So while this is obviously bad, did any of you actually think for a moment that this was stopping anything? If the military wants to use ChatGPT, they're going to find a way whether or not OpenAI likes it. In their minds they may as well get paid for it.

    You mean the military with access to a massive trove of illegal surveillance (aka training data), and billions of dollars in dark money to spend, that is always on the bleeding edge of technological advancement?

    That military? Yeah, they've definitely been in on this one for a while.

    I can see them having their own GPT, using the model and their own data. Not using the tool to send secret info ‘out’ and back in to their own system.

    I can see the CIA flooding foreign countries with fake news during elections. All automated! It really was inevitable.
