@GaryMarcus You can still argue that your private data accessed via RAG might be used for as targeting, but I think the fact that new public models won’t be trained on your private data matters a lot

@GaryMarcus Right, but that’s not the same thing as “Sam Altman has acknowledged wanting to train on everyone's personal documents (Word files, email etc)”

The word “train” is key here

@GaryMarcus I think you may have misinterpreted that - it’s from this podcast interview, but the segment you quote here doesn’t look to me like it’s about training - it sounds more like a description of RAG or tool use
