  • You’re getting down-voted, but, yes, this change only really affects user experience.

    I don’t know why anyone would think that what the LLM can access for context during your session is a limiting factor for what OpenAI has access to.

    If this change freaks you out, the time for you to be freaked out about history was the moment they started storing it.

    That is the difference, but it’s a pretty minimal difference. Open AI hardly needs to give the LLM access to your conversations during your session to access your conversations.

    In fact, I don’t see any direct benefit to OpenAI with this change. All it does is (probably) improve its answers to the user during a session.

    I’m not going to defend OpenAI in general, but that difference is meaningless outside of how the LLM interacts with you.

    If data privacy is your focus, it doesn’t matter that the LLM has access to it during your session to modify how it reacts to you. They don’t need the LLM at all to use that history.

    This isn’t an “I’m out” type of change for privacy. If it is, you missed your stop when they started keeping a history.












  • And how do you think that’s going to go when suddenly the creator needs to compete with massive corps?

    The reason copyright exists is for the same reason patents do: to protect the little guy.

    Just because corporations abuse it doesn’t mean we throw it out.

    It shouldn’t be long, but it sure should be longer than 5 years.

    Or maybe 5 years unless it’s an individual.

    Edit - think logically. You think the corps are winning now with the current state of copyright? They won’t NEED to own everything without copyright and patent laws. They’ll just be able to make profit off your work without passing any of it to the creator.
