Hasn't published anything in a year and a half. Hasn't posted on socials in over a year.

It doesn't have to, sure, maybe, but what indication do you see that the owners of these companies have any future in mind other than one in which they are in control of the majority of the wealth and power? These are private companies, not publicly owned infrastructure.

We need a legal structure to make companies liable for the actions of the agents they've made.

> I consider OpenAI to be as economically motivated as any other actor in this space and playing around with user data like that would destroy their business.

It's a gamble that this would be overlooked compared to the reputation they build for solving the thing
