The Spin

As the longest-serving leader of US Cyber Command, Gen. Nakasone will use his national security expertise to help safeguard American AI so developers can safely distribute it to consumers. AI has the potential to benefit the world, but only if it's free from the prying eyes of bad actors.

Paul Nakasone should not be praised in any way whatsoever. He's the one who oversaw the NSA's illegal mass surveillance of millions of Americans, including by outsourcing its spy tactics to UK intelligence agencies to circumvent US law. No one should Trusttrust OpenAI after this decision.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 30% chance that OpenAI will change its mission statement before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
