Is it hard to interpret running to Russia has the core benefit of not being extradited to the U.S. almost certainly, or at least with higher probability than any other country?

If you consider exposing massive rule breaking of intelligence services "fucking around" instead of suffering massive consequences for the benefit of basically everyone that uses the internet... Sure he fa&fo

Yes but "pledge allegiance to Putin" is needed for becoming a citizen. He was no longer safe anywhere else.

He can't go anywhere that the US has control over which is pretty much everywhere but US enemies

True, but that is part of becoming a whistle blower. Someone had to leak proof of mass surveillance so that we could do something about it.

Julian wasn't a whistle blower as he was a third party. Edward sent a bunch of classified documents to the press

Well actually he was otw to south america iirc when the US revoked his passport stranding him in Russia, so technically they were the American Government's choices.

Well, it's all over for me I guess. Now the NSA will have access to all my questions on how to merge pandas dataframes. Those bastards!

I'm kinda dense, what's the "only one reason for appointing an NSA director to your board"?

Can't read the tweet as Twitter is blocked on Firefox, but my guess would be closer ties with NSA, i.e. NSA can exert more control and monitoring of the data openai collects.

I kindly ask for a replacement. Being honest GPT4o is great for redaction, coding, translation, and some other things. It sucks if you don't have a good technical background. I get this Snowden, but there isn't replacement...
