"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Will OpenAI send police to your door if you advocate for AI regulation? Nathan Calvin, a lawyer who shapes policies surrounding the technology at Encode AI, claims OpenAI did just that.

“One Tuesday night, as my wife and I sat down for dinner, a sheriff’s deputy knocked on the door to serve me a subpoena from OpenAI,” Calvin writes on X. In addition to subpoenaing the organization he works for, Calvin claims that OpenAI subpoenaed him personally, with the sheriff’s deputy asking for his private messages with California legislators, college students, and former OpenAI employees.

"What on Earth made you think you're allowed to question let alone shape public policy, citizen? This ain't a democracy: policy is for corporations to decide and for you to obey."

Nah man. I would make an entire profanity-ridden essay and send it to the nearest news office, a bunch of rich nerds with a fucking plagiarism machine is NOT intimidating me.

I'll be honest, I was hoping it would be Ed Zitron... just so I could read the brutal 20,000 word response he'd inevitably post next week.

Alas.

Headline is bullshit. The cops were at his door to serve a subpoena, not to arrest or hassle him. The real story is they're trying to chill speech through lawsuits. They don't even have to win, the threat is enough.

Hate that there’s an entire side of 🧵🌐 that supports this.
