I agree that there are qualitative similarities, so perhaps we should be quantitative about it. Assuming for the sake of argument that the DoW were acting in bad faith and plans to use OpenAI’s services to conduct domestic mass surveillance (legally), how likely do you think it is that OpenAI would be able to prevent this? Given the difficulties I mentioned (indistinguishable from innocuous use, problematic only in aggregate, novel setting, classified, ZDR, no meaningful contractual recourse), it would seem like a big stretch to reach ~50% confidence in my opinion, even with considerable effort on OpenAI’s part.
Perhaps you think it’s unlikely that the DoW is acting in bad faith, but if so, it’s good to be clear about whether this is a load-bearing assumption.
