The reason you wouldn't say something to someone is because you are afraid of the power that you give people along with that knowledge.

Your family is in a a position of power, which is why it can be scary to share information with them. People at OpenAI are also at a position of power, but people who use their services seem to forget that, since they're talking to them through a computer that automatically responds.

tldr: power (or if you want, impact) is the linear dimension, likelihood adds a second dimension to the plane of trust.

In practice, likelyhood directly correlates with power. Perhaps there is causation (power corrupts?)

Some people are more responsible than others.

For example, one's spouse typically has a lot of power, but hopefully a low likelihood in practice.

I need data on that. I haven't seen that in practice.
