among all the AI hype, apart from a couple of outliers and opportunistic wrappers, is there anyone that has massively benefitted from these yet — ie. change your life type of thing apart obvs from influencers that profit off of promoting how amazing their 17 agents that are running doing god knows what? not simply improve productivity, finish tasks quicker, get better info, iterate coding faster, launch more mvps, etc. That, we've all done i think lots of people have vibe coded cool stuff like custom trackers suited to personal needs, some even some micro SaaS, and experimented with a cron job that gives you a briefing in the morning or a finalized presentation that you didn’t need anyways i guess people posting AI slop on X — still surprising to me how those get millions of views — are making good money but it feels like today there’s more people making money off selling how amazing AI is instead of actually using AI everyone is getting more efficient, but personally don’t know many who have gone from 0 to 100 using AI before having barely nothing

Lots of discussion around Venice's privacy model last few days. Glad to see this as an important topic! To date, Venice is private in that prompts and responses are not stored on Venice servers. They are not retained. They can not be viewed or extracted later. This is private, but it is not provable. Venice users are not mainly crypto people, and for them, the above has been sufficient (empirically, given the growth). But proving the privacy is much better, and we need to do so. This has been on our roadmap since inception. But delivery means everything. Provable privacy will be delivered soon.

Venice neither observes nor stores prompts or responses. Thus no eavesdropping. There are no records of convos of any kind. That is our privacy model. The open-source models labelled Private are run by us, thus we are not a middle man to these models. Obviously closed-source models run exogenously by OpenAI/Google/Anthropic, etc when routing through Venice, means we are the middle man in that arrangement. Thanks for taking security seriously with all of your flags
