Quite the opposite. He's saying that OpenAI is a tool of the American surveillance state. I don't even really disagree with that.
Edward Snowden saying it while under the protection of the Russian government makes me look for ulterior motives. That's how we're supposed to treat disinformation, isn't it?
- fooker 2y agoIf you don't disagree with that, what do you disagree wih here? Of course criticizing the US is the ulterior motive here, doesn't make the criticism false.
- Smeevy 2y agoI disagree with the idea that I'm supposed to take Snowden seriously when he is in a compromised and dangerous position. It undermines his integrity, which he's obviously trading on.
- fooker 2y agoWhether a statement is factual doesn't depend on where it is coming from.
- wumeow 2y agoBut the probability that a statement is factual does.
- fooker 2y agoThis is about OpenAI getting former NSA chief on its board. There's no probability involved here.
- wumeow 2y agoNo, this is about what Snowden thinks the consequences of this appointment will be. At least, that’s the charitable reading of the tweet. Really this is just fear-mongering hyperbole.
