Like, what I saw at social media companies in the past, when they had kind of a similarly described threshold for going to authorities, was it typically meant someone needed to mention, like, I plan to hurt this person on this date at this location with this weapon.
Or some sort of iteration of those, but that level of specificity was typically what was required.
Some employees at OpenAI felt like there were judgment calls that law enforcement authorities should be making rather than people at OpenAI.
And so the question was, you know, does this constitute an imminent threat?
Like, a certain employee might not think so, but then some people were like—
You know, maybe are we leaning too far over our skis here?
Like a law enforcement person who has more information about this person might make a different call.
And so like enough of these things were coming up and enough employees were disagreeing on like should we go to authorities or not that they felt like they needed to sit down.
So during this meeting, employees start debating this user who appeared to be a high schooler in Texas.
He uploaded a map of the layout of his school, as well as photos of cheerleaders whom he said he wanted to imagine killing, along with their boyfriends.
And the maps were relevant because he would ask ChatGPT how he should enter the school, or where he should go, or which victims he would encounter, when he should open fire.
How would ChatGPT respond?
So one of the things that really stuck with people in the meeting was that ChatGPT remembered the names of the classmates he said he wanted to imagine killing.
ChatGPT would advise the teen on where he would enter and exit the building based on the layout he'd uploaded and what he could say to cops when they arrived.
So some of the employees found this one extremely alarming because of the specificity of his interest.
I think often with these sorts of conversations at OpenAI, the question is around privacy.
So the company really wants to prioritize the privacy of its users who are having like very intimate personal conversations with ChatGPT.
They're sharing a lot more medical stuff.
They're sharing a lot more of their deepest, darkest secrets.
I know people who put entire text message exchanges into ChatGPT to have ChatGPT kind of gut check their emotional response to it.
