yeah sadly being in this industry for too long I more and more just want to get a log cabin with no internet access...i can't stand the constant ring devices around me, hoping that hackers aren't watching me while I sleep and knowing the firmware is hopelessly outdated and that Opus 5 or whatever has already found 300 vulns (they already hacked 85% of classified DOD systems in all of FIVE HOURS) Geez, taxpayer money well spent to harden our secrets...

i mean, I really want to give parity credit to AI when it's due. We have lots of designers, and honestly, the work is not at parity at what we're seeing internally. People can disagree but that is just my personal experience. Thanks for the feedback though, I do appreciate it. If we have to make it more credible with different colors or fonts I don't really see that as an issue but we'll take a look.

it's just a HN for this particular vertical of AI privacy and security...thanks for the patience, it's our first run at this. no marketing is intended, it's just a (hopefully useful) website to try out some techniques.

yeah exactly, this is totally ungoverned territory and has to be discussed a lot, a lot more...

i get the vibe coding angst but I do think this is different, I mean there are 14 agents scouring real time sources 24/7 to put together condensed, readable content for the average user to make them more alarmed (as they should be) about AI privacy. That's the only goal, just education, if it works. If not, we'll shut it down.

yeah apologies, it's not meant to be repackaging but a 24/7 news analysis to compact relatively recent cyber related incidents to an HN style update, automate by our AI. This is the first run on this, so I appreciate the patience.

Disclosure: I'm the founder of AuraVision, which publishes The Signal (the linked site). Posting because the underlying Northeastern/Consumer Reports study is a significant privacy issue worth a technical discussion here. The site has a product point of view, but the reporting and primary sources stand on their own — happy to link the raw sources or dig into specifics in the thread.

LLMs do match the level of sophistication of the user and the quality of questions they ask. So questions about, how do you improve the level of question? You see the answer in Terry's exchange, both AI and humans are doing an exchange that is thought provoking on both sides for what interesting questions to ask. That is the most startling thing about this -- they are exploring the solution space with the same naivete, to some degree.

Physics, they describe general relativity as a two way street. Space tells mass how to move, and mass tells space how to bend.

Here, Terence tells AI what question to explore, AI tells him what questions to ask next.

The exchange that ensues is just magic to watch.

it's absolutely my bad -- when you have been doing this for 4 years, and a team works incredibly hard to do a trade that makes a lot of sense, seeing comments like i've seen here on this thread just straight up hurts. and again, i simply cannot share certain pieces of information. i would literally go to jail, so it's frustrating to see the stuff that is posted about us (and I'm a YC alum on top of that)

in general, you are telling me to stop but I am telling you guys to stop. you do so much damage to companies with completely uninformed comments than you can possibly realize. if you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk. and yes, there are "facts" that companies cannot discuss in an open format. that's the nature of a regulated business. we do not do cat photo sharing. we hold money and assets for people. think on that.

look, i really do not try to be an ass about this stuff, but the stuff people post is actually just wrong and hurts my business (people on hn can appreciate this) but i can't say anything substantive because we're regulated by the US govt and I can't say anything beyond what I am allowed to.

Does that make sense?
