I know a lot of people use private conversations with chatbot as a replacement to journaling which is a form of self therapy. So… those can be aired willy nilly too then. They are out on public clouds now.
have to use a local llm for that if thats how you wish to use them.
Would it have helped him if he had encrypted it, or would he have had to reveal it anyway?

This is why politicians don't write things down and can 'never recall'.

That just means HN anti-flamewar has been triggered, it’s fairly standard on this site for controversial topics
Seriously is nothing sacred anymore? Like I think the entirety of OpenAI leadership are scumbags but how is it OK to force someone, anyone, to publish their most private thoughts? EDIT: I sorry read over this part: > OpenAI submitted the journals as evidence in October that was initially sealed and then unsealed in January So they chose to submit it as evidence themselves. I stand corrected, insane move though, why w…
> anymore? This is how discovery has always worked. > submitted Doesn't necessarily mean they volunteered it. Either submission or the unsealing could have been in response to a subpoena or court ruling. Maybe the solution is to write at the top of your journal that you are cc'ing your lawyer on it. (Not legal advice!)
The lawyers submitted it sealed which means they "did their best" to protect privacy, but the guy had written snidely-whiplash-esque plans and pondering, so they were unsealed. Even I can see that it is applicable to the case.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The simple solution is to "not write your private thoughts on someone else's loaned paper". Keep your personal life to personal paper and personal devices. Don't write your life out onto something subject to discovery by someone else's legal department.
The key is that your personal private papers may be subject to discovery via your employer, your life, and more. Especially if you're a C-level exec. Policies about document and media handling are important if you're up where discovery is an active possibility. Or "have nothing to hide."

Even if it were a notebook, it could end up in court. If someone sees you writing in a book and talks about it during discovery, you can end up with a court order to produce that book.
Discovery can even be more broad - "provide all written or recorded messages involving this decision" and if you "forget" about your private diary and it's later found out, that's a paddlin'.
I’m too paranoid to write a diary, even a handwritten one, and I’m literally a nobody. It’s beyond me how these super important (and controversial) people keep diaries where they lay out their evil plots like a villain from Scooby Doo. And save it on a work computer.
