They've gone full mask-off: 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 trust @OpenAI or its products (ChatGPT etc). There is only one reason for appointing an @NSAGov Director to your board. This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth. You have been warned.
🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: OPENAI APPOINTS FORMER NSA HEAD PAUL NAKASONE TO BOARD OpenAI has appointed Paul M. Nakasone, retired US Army general and former NSA head, to its board of directors. Nakasone, who led the NSA from 2018 to 2023, will join OpenAI's Safety and Security Committee. He will help improve AI’s role in cybersecurity by detecting and responding to threats quickly. His appointment follows concerns over safety culture at OpenAI. Source: The Verge

twitter.com/Andreafreedom76/… Congratulation to All you fucking morons who put Ukraine Flags in your profile cuz you're too stupid to figure out you're being lied to again by the War Machine. Russia is now sending hypersonic missiles to Cuba (missiles we can not protect against and missiles even the US military don't possess) along with nuclear submarines!  HURRAY! you're about to get your WW3!

Stunning discovery by @SaulStaniforth. If you’re still defending Sir Keir Starmer for backing NHS privatisation I would greatly appreciate it if you would “unfollow” me.
