To all my new friends: I never expected things to go this far, even though I’m ultimately glad they did I still have nothing personally against Kelshi. My issues have always been with the actions of certain employees, not with the company as a whole. I’ve now handed over all the data and information I acquired to journalists, and I’m going to let them do their jobs For the past 18 months, I’ve been working with my cofounder, and team, on an AI neo-lab. We recently made a major breakthrough in inference, and we will most likely be going live before the end of the year That is where essentially all of my autistic focus has been, and where it will continue to be for the foreseeable future I have no interest in becoming an influencer. I’ll be refusing any further interviews, paid partnerships, or similar opportunities. None of this was ever about money, and I don’t want it to become about money now If there is one thing worth taking away from this story, it is this: be kind to one another I’ve gone through enough in life to learn the importance of keeping an open mind. Don’t judge someone because of their job, their social class, where they come from, or anything else they may not fully control. Judge people by what they stand for and by their actions. In the end, those are among the few things we truly have control over I’ve also been very lucky in my life, and I think it’s important to recognize that. Talent and hard work matter, but luck matters too Better to be lucky than good So I intend to keep being lucky Sincerely, Beni

Receiving an interesting ratio of death threats and VC outreach over this now, so should probably clarify: We at @Auki do not actually track any person. In this visualization we show how manage to derive the data we actually track: what part of the shelf receives attention. It's like tracking how many cars cross a bridge without tracking which car it was or who was driving. The reason we do this is to allow the stores to better optimize their shelf space. Space is first or second biggest cost for every retailer, so optimizing the use of space is what allows them to reduce prices for the consumer - something they're all under intense pressure to do. We do not store any data at all about the shopper, and have no plans to. Auki's tech will not be used to profile you, but it will make your groceries cheaper and your store visits faster. We have always been champions of privacy, and that's not going to change. Peace.

Got a call from an FBI agent about @vaultaire_app last week. They told me they found someone using the app. They suspected he used Capture to photograph classified material. When they asked him to open his vault, they believe he may have triggered a duress vault and wiped everything. They called me hoping I could help recover or access it. I explained that I simply couldn’t. Vaultaire was deliberately designed without a master key, backdoor, or recovery mechanism. I have no way to access a user’s vault. I can’t even tell whether he triggered the duress vault. There are no breadcrumbs for me to follow. The agent was fuming. He essentially asked: why would you build an app like this? I told him I believe in the right to individual privacy. I can’t stop someone from committing a crime. But that shouldn’t require everyone else to give up their privacy. He asked me to come to the field office to explain more. I told him to call my lawyer. Never heard back. I obviously can’t verify what happened on the device or comment beyond what I was told. But that was a pretty surreal way to have Vaultaire’s security model tested in the real world. Was debating sharing this, but my lawyer says it’s ok 😬

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.
