Ex-Palantir CISO Dane Stuckey Joins OpenAI To Lead Cybersecurity

wiredmikey shares a report from SecurityWeek: Dane Stuckey, the former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of big data analytics and AI firm Palantir, has joined OpenAI CISO. Stuckey served in senior security roles at Palantir for more than ten years, including 6 plus years as the company's CISO. In his new role, Stuckey said he would be working alongside Matt Knight, Head of Security at OpenAI. "Security is germane to OpenAI's mission," said Stuckey in a post on X. "It is critical we meet the highest standards for compliance, trust, and security to protect hundreds of millions of users of our products, enable democratic institutions to maximally benefit from these technologies, and drive the development of safe AGI for the world."

"I am so excited for this next chapter, and can't wait to help secure a future where AI benefits us all," Stuckey added.

I have looked deep into the palantir

For those who don't know what Palantir is

[rsilvergun]

it's a huge information warehouse available only to the ultra wealthy they can use to do background checks on us plebs so we can't rip them off as often. Also it gives them access to dirt on any up and coming rivals that haven't made it into the big boys club yet.

So just like Microsoft, Google, Facebook and all the others.

You just described the entire corporate surveillance economy.

Not exactly

[rsilvergun]

You can buy all the data that Google and Facebook have if you're willing to put up enough money. Palantir isn't like that. You need to be a member of the actual ruling class before you'll be invited to access the data.

Like George Carlin used to say it's a big club and you ain't in it.

Kinda?

Social media analytics and intelligence, their biggest customer is the US Government.

It's more like pin-pointing where people in certain organizations are on a map based on their digital activity.
Y'know, for good. (drone strikes, probably)

Dude worked for someone now works for someone else

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

and posts PR boilerplate about his new employer.

Exiting stuff.

Nope

Something about a former executive of Palantir getting involed that just does not sit well with me

Re:

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

Something about Microsoft getting involved to the tune of $10bn does not sit well with me either.

There's a lot about OpenAI that doesn't sit well. A former exec from a disgusting company joining OpenAI is just another case of disgusting companies associated with OpenAI.

Not really the same, Palantir is selling the Israeli government to help spy on people and kill them. Peter Thiel apparently wants to help them fine tune their AI-based mass murder software named "Lavender" so they can wash the world clean of Arabs
