Did AT&T have an NSA board member?
I think there’s a good chance you can send text privately when you use proper encryption and both parties are careful. (Private for now, at least, with potential for decryption in the future.) Nothing about OpenAI makes me think any text hitting their API would ever be private. I would expect a three letter agency at my door if I tried to plan 9/11 Pt. 2 with ChatGPT. What should this appointment make me think?
I’m sure there will be some impact I’m not aware of, but it seems if it were critical for the government to keep the NSA ostensibly distant from the company, this appointment wouldn’t have happened.
