So, it seems they're openly admitting that OpenAI is a surveillance mechanism used at the discretion of the US gov.

I'm pretty sure they can just prompt any convo in the background and ask "is this conversation sensitive ?" and the model can answer without this being added to the context of the convo.

Such a hot topic these days: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/chatgpt-and-the-tumbler...

This is -the- question.

"Is this someone important enough to spy on?"

One hopes the CIA/Secret service would be willing to provide the human to do the reviewing but sadly I've worked for European telco's and I know better.
