If there's one thing I've learned about Sam Altman it's that he's a shrewd political manipulator and every public move is in service of a hidden agenda[1]. What is it here?

- Is it part of a slow process of eroding public expectations of data privacy while blaming it on an external actor?

- Is it to undermine trust in traditional media, in an effort to increase dependence on AI companies as a source of truth?

- Is something else I'm not seeing?

I'm guessing it's all three of these?

[1] Those emails that came up in the suit with Elon Musk, followed by his eventual complete takeover of OpenAI, and the elaborate process of getting himself installed as chairman of the Reddit board to get the original founders back in control are prominent examples.
