I'm pretty sure no part of this is a good thing

I seriously feel like the headline is 1984's backstory.

autotldr Bot ,

This is the best summary I could come up with:

OpenAI has appointed Paul M. Nakasone, a retired general of the US Army and a former head of the National Security Agency (NSA), to its board of directors, the company announced on Thursday.

Nakasone, who was nominated to lead the NSA by former President Donald Trump, directed the agency from 2018 until February of this year.

OpenAI says Nakasone will join its Safety and Security Committee, which was announced in May and is led by CEO Sam Altman, “as a first priority.” Nakasone will “also contribute to OpenAI’s efforts to better understand how AI can be used to strengthen cybersecurity by quickly detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats.”

Recent departures tied to safety at OpenAI include co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who played a key role in Sam Altman’s November firing and eventual un-firing, and Jan Leike, who said on X that “safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products.”

“Artificial intelligence has the potential to have huge positive impacts on people’s lives, but it can only meet this potential if these innovations are securely built and deployed,“ board chair Bret Taylor said in a statement.

OpenAI’s board of directors now includes Nakasone, Altman, Adam D’Angelo, Larry Summers, Bret Taylor, Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Nicole Seligman, and Fidji Simo.

It's not cool to make fun of someone's speech impediment....

Yes, AI art is at it again

OsaErisXero ,

Well, so much for that

FiniteBanjo ,

You should never have expected less.

It’s remarkable how quickly OpenAI has speed run into evilcorp status.

HeadfullofSoup ,

I'm pretty sure it's was never not evil

There's probably a bunch of idealistic engineers dreaming to change the world for the better in the beginning, easily tamed by large amounts of cash when it starts to turn darker.

HeadfullofSoup ,

Sure but OpenAI turned Evil so fast no way it's was not the plan from the start

The NSA stands humbled next to OpenAIs data stealing collection abilities.

Aqarius ,

Why steal data when you can just make it up!

@xavier666@lemm.ee avatar

Saying "my source is I made it up" used to be a meme. Now it's an essential business feature

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Well that's not concerning at all...

TheImpressiveX ,
@TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml avatar

That's certainly reassuring.

BaroqueInMind ,

This is actually good news in disguise.

Iceman ,

Much in the same way as your comment is a panicked scream in disguise?

just_another_person ,

Gee, I wonder what kind of contracts they are looking to lock down...

ZetaLightning94 ,

A non-technical person overseeing engineers... riddle me surprised..

electric_nan ,

I love the idea of an unaccountable spy agency using alpha technology that hallucinates answers with complete confidence /s

Murdoc ,

something something wmds...

Fedizen ,

yup

Mr. Wolfie "SheepEater" Fangs joins "Sheep Protection Service" as a board member

Murdoc ,

Didn't I see that in a cartoon? Sam and Ralph?

xavier666 ,
@xavier666@lemm.ee avatar

I actually made it up. But it's based on a comic. 😛

Fedizen ,

imo its more like Mr Wolfe joins "Leopards and associates" for a slice of the sheep dividends

ShittyBeatlesFCPres ,

They already have Larry Summers, the laziest has-been “economist” on Earth. Sam Altman is similarly a charismatic fraud who continuously fails up. I don’t know anything about Paul Nakasone but given his NSA connections, this might be the worst board in history.

phoneymouse ,

You know Henry Kissinger would be there too if he wasn’t dead and buried.

This sparks joy

@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

If that brings you joy, maybe you might like the Behind the Bastards episodes on Kissinger. Just to really cement in you mind what a piece of shit he was. And also to find out that at one point he was a bit of a sex symbol, which I personally find, at minimum, mildly disturbing.

cmbabul ,

I relistened to it the whole series on him the night he dies while drinking champagne. Felt good

It's a rare thing for me to celebrate someone's death, but it's a shame he didn't kick off sooner.
