double check it at least.

Of all the futurisms in Minority Report I really didn't think this one would show up so early.

Interesting story, didn't know about it. Thanks.

Shotspotter is a thing and it already has been doing that for years (both on its own and on law enforcement request.)
