donclarkon Why I Resigned From The Anthropic Board

"The main reason I resigned is that it became increasingly complicated over time for me to simultaneously be (a) an AI governance grantmaker at Open Philanthropy (my day job), where we support a wide variety of organizations including some who work on US AI policy, and (b) a Board member at a US-based frontier AI company (though I’ve never held any Anthropic equity)."

I'm often confused when people post a link similar to this with no comment, no context or reason why they shared it. It's what I enjoy - the human aspect. Thank you for listening to me ramble.

donclarkon Stop Wasting Time on 'Community'

https://archive.md/gkMOo

*In business.

Summarized in one paragraph via: https://gemini.google.com This is an article about building a loyal community around your product. It discusses the importance of understanding the needs of both your conspicuous and extended constituencies. The conspicuous constituency is made up of the people you already have relationships with, like investors and customers. The extended constituency includes anyone who could benefit from your product. By meeting the needs of your extended constituency, you can turn them into promoters of your product. Some ways to do this include sharing success stories and highlighting how your product helps people achieve their goals.

donclarkon How to create a private ChatGPT with your own data

I would like to have a private ChatGPT with my own data. I believe that I would pay for a service that could answer questions based upon my data from gmail, outlook, browsing history, youtube history and likes, hackernews likes and comments, reddit likes and comments, and more.

donclarkon GPT-4: A Copilot for the Mind

I would like an AI assistant that can leverage personal/work emails(via API), texts, phonecalls, photos (friends social media posts with me tagged), movies/music I like, spotify likes, netflix likes, browser history, health data, youtube history, etc. - to train on and answer (and be able to ask it) personal questions about me. When was the last time I played softball? Use it to determine interests and hobbies (ranked list)

Is there a way to safely determine what my most used services are (by time and by device(mobile/desktop)?

My guess is that I would need to install an app on my phone and have a Windows/MacOS desktop app to do this?

donclarkon The apps that Americans search to “delete” the most

Where are we headed? What app should we use to share/communicate with others in a group setting without ads or having an option to have our data not to be mined or sold?

Is there a HN poll of a range of apps and how many is using each (and maybe a daily/weekly time usage of each)?
