Remember, there is an attack vector for these LLMs. They record everything you do, and when the police come or a a civil case comes, whatever it is, they dump your information, they use your information, they're looking at your information. Sam Waltman said this. Now, what if Brave took their same privacy approach to browsing where They remove ads, they remove cookies, they they make your searches private, all that good stuff.

And that's their commitment. I think they even have a VPN built in or you can pay like 10 bucks a year. It's de minimis. I think they should just do 100% VPN so they don't even know where you're coming from unless you want to disclose, you know, your city maybe. Um, and then make all your AI absolutely anonymous.

And this is where I think Apple should buy Brave and DuckDuckGo. Maybe perplexity. This week in startups is brought to you by Public. You take investing seriously, Public does too. Build a multi-asset portfolio and earn an industry-leading 4.1% APY on your cash with no fees or minimums.
