I've asked multiple OpenAI employees on X that have been posting about the issue whether or not they will be processing bulk unclassified Americans' data or what will they do when asked since I think it is fair to assume that they have or will receive the same ask that was made of Anthropic. No response, yet. The Head of National Security Partnerships at OpenAI seems to be focused on stating that that the NSA is not able to use the contract. Whether or not that is true, it doesn't address the unclassified bulk data processing concern, which is a form mass surveillance of Americans. Also, not great when at least one OpenAI employee has posted that the DoD "does not conduct domestic surveillance" and only issued a correction after quite a backlash by stating that he was only quoting the Under Secretary of Defense.

Isn't OpenAI still under a court order not to delete any data, that is incoming prompts and responses?
> the NSA is not able to use the contract
They already have a "contract" with every FAANG. OpenAI is Microsoft.
