Comment on OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuit
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoWe specifically have an enterprise contract (in the EU), checked by our lawyers, that says they can’t store our data or use it for training.
This decision goes against that contract.

so they never should have persisted that data to begin with, right? and if they didn’t persist it, they wouldn’t need to retain it

I mean, it’s more complicated than that.
Of course, data is persisted somewhere, in a transient fashion, for the purpose of computation.
And then promptly deleted or otherwise garbage collected in some manner.
A court order forcing them to no longer garbage, collect or delete data used for processing is a problem.

I think it’s debatable whether storing in volatile memory is persisting, but ok. And by debatable I mean depends on what is happening exactly.
what, are they going to do memory dumps before every free() call?

I mean at this point you’re just being intentionally obtuse no? You are correct of course, volatile memory if you consider it from a system point of view would be pretty asinine to try and store.
However, we’re not really looking at this from a system’s view are we? Clearly you ignored all the other examples I provided just to latch on to the memory argument. There are many other ways that this data could be stored in a transient fashion.
