We work in source code security auditing with semi-automated tools using AI and other techniques. Is this approach covered in the grants?

if the work is OSS/public and you aren't trying to start a VC-backed company, it could be! We usually want to see some early work already published, community reception and validation, but feel free to DM Matt or myself and we can take a look!

Hi HN, we are super excited to announce this new initiative!! Please note, this program was designed to support individuals, teams, and hackers who are not pursuing commercial companies. Nevertheless, these projects push the state of the art in open source AI and help provide us with a more robust and comprehensive understanding of the technology as it is developed. We are really proud to be contributing in this smal…

I'm curious, where are you getting the GPUs?

in most cases the teams already had their own source or platform of choice!

"We believe artificial intelligence has the power to save the world" I don't agree with the side that says AI is about to destroy everything, it seems very hyperbolic... but neither do I agree with this sentiment that it's going to save the world.

I don't even understand. A16Z's crypto already saved the world. Why is the world in trouble again?
