I am not an Open AI stan, but this needs to be responded to.

The first principle of information security is that all systems can be compromised and the only way to secure data is to not retain it.

This is like saying "well I know they didn't want to go sky diving but we forced them to go sky diving and they died because they had a stroke mid air, it's their fault they died.".

Anyone who makes promises about data security is at best incompetent and at worst dishonest.

Shouldn't that be "at best dishonest and at worst incompetent"?

I mean, would you rather be a competent person telling a lie or an incompetent person believing you're competent?

An incompetent but honest person is more likely to accept correction and respond to feedback generally.
