39,345 People were killed in traffic accidents last year in the US alone [1]. Not including permanent injury. If humans were replaced by self driving cars at their current accident rate, 34,000 less people a year would die [2].
Even if every US city had Waymos blocking the street for every single disaster, as they did here. I find it extremely unlikely that even the indirect deaths would come close to that number. And that's assuming Waymo learn from this lesson. Which they will.
Except all users can opt out. Am I missing something?
It says here:
> If you are on a ChatGPT Plus, ChatGPT Pro or ChatGPT Free plan on a personal workspace, data sharing is enabled for you by default, however, you can opt out of using the data for training.
Indeed. Click your profile in the top right, click on the settings icon. In Settings, select "Data Controls" (not "privacy") and then there's a setting called "Improve the model for everyone" (not "privacy" or "data sharing") and turn it off.
Personally I feel it's okay but kinda weird. I mean why not call it privacy. Gray pattern, IMHO. For example venice.ai simply doesn't have a privacy setting because they don't use the data from chats. (They do have basic telemetry, and the setting is called "Disable Telemetry Collection").
