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.

Now that is something I hadn't considered. Woah.

Not to sound condescending but really? How is this not immediately your mind goes? Every piece of information ever recorded can now be summarized and cross-linked efficiently. Privacy is beyond dead. Soon every authoritarian government (and Democratic ones albeit secretly) will have integrated platforms that track every single one of your movements, known contacts, internet usage, financial data, and correspondence. Big Brother has NEVER EVER been more effective than it will become.

Yeah, I think the NSA is going to get their money's worth for that Utah Datacenter that they started building like 20 years ago.

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.

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

Looking at this from far away, with the Snowden revelations in mind I'd think it's not tinfoil hat territory to assume that some of the progress at OpenAI got achieved with some help from well ressourced folks in the USG/Three Letter Agencies.
