I’m going to guess that planning a mass shooting clears any hurdle that would be in place here.
replyWhile the privacy around ai chatbots is rotten in general, I can’t fault anyone who reported this.
Maybe not one that reported it, but the ‘we scan every message you sent into this for disallowed speech’ part is what gives me pause.
replyThey shouldn’t be in a position to report it at all.
Is it really "blanket surveillance" when it only sees exactly what you put into it? That's like saying you're being filmed against your will while... filming yourself.
replyI get where you’re coming from, but I think if the progression of technology has shown us anything, it’s that there will be constant competitive and social pressures being applied to use these tools more and more and that pressure will race far ahead of any privacy, consumer protections, public education and societal wellbeing counter forces. So opt-out ends up being a rapidly shrinking iceberg in practice.
reply"slippery slope" is an old phrase for a reason.
replyCounterpoint, if you give the agent access to your files - which happens to include the Notepad diary you've been writing since your teens - and it makes a similar conclusion about something you privately wrote, would have the same opinion?
replyYes, and it's weird that on a form of technologists we're going with the idea that all of these systems we use every day to hold our personal private information that we are constantly ensured is secured against anyone unauthorized from accessing it is actually snitching to the cops just because someone else is hosting it on our behalf.
replyThe 3rd Party Doctrine destroyed the 4th amendment and is the reason privacy respecting software has to play legal games. E2EE while a good security practice shouldn't be necessary to protect you against the cops rummaging around your stuff. The bar to establish that information is private shouldn't be "literally mathematically inaccessible but the cops are still allowed to try."
