This might be the first time that I move off of Chrome for an extended period of time.
If you think this is useful... remember technology like this would make totalitarian leaders foam at the mouth. If you thought that ads are creepy, Atlas is a root level keylogger service. Why would you want an AI company scraping and recording all of your browser interactions. Yes Google already does this via Chrome. It's one thing to build a predictive model on your demographic, spending, location and income inform…
Anyone feel like OpenAI is acting like Google lately? They announce a lot of products/features and then kill them when they realize people don't use them[0]. They also announce products way before they're ready for launch, just like google[1]. - GPT Plugins? (HN went crazy over this, they called it the "app store moment"...) - GPTs?! - Schedules? - Operator? - The original "codex" model? [0]: I know, the diff is that…
How else would you build new products?
1. Start New Company
2. Hire first employee: security and compliance engineer
3. Finish security audit
4. Post security bounty program (10% of gross revenue for finding security@company.com email)
5. Use only real languages like C, but intrinsic are bad. If you want to use intrinsic, use x86_64 assembly language.
6. Any time anyone suggests hiring sales guy, hire another security engineer, increase security bounty 10%
7. Start on initial MVP. Pre-commit hook send every patch to security engineer. Once he has reviewed you may commit on used Thinkpad.
8. After twenty years of this, bootstrapped, you have Hello World triangle display on screen. Congratulations.
9. Publish 100 Year Support Program: anyone who buy Hello World program entitled to full discount within 100 year of purchase and given source code
10. ???
11. Profit
Very smart advice from entrepreneurs of Hacker News

My web browser runs as root? Atlas runs as root? Atlas is a keylogger that indiscriminately watches what I type? Are any of these things true?

yeah the custom GPT announcement was literally a carbon copy of steve jobs announcing the app store down to the mannerisms and tics. You could tell they were doing it to give VC and private equity the pavlov bell "ring ring! this company is apple!" and remember the sora announcement just a couple weeks ago? oh you guys are tiktok and instagram reels now too? cool... everything that openAI does is laser focused on val…
I haven't used LLM chrome plugins because I couldn't trust that they weren't collecting more information about my browsing than I'd like. The same concern exists for this, though now I'm just confident it's a giant software company with access to my data rather than some shady plugin developer. I'm faced with asking myself if that's actually better...
