If this were legit then twilio would offer it already. People in messaging/b2c apps have been asking for it for a decade and the best weve managed is whatsapp. Kind of weirded out that this made it into YC.

Im a big fan of divesting in these scenarios but i dont know how that would help in this scenario specifically. His current role and his previous ownership made the site a target, but it would be a target regardless of who owns it currently.

It is the mix of high-security high-visibility national impact with organizations that are completely unequipped to operate in that arena.

> it would be a target regardless of who owns it currently.

The commonality of attacks makes it more important to eliminate distracting dependencies for critical leaders. Not less.

There is a reason top security clearances have requirements no normal organization could make on their employers. Lack of loose vectors is even more important for leaders.

Good communication for who?

Ooof. Thats a statement.

Do you think roads are somehow commercial property?

It is unfortunate that they can't think for themselves during the training process itself. The think-mode might help in training too if used correctly.

They're not trained on a raw feed of the internet. They are given curated and synthetic data. The curation and synthesis of new data is done by existing LLMs.

Even if you're given the perfect textbook to read, it still helps you to take notes. Notes serve multiple purposes -- they help add clarity where it is needed, and more importantly, they help integrate new info (the current batch) with prior info (previous batches).

OK, but, as far as I know, there isn't a technology to allow that, yet. LLMs don't work like human brains.

Huh. The tech is what you make it. With your limiting logic, you would've said the same thing for thinking models at inference time too. There is nothing logically, mathematically, or physically prohibiting using thinking at training time too.

yeah, theres a lot of trash assumptions going on here.

This thing is ripe for a lawsuit and has terrible methodology as far as I can tell.

On what grounds is there a lawsuit? Hasn't scraping been classified as legal?

Calling someone’s apartment an opium den is potentially libel, and if it results in a material financial impact, you’ve got a lawsuit.

Is it someone's apartment or Airbnb's apartment?

classifying people's businesses as an "opium den" using a shitty LLM prompt seems like a pretty good way to piss some people off.

I don't necessarily agree with labeling them drug dens. But certainly the hosts showed zero or negative effort in keeping the room clean and suitable to rent. They do deserve some shaming.

Cybersecurity has always been proof of work. Fuck, most of software development is proof of work by that logic. Thats why many attacks originate from countries were the cost of living is a fraction of the COL in the United States. They can throw more people at the problem because its cheaper to do so.

But I don't really get the hype, we can fix all the vulnerabilities in the world but people are still going to pick up parking-lot-USBs and enter their credentials into phishing sites.
