  • So the top response is asking the painfully obvious question: how is this secure? Some dude (not sure if it's one of the startup employees) responds "Let's just use homomorphic encryption!" then throws a pissy fit because some people downvoted the suggestion of running extremely inefficient computation on rented hardware.

  • huh, I looked into the LLM for compression thing and I found this survey CW: PDF which on the second page has a figure that says there were over 30k publications on using transformers for compression in 2023. Shannon must be so proud.

    edit: never mind it's just publications on transformers, not compression. My brain is leaking through my ears.
