Yes, this worries me. I expect the government to keep sensitive information available only to those who need to know, and not easily combined with all other sources of information about me.

Yes, if the government gives highly sensitive information about me to private companies and political parties, that worries me. We need frameworks to guard against this.

Yes, especially if the government is using GPT to build enemies lists from this data. In the future, this could be used to target Christians or religious minorities.

Yes, this is an important technology that China uses and exports to other countries that want to monitor and control their citizens.

How worried are you about tech companies working with the government to make sensitive personal data available to GPT systems — at least for government use?

In other words, putting everything known about you by government agencies, private companies, and the internet in one place, and allowing GPT to analyze or connect it all?

1. Are we discussing the topic? Good.
2. Are we going around and around in a fight? Let's stop doing that.
3. Is there some serious wrongdoing or relational injury? Let's address that, probably not in public and certainly not for show.

Worried? This happened years ago with Palantir.

I don't like it, but also know it is inevitable.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
