OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Politico last week "that society will face a “coming tidal wave of cybersecurity problems” coming from open-source AI models. He also said that people will “have to just accept some fairly severe cyber incidents from open models, in exchange for the liberty that comes with that.”
WTF?!?!?
...
“No, Mr. Altman. We won’t accept a severe AI cyberattack in exchange for ‘liberty,'” Sanders wrote on X.
Go Bernie. Someone has to stand up to these AI/Tech overlord wannabes.
