It’s amazing how fast OpenAI succumbed to the siren’s song of surveillance capitalism.



One could argue that was by design. After all, Sam's other company is built around a form of global surveillance.


Yes, it makes me wonder if the “Open” part of “OpenAI” was just a play for time while they ingested as much of the world’s knowledge. It sure seems that way.


They took a billion dollar investment from Microsoft lol. You don't get to just to whatever you want if people are giving you that kind of cash.


Altman should have taken equity if this is the route.


Sam is just altruistically anti privacy and personal autonomy
