<p>Noob question: Isn't there like a panel of  existing case law or amicus-briefs that would speak to the logical and historical stupidity of arguments by the plaintiffs? I mean this is like blaming airbus for hijackings.</p>

<p>Structurally speaking we learn nothing like AI, we don't use vast amounts of information to pick up completely new skills. We also make decisions by using prior knowledge and emotions.The latter part is important, Thinking fast and slow cannot operate in a world of AIs as they stand today unless we are willing to grant them rights — because you have to teach them to make decisions based on all kinds of emotions — which is tricky at best.</p>

<p>Google did make location history private in the maps app(delete on server side) at some point, if I recall correctly everyone can at the least opt in(i may be wrong and it may even be opt out!). I believe out of the exact concerns of warrantless sweep of all location data of all users around a lat long for server side storage by law enforcement.<p>It went under the radar but is a good example of _some_ incremental positive improvement over centralized storage.</p>

<p>Altman, Amodei, Pinchai etc can get together and just put a self imposed ban on themselves and ask the us government to sanction any entity/state attempting to use/release a Recursive Self improving model until the risks are well understood.<p>This does not mean they can't keep developing it. But it would mean they do not release them to the general public or the public domain. The US government can continue to use and fund these models that are more powerful and use them in situations they understand and a restricted setting. The pentagon has a larger budget than any VC.<p>Remove the profit motive on self improving recursive models gained from retail/commercial use!</p>

<p>Sure, but YC can enforce it if they want to. VC after all is a private body governed by private individuals, they can make moral choices. VCs could even support this by offering terms to offset the costs. 
I cannot believe that a company cannot be profitable but at the same time not build for at least some better privacy guarantees.</p>

<p>Are you guys feeling all high and mighty doing all these predictions?  I think the money they are spending on trying to inform policy could be better spent on getting all major labs together with the government, and making sure that<p>1. At least 10% of your net spend is on safety and harm mitigation before you accelerate yourselves into doing real harm to real people tomorrow.<p>2. Pause all AI enhancement until a proper mechanistic study can be done by a working group funded by you all to understand how AI model Safety can be enforced by something less lame than a Constitution/Spec.</p>

<p>Perhaps its time that YC mentioned explicitly that if they are going to fund a company which holds specific PII data(i would include precise location history to start with) they would have to guarantee:<p>1. An erase-me feature if they gained over say some X unique/active users.<p>2. Disclose to their best legal abilities on warrants served in the countries that allow such disclosure. Allow for strong whistle blower protection if warrantless wiretapping becomes a thing.</p>

<p>Congrats on the launch. I had a vague idea about personalized medication, did not know it was the VC style scaling of 10m$->100m$ ARR business!<p>There are some messages here complaining about the website being claude(ish). I know HN has people that care about this. They should. Mostly they would be right. But i don't see it being relevant here.  Complaining about this business's website is like fluid-mechanics engineers at NASA complaining about friction dynamics on office floor-carpeting instead of rockets.</p>

<p>The reason why people(or ai agents) have not been able to systematically destroy bad research in fields where fraud is so rampant is because they data are not published or easily accessible without emailing the author and asking them.<p>I sincerely hope that any self respectful journal that publishes papers should have a minimum bar: submit the data on a public link with no paywall or blockers and feature the link prominently on your paper.</p>

<p>I think for voice-ai every one builds their own harness, and thats why there isn't a common one out there. Also if you are a serious company that has a llm in your production loop, you would have to build an in house thing because its so critical to your product. Its like performance-engineering, most performance engineer work is done in house and it varies wildly. Another reason is that because voice quality is a vibe measure(intonition, pitch, human variation), its impossible to make the whole thing deterministic.<p>I use pi and built a harness for just an llm that calls a bunch of tools. That got me 50% of the way and it would be fast. Then build it for STT and TTS, this will be slower but it will get you far. There are a bunch of tools out there for building basic harnesses.</p>
