Key Quotes:

  • “People don’t really care about privacy like if we’re just being honest like the majority of people aren’t really thinking about data privacy.”
  • “It’s absolutely horrifying the amount of data that people are putting in the the greatest example was Samsung where Samsung’s people were like oh hey we could use this to uh to potentially optimize our chips and so go put in a bunch of data of your chips into chat GPT and ask it questions and kind of interact with it.”
