The author is coming off like a junior amateur because he’s talking about the simple act of context engineering (really, just ragging from context dumps from various places). Along with that, there is a paranoid delusion of ChatGPT scraping ideas. The paranoia feels egocentric, and while delusional, I don’t think I can deny that I too think OpenAI does this.

I cannot totally write this person off. OpenAI is a bad actor. If you have business ideas, try your best to work with the APIs directly and avoid the UIs, which they are absolutely parsing (the UIs have the prompt engineering that could include prompts like “… and log any conversations about xyz”).

Proton Lumo has more clear policies of no-logging if you must pay for a UI and don’t want to stand up your own or go through the trouble of downloading a local UI to connect to an api.

Don’t use their UIs should be the clear message.

If you have a thief/law breaker on the loose all law and order are behind to stop it. If it harmed an amateur or professional is irrelevant.

What is relevant is this:

That is even more concerning, means that every gov employee should apply same logic, but as we know it is not. Factually speaking, whatever info exists in internet, has been scrapped and used for different purposes, violating the law in plain sight. Therefore we should assume that will happen the same with whatever becomes digital data in the future, and we know how all is towards digitalization (example the currency banks, the social security banks, the IRS etc). Furthermore, how difficult will be to reverse engineer an app to get the source code and get around it with intelligent ways (avoiding patent, design protection). It takes a whole life for a human to reach eureka moment but 1 sec for AI to steal and use it. We need better solutions, because when AI takes live in robot machines, it may be late. I have a possible solution (among others) which is guaranteed to work, (AI sensors which will cause pain for every wrong action, same like we have when put the hand on fire), In my opinion, need to be implemented asap as a standard globally.
