Sam Altman Just Got Roasted Right to His Face

"The New York Times, one of the great institutions for a long time, is taking a position that we should have to preserve our users' logs even if they're chatting in private mode, even if they’ve asked us to delete them," the CEO [Sam Altman] explained. "And the lawsuit we're having to fight out, but... we think privacy and AI is an extremely important concept to get right for the future"
This is part of the NYT's lawsuit's discovery process, to find proof of alleged plagiarism.
"Well thank you for your views," the journalist and podcaster said, "and I'll just say it must be really hard when someone does something with your data you don't want them to."
- This mildly snarky comment is considered roasting now?
  
  he left GRILLED with CRISPY skin and WELL DONE eyebrows
  
  When it's a billionaire, any thing short of bowing down is considered hostile behavior.
  
  Yeah, that kind of comment is going to fly over the head of a lot of stupid people.
Until it's Ed Zitron roasting a mute immobile Sam Altman over a literal flame of shadows for hours on end, it's not justice being served.
The NYT is trying to get access to all chat logs including private ones and ones that the user requested be deleted? Yeah, no that's really bad, please let's not celebrate that.
That private data could include things that would out trans people, immigrants, and other marginalized groups to a government that is actively building concentration camps.
I don't care about this drama over which billionaire copied another billionaire's stuff. This request is unacceptable and needs to be stopped. Can we counter sue the NYT for breach of private data?
- We're talking about OpenAI, and the same Altman that has shown his allegiance to the orange fascist. I don't think a NYT claim is going to change OAI exposing vulnerable groups to the government.
  
  I think that's very evocative phrasing for a less-than-productive message. It sounds like saying "we're doomed anyway", which is what the fascists want us to say.
  Privacy matters. I've worked at tech companies and many of them (Amazon excluded) honor their privacy policies. Especially companies with a presence in the EU or in based in California
  To those reading, feeling like there is no good in the world is a serious sign of depression. If you're looking for a sign to talk to a professional, consider this it
