(feels quite fucky to type the following without coming across as a naysayer; not quite the intended meaning, but.. I guess you'll see)

it'd probably be cool if this could exist, but also there's a couple of extremely hard problems in going for it, along with a couple of (to my current knowledge) entirely unsolved ones

one of the presently-unsolved things I know of is that we don't yet have anything like scalable performant homomorphic encryption so there's no way to do fully-private query operations on a dataset, which thus gives way to the operator snooping space combined with user privacy angles. there are some technical solutions to some aspects of this, and a number of social things that would apply too

might be interesting either way

definitely a hell of a big project.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
