Sam Altman confronted journalists Kevin Roose and Casey Newton during a New York Times podcast. Altman criticized the NYT's copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, suggesting it undermines user privacy. He claimed that a judge's order compelling OpenAI to provide access to user logs for the lawsuit reflects a violation of user confidentiality. Despite Roose clarifying that he and Newton have no connection to the lawsuit, Altman continued to assert the importance of privacy in AI's future. The exchange highlighted tensions surrounding data usage and user privacy concerns.
The New York Times, one of the great institutions for a long time, is taking a position that we should have to preserve our users' logs even if they're chatting in private mode, even if they've asked us to delete them. And the lawsuit we're having to fight out, but... we think privacy and AI is an extremely important concept to get right for the future.
Well thank you for your views, and I'll just say it must be really hard when someone does something with your data you don't want them to.
