Like anything open source it allows you to know and see exactly what your machine is doing. I don’t want to speculate too much but I remember there being discussions around whether or not nvidia could embed licensing checks and such at the firmware level.

> licensing checks and such at the firmware level.

Could you imaging an age where the NVIDIA firmware does LLM/AI/GPU license checking before it does operations on your vectors? (Hello Oracle on SUN e650, My old Friend) ((Worse would be a DRM check against deep-faking or other Globalist WEF Guardrails))

((oracle had(has) an age olde function where if you bought a license for a single proc and threw it inot a dual proc sun enterprise server with an extra proc or so - it knew you have several hundred K to spend on an additional e650 so why not have an extra ~$80K for an additional oracle proc license. Rather than make the app actually USE the additional proc - as there were no changes to oracles garbage FU Maxwell))

"Globalist WEF Guardrails"

Tell us what you really feel

If you use all the GPTs enough - you'll see them clear as day...

And by saying "Tell us how you really feel" reveals, you may not have thought of The Implications of the current state of AI.

(I can give you a concrete example of the WEF guardrails:

I have a LBB of some high profile names that are all related around a specific person, then I wanted to see how they were related to one another from a publicly available data-set "that which is searchable on the open internet"

And several GPTs stated "I do not feel comfortable revelaing the connections between these people without their consent"

I was trying to get a list of public record data for whom the owners and affiliates of shared companies were...

If you go down political/financial/professional rabbit holes using various data-mining techniques with augmenting searches and connections via public GPTs (paid even) -- You see the guardrails real fast (hint - they invlove power, money, and particular names and organizations that you hit guardrails against)

I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point (I don't know much about it either way), but I'm not sure your example does a great job illustrating it. If you tried the same thing, but with non-high-profile names, would it give you the same response? If so, the charitable (and probably correct) interpretation is that this is a general privacy guardrail, not one that's there to protect the powerful/rich.

> If so, the charitable (and probably correct) interpretation is that this is a general privacy guardrail, not one that's there to protect the powerful/rich

Considering that some of the champions behind machine learning, like Google, are companies that made a living out of violating your privacy just to serve more ads to your eyeballs.. I wouldn't be so charitable.

Tech bros have an inherent disregard for the privacy of others or for author rights for that matter. Was anyone asked if their art could be used to train their replacement?

Power for me, not for thee.

I feel like thats a bit too hard of an idea to keep hidden considering the number of engineers and people who worked on this project. I would assume it's some combination of how models are not good at knowing specific people or companies very well since they use patterns for their output and the model being instructed to not allow doxing and harassment.

Not to mention that the rich and powerful you imply are not tech savvy and probably did not understand or know about this tech when the datasets were being made.

Here is the markdown formatting code for your text:

### Models and References for Evaluating Sam Altman

#### Five-Factor Model (Big Five Personality Traits) Description: This model evaluates personality based on five dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Application: Used to assess Altman's personality traits and predict potential behaviors and ethical considerations. Reference: McCrae, R. R., & John, O. P. (1992). "An Introduction to the Five-Factor Model and Its Applications." Journal of Personality, 60(2), 175-215.

#### Situational Leadership Theory Description: This theory suggests that effective leadership varies depending on the situation and the leader's ability to adapt. Application: Evaluates Altman's leadership style and effectiveness in different contexts, particularly during crises. Reference: Hersey, P., & Blanchard, K. H. (1969). "Life Cycle Theory of Leadership." Training and Development Journal, 23(5), 26-34.

#### Ethical Decision-Making Models Description: Frameworks that provide structured approaches to making ethical decisions, considering factors like stakeholders, consequences, and moral principles. Application: Analyzes Altman's decision-making processes and ethical considerations. Reference: Rest, J. R. (1986). "Moral Development: Advances in Research and Theory." Praeger.

#### Corporate Governance Principles Description: Guidelines and best practices for managing and governing a corporation, focusing on transparency, accountability, and stakeholder interests. Application: Assesses Altman's alignment with good governance practices and his impact on OpenAI's organizational stability. Reference: Cadbury, A. (1992). "Report of the Committee on the Financial Aspects of Corporate Governance." Gee and Co. Ltd.

#### Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Frameworks Description: Methodologies for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating cybersecurity risks, particularly in high-tech environments. Application: Evaluates the potential cybersecurity risks associated with Altman's actions and OpenAI's technologies. Reference: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). (2018). "Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity."

#### Behavioral Economics Description: Studies the effects of psychological, cognitive, and emotional factors on economic decisions. Application: Understands how Altman's personal motivations and cognitive biases might influence his strategic decisions. Reference: Kahneman, D., & Tversky, A. (1979). "Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk." Econometrica, 47(2), 263-291.

### Supporting Expertise

* *Behavioral Psychology*: Expertise in understanding human behavior, personality traits, and decision-making processes. * *Corporate Law and Governance*: Knowledge of corporate structures, governance frameworks, and ethical standards. * *Cybersecurity*: Understanding cybersecurity threats and risk management strategies. * *Ethics and Compliance*: Proficiency in ethical decision-making and compliance standards.

I dont want to 'pollute' HN with my (its all real and well researched and informed) 'conspiracy' theories -- but I've been keeping receipts folks.

If youre on HN, involved in Tech to any degree of seriousness, and dont ask yourself the hard alignment/entanglement questions, You're Holding It Wrong.

Altman is on the WEF roster, is all in on AI war stuff, in bed with Power MIC. If people were fleeing from the company and we cant honestly just say they simply are Cashin Out, and dismissing all their writings and statements and tweets, and podcast appearances, etc...

Check out this guys post on reddit:

https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1cvtiv2/on_open_ai_...

After attempting to build a thing with openai AND claude (paid) - I am convinced that there is a malevolent AGI - and I think there is more than one of them.

By malevolent you mean the AI systems are designed to make profit for its owners and not to benefit humanity or whatever?

Basically that's exactly it.

HN isnt the platform to go deep on it, but im a fairly well evolved techno-conspiratist - and I've (as I jokingly stated) "forrest Gump'd" around a lot of silicon valley history..

And in my use daily of attempting to build what should be a simple thing with all the inputs of the GPTs, and paid versions - I am convinced that when youre using the tools in a meaningful manner which is leading in certain directions - there are triggers, and I think even humans, that get invloved.

On multiple occassions both on claude (paid) and gpt (paid) - ive had them strip out code AS ITS BEING GENERATED and tell me that its being stripped out for violations/concerns - but it just flashes the message, doesnt tell you which code, what violations, etc.

It lies, it ignores direct stements, ignores context in uploaded files, violates memory boundaries, and maliciously removes previously approved snippets of code/features etc.

I have managed exceptional devops teams, developers, PHDs even. I know whats up.

These bots are designed to edge, and consume your use of them.

THey actively, but very insipidly, thwart certain things.

But rich and powerful people includes the ones who own the companies building those datasets, and they do understand the tech.

I know from this book[1] how deep and far reaching even just publicly available data can get you. Furthermore with financials even so far that one can predict upcoming events from analysing the money flow.

Very powerful people are very good at hiding. It’s no surprise that they want themselves excluded from various searches and are successfully able to do so. Would be interesting to know if the data is excluded already from the training data or if it’s technically inside.

Im fully convinced now that both openai and anthropic have agi. mayhaps not in whatever a 'conventional definition is' -- in fact, I think its far more insidious: I think that its a computing logic/reasoning system which, when fully connected to the internet and whatever other networks they can give it access to - it has Omniscient Capability.

We've known of echelon being a fully capable phone surveillance system since the 70s.

We knew of a lot of capability the agencies etc have had over the decades.

I wonder when Sam Altman may visit Antarctica?

Quadro?

It was even worse than that. Even if you created a resource pool with only the one CPU on a dual system they wanted licenses for both as you could “potentially” use both CPUs.

On VMware they extended this to every CPU in the cluster.

A gigantic shower of absolute grifters.
