Former head of NSA joins OpenAI board

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.

Nakasone, who was nominated to lead the NSA by former President Donald Trump, 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 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.”

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.”

“Artificial intelligence has the potential to have huge positive impacts on people’s lives, but it can only meet this potential if these innovations are securely built and deployed,“ 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.”

OpenAI’s board of directors now includes Nakasone, Altman, Adam D’Angelo, Larry Summers, Bret Taylor, Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Nicole Seligman, and Fidji Simo. Microsoft’s Dee Templeton also has a non-voting observer seat.

I mean they already keep logs of every chat upto 30 days (From what I understand), and it's not like they're not gonna report anything suspicious to the police anyways.

Most big companies have CIA, NSA, FBI at the very top levels.
Even companies like Pepsi, one of the main C levels is CIA.
This is how our 'free' country works.
Now Apple ties into OpenAI through Microsoft. I'm sure 'Hey Siri' is the only time it makes a connection.

This makes me paranoid. Especially with Apple integrating ChatGPT into their IOS 18. I have an iPhone because of their security features, but I am thinking I may need to switch now...

And now ChatGPT will be the new AI power spyware - not that it wasn't already but what a way to fuck up a great product.

Well it's good that at last these news about the AI integration made you question your choices. In reality no mainstream mobile operating system is secure (especially if you're faced against well funded entities like government agencies and such) as the manufacturers have no incentive to focus on such details. Apple has a proven history of co-operating with both US and foreign LE agencies by e.g. sharing push notification data with them. 

That being said there's nothing wrong with using Apple devices as daily drivers, but you definitely shouldn't use them for any activities you're not ready to possibly share with the feds. I'd actually advice completely avoiding utilizing mobile phones in whatever you do as mobile security/privacy is way harder than doing the same on laptops & desktops.
If the Gods are fucking you, you find a way to fuck them back.

It's funny because actually, Pizza places around Washington DC and Virginia would see a crazy surge in sales when there's some war or special operation going on and they have to deliver bus-loads of pizzas to the White House or the Pentagon.
