I think everyone ive met at this point has admitted to putting trade secrets and confidential info into chat gpt. I wonder what open ai will do with this data when the bonfire of investment money dries up ? I imagine open ai will look more like macafee in 10 years than an AI company. (Aka rent seeking from the problem they caused)
Aside from that. AI is imo really starting to drop the bottom from do nothing corporate administration. Millions of high paid people that all of us deal with on a daily basis have been offloading the burden of their job to expoited underlings. Now that those underlings have a release valve, and make no mistake they are using it broadly. What will happen when no one is at watch anymore? Well i can tell you, its called collapse. How that looks is to be seen or if anti AI laws get drafted to stop it.

"Permission" will be granted through some loophole backdoor to the data. Or through 500 page acceptance agreements gotten through duress like when you are being treated at your regular doctor.

adamlang Link ParentAsk them which laws in which state that they can say are for sure protecting them? What about the other 49 states where the company could easily move their operations to get around various laws?..... Oh but there are laws against that! Not a problem!
Ask them which laws in which state that they can say are for sure protecting them? What about the other 49 states where the company could easily move their operations to get around various laws? Can you provide the law in at least the current state much less cross reference all 50 states?
The answers is always "I don't know but there are laws." Bonus Reaction: "I'm not going to waste time looking them up"
Did you know? Laws can be changed in the future?
"You are just being negative"
Ok.....

Its obvious how no other solution is ever discussed. Just the sky is falling..blah...blah "Exploit foreign workers...less laws"
Your "representatives" are all cowards or owned by corporations. No one is getting saved. This is how things fall apart.

Especially the estimated habitable planets per galaxy number. Which should be at best 1 by default since its all the evidence we have.
The drake equasion answers the question on its own. I guess they just choose default values to get people talking and it worked.https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/the-drake-equation/
Play around with the numbers on your own if you like.
I double the Used Intel NUC i have a 6 node cluster ive been using for 5 years 0 problems. You can find them on ebay for around $100-$200 each. (Avoid the special models, just look for the plain square shaped ones.) Even a 10 year old one has several times the power of a raspberry pi.
Protip: the NUCs have fine grain power control in the bios and they despite being more powerful use the same or less power than a pi if you tweak them down.
