No we probably cannot. At least not right now, but thanks to Mister #Trump we will start working on that, won't we? #Nakasone #NSA #boycottUSA #unplugtrump

OpenAI has appointed Paul M. Nakasone,
a retired general of the US Army and a former head of the National Security Agency ( #NSA ),
to its board of directors, the company announced on Thursday.
OpenAI says Nakasone will join its Safety and Security Committee, which was announced in May and is led by CEO Sam Altman, “as a first priority.”
Nakasone will “also contribute to OpenAI’s efforts to better understand how AI can be used to strengthen cybersecurity by quickly detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats.”
#Nakasone was nominated to lead the NSA by former President Donald Trump, and directed the agency from 2018 until February of this year.
Before Nakasone left the NSA, he wrote an op-ed supporting the renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the surveillance program that was ultimately reauthorized by Congress in April.
OpenAI board chair Bret Taylor said in a statement. “General Nakasone’s unparalleled experience in areas like cybersecurity will help guide OpenAI in achieving its mission of ensuring artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.”
Recent departures tied to safety at OpenAI include co-founder and chief scientist Ilya #Sutskever, who played a key role in Sam Altman’s November firing and eventual un-firing,
and Jan #Leike, who said on X that “safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products.”

#Snowden on #Nakasone joining OpenAI board:
"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."
