We have really lost the thread WRT our legal system when district court judges have such wide ranging power. I understand that everything can be appealed, but these judges can cause considerable harm.
Ona T. Wang (she/her) ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ona-t-wang-she-her-a1548b3/ ) would have a difficult time getting a job at OpenAI but she is given the full force of US law to direct the company in almost anyway she sees fit.
The wording is quite explcit, and forceful:
Accordingly, OpenAI is NOW DIRECTED to preserve and segregate all output log data that would otherwise be deleted on a going forward basis until further order of the Court (in essence, the output log data that OpenAI has been destroying), whether such data might be deleted at a user’s request or because of “numerous privacy laws and regulations” that might require OpenAI to do so.
Again, I have no idea how to fix this, but it seems broken.
That seems a little apocalyptic. She's are a magistrate judge and is making sure evidence isn't destroyed. After the conclusion of the case they will be able to delete the data. The legal system handles this stuff by allowing you to bring in experts which seems a lot more reasonable than every judge being an expert in technical details AND the law.
