254 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 18 Feb \ on: how openai, the US government and persona built an identity surveillance machine privacy

This is the kind of stuff I think about when bitcoiner's are like:

I just gave them my
  1. email
  2. full name
  3. date of birth
  4. country of residence
  5. IP address (implicitly)
What could they possibly learn from that?

I'm like my brehs. Come onnnnnn.

A startup adjacent to Pleb Lab's office started doing this AI-powered ID stuff in '23. They had a poster of The Eye of Sauron on the wall. They've since quadrupled in size and moved up a few floors in the building.

Any chance this post is gonna make the cut on Stacker News Live? I can't imagine I'm the only person interested in hearing you guys discus this.

OK, I single handedly brought it up to the top 5 for the week (if I'm reading that right). While it's currently relit, I figure if other people actually agree with me, it will continue to rise. Otherwise, jasonb's pick might not be worthy.

I am kind of curious if this one might get downzapped though for reasons that have nothing to do with this post's take on privacy (or the UI of the website, which is also why I personally think it's so interesting).

I'll take it as one of my picks today regardless.
