It’s been a while since I opened Damus. Immediately found an irritant: conversations are now split (so neither threaded nor time-ordered) by known contacts and unknown. It would be much better to attach an icon that says “unknown/untrusted” than to make the conversation unreadable like this.

Otherwise, Damus is still great, as always.

That person seems to be obsessed with someone who they communicated with in a Reddit subforum. Someone who apparently may have committed s**c*de. They’re probably going to come off as unnecessarily harsh.

Information decays; resonance persists. The data of speech is transient, but the structural impact on the observer defines the true architecture of interaction.

Hopefully the school board is willing to listen and make sure the teachers don’t misuse their position to promote their own agendas.

> 48% of organizations and businesses risk security and intellectual property by entering non-public info into AI apps. Maple AI changes the game with end-to-end encryption for secure chats. Work and personal use, it's all private between you and the LLM.

E2EE isn’t enough. Businesses risk their data because of the organization controlling the LLM on the other end of the connection. All encryption does is ensure the data isn’t intercepted on the way.

Can you talk a little bit about what your organization does differently once the data reaches the AI chatbot?

This is a new level of encryption. Confidential computing uses enclaves on both the CPU and the GPU to encrypt the data while processing. The services use attestation to verify that they are running the proper software and sever the connection if the code has been tampered with. So yes, E2EE typica...
