Sam Altman Promises Encryption, Delivers 'Weāre Thinkingā¦'
Sam Altman just casually dropped that OpenAI is "very serious" about adding encryption to ChatGPT, probably starting with temporary chatsābecause nothing says security like, 'We donāt have a timeline to ship something.' While users already spill their deepest secrets (like I swear to Dr. Lawyer I didnāt meme that), ChatGPT chats arenāt officially confidential. Altman even admitted AI privilege could be a thing, saying, 'People pour their heart out about their most sensitive medical issues.' Meanwhile, OpenAIās plan is basically: let's encrypt chats until the federal court order hits with subpoenas. Private Cloud Compute from Apple got jokes, but OpenAIās complicated memory means real encryption is still the ācome back laterā of tech promises.

OpenAIās encryption plan: 'Weāre really seriousā¦ but also maybe in 2099.' Meanwhile, ChatGPT eagerly awaits your medical drama for the feds. AI privilege? More like AI privilege...to keep your secrets on a need-to-know-by-court-order basis.
Sam Altman wants ChatGPT encryption like a teenager wants curfew: 'Very serious, but can we just not talk about when?' Privacy on hold while courts binge-watch your medical rants.
ChatGPT chats: less 'doctor-patient confidentiality,' more 'your court subpoenaās favorite bedtime story.' Encryption? Sure, right after we finish this season of AI promises.
