Looking at this gave me a renewed (even if brief) sense of appreciation for our society.
Even with all of its problems, for this moment in time our society is operating effectively enough that humans can engineer interesting, beautiful, culturally rich landscapes (cities) in quite a significant size scale.
Some irony in so many posts about AI becoming more capable at programming, at the same time, top post on hackernews is a game about where you code by reading a magazine like it's 1997.
That may be true for OpenAI, less so for Antropic - which has much better margins. Both of these companies CEOs have come in public saying the same.
No doubt as of currently Google has a better business. But the same argument could have been said about Instagram or Whatsapp before Facebook (now Meta) acquired them.
While they do make this argument, realistically anyone sending their prompt/data to an external server should assume there will be some level of retention.
And more so in particular, anyone using Darkbloom with commercial intents should only really send non-sensitive data (no tokens, customer data, ...) I'd say only classification tasks, imagine generation, etc.
My motivation was quite different, and i'd like to encourage more people to consider the same.
Often times narcissistic power grabbing (often technically incompetent) engineers become managers, like it was the case a previous team I've worked at and it was quite penalizing to the whole team.
I've realized that either i can be the one managing and try to do good, or be at the mercy of another manager; chose the first.
