Sam Altman is upset someone left a recording device in his conference room. I guess he forgot to explicitly opt out of data collection for marketing and training purposes

OpenAI’s math team is sitting in a conference room, looking over today’s latest set of promising leads mined from user prompts. “Sssh! Don’t say the statement of Lemma 7.4 out loud! Someone might be recording us!”

@stabby @slava It is crazy consistent, too. Almost like they are a bunch of sniveling hypocrite windowlickers who should be greeting people at wally world instead of running a shitty business literally no rational human has a use for.

@slava maybe he did, but his company is so used to ignoring that?

@slava He probably forgot to click "Maybe later" one time when he was in a rush.

@slava I assume we all have legitimate interest to watch Sam and other tech billionaires 24/7.

@slava I wonder what would happen if we asked one of those "rogue agents" to research what advice Altman would give someone within the last, oh, 24 hours

@slava also: the device was attached to a TV. Hope it was a LG one 🤣🫣
