#22People will pay for OpenAI to have access to their financial data??
I wonder if I could pay someone to run me over with a bus.

#24It seems like every three years or so I need to use a tool with a plaid link feature, I try it, it gives some internal plaid error, then I find some other way of solving the issue.

#25All set for a perfect storm with a single exploit down the line. Which could take out so much and OpenAI with it. What a way to burst the bubble, not an if, more a when as so many eggs in that basket and they have yet to invent a solid lid. Reminds me of the underpant gnomes in many ways Collect underpants ???AI??? Profit
> Which could take out so much and OpenAI with it I guess I’m not seeing the systemic failure mode with a Plaid hook-up? The worst case is it sends a bunch of peoples’ money into the aether. That sucks for them and for OpenAI. But I’m not seeing it e.g. collapsing a bank.
A meme prompt with a prompt injection in it would easily reach millions of ChatGPT users.

just takes a single corrupt prompt and a class action lawsuit is easily primed.
But yeah, can't have a systemic failure in the grift economy.

#27I’ve been asked to sign up to plaid by clients three times. Each time I’ve said no. I’m not giving a 3rd party access to my bank account. I don’t understand how people enable this total loss of friction for direct account egress. There needs to be friction.
Refinancing a loan I passed on the lowest possible rate I could get, for a slightly higher one, specifically because they used Plaid.
I'm not the most privacy-focused individual, not nearly as paranoid as I could be, but Plaid's model is an OBVIOUS step too far.

#28It’s like we are trying to run as fast as possible towards an AI controlled disaster by connecting absolutely everything we can to the AI… even in the worst sci-fi the robots need to steal codes to get access to systems and we are just leaving the door wide open.
We're not trying to run as fast as possible towards anything. It's a bunch of investors trying to run as fast as possible towards the AI controlled disaster, or as they see it, an AI controlled unlocking of value.

#29> OpenAI did this with your health data in January. Now it wants your financial data too.
This is far more valuable, they can see what political affiliation you have based on your campaign donations, predict things like cheating on your wife & the impending divorce, what vices you have and they can also build shadow profiles of all the people you give and receive money from even if they don't use the product.

#30I’m generally positive towards AI and LLMs.. BUT there’s just things that nobody should be doing ever, like give it access to your production system or bank account.
But LLMs are like humans!
Nothing wrong about with giving them access to your bank or savings accounts /s
