@adcock_brett Do not give a random AI app access to everything. You think this random startup should know your entire life for a pizza?

[Darshan Bhatta @darshanbX]

been working on this at @cloaked the last few weeks and it's been one of my favorite things i've shipped here!

it finds money people are owed (old bank accounts, uncashed checks, class action settlements) and just files the claim for them. you get a notification, tap it, sign, done.

it's been live two weeks and it's already filed 6,000+ claims, $568k+ worth. my favorite one so far is someone who had a $13k cashier's check just sitting there that they'd totally forgotten about 😭

Working on a safe and private alternative. Stay tuned.

So, I can’t connect @stripe Link to @Muse for a basic online payment without granting it full read access to my accounts for “financial insights” that I definitely don’t want

Agentic commerce is going splendidly

Introducing Adaline 2.0 - The Agent Self-Improvement Layer

Adaline turns Traces into Behaviors,
Behaviors surface Issues,
Issues become auto-generated Evals + Data,
Adaline then generates new agent candidates and tests them.

You review the winners and ship!

[Arjun Bhatnagar @acenario]

@arshdilbagi Always a big fan of Arsh! Amazing to see 2.0!

@CyberJMC66 @cloaked I'm so sorry, we had a brief outage at the time, but things are back to normal. Happy to still process a cancellation if you don't want to give it a try!

I didn’t go to college, but I did once unexpectedly end up at Princeton University’s “reunions weekend.”

The way they do it, every 5th year class has their reunion on campus at the same time. So every year, on one weekend, the Princeton campus will be filled with people celebrating their 5th, 10th, 15th, and so on class reunions— all the way up until there’s nobody alive anymore.

The beginning of reunions weekend kicks off with a parade! It is a parade of the Princeton graduates: featuring themselves, in honor of themselves, for… themselves.

It works like this: all the graduates pack the sidewalks of the parade route, but ordered by graduation year. The recent graduates are standing at the end of the route, and the oldest graduates are at the beginning.

Then, the parade begins. The oldest living graduate steps off the sidewalk and leads the parade. When everyone older than you has gone by, you step into the street and become the parade. Until you become part of the parade, you’re cheering the parade. You cheer and witness everyone before you, and then you are cheered and witnessed by everyone after you.

It is a bizarre ritual. To see it, though, is like seeing the entire fossil record of Princeton graduates. The person leading the parade — the oldest living graduate in that cohort — is a white guy. And then, for a reallllly lonnnnnng time, it’s just white guys!

After 30 minutes… a woman! A white woman. With people in the parade maybe holding signs like “first coed graduating class!”

And then another 30 minutes of slowly, incrementally, more white women in the parade. And then… the first black man! Another 30 minutes of slowly, incrementally, more black men. And so on.

By the end — the most recent class — is the exact opposite of the beginning. A mix of everyone you can think of.

For some reason that parade really stuck with me. It’s simultaneously a representation of how much the world has changed, but also a representation of how many “minutes of parade” are still walking around having lived and ended up where they are under very different circumstances.

5 years ago Abhijay and I bet that privacy & security would be the biggest question in an age of AI.

Today, Cloaked raised $375M to take that challenge on and help individuals, businesses, and the world fight back against data parasites.

Back to work! @cloaked

@brianrumao @nextplayVC Thank you so much!! Really appreciate you being a supporter from the very beginning.

[Arjun Bhatnagar @acenario]

@bznotes @cloaked So happy to call you a friend and a mentor on this journey! It's been a lot of fun and we're just getting started.

[Arjun Bhatnagar @acenario]

@iAnonymous3000 - really great to connect and appreciate that you’re on cloaked. You understand our mission and I definitely took back your feedback.

Quick thoughts to ensure we're clear on your notes because we definitely are on the same side here.

Section 3.4 applies to Intellectual Property Rights. Its stating that feedback, ideas, or random comments sent to us, including via "email," do not give IP rights to that person. For example, if you emailed me an idea on Cloaking Addresses, and we were already building Cloaked Addresses, you don't have IP rights in Cloaked Addresses. This is not speaking to user emails or information - which is e2e encrypted, in each user's separate database.

Section 3.5 speaks to protecting Cloaked for processing payment transaction information that you provided - the Your Information definition. For example, if you give us information to ACH a bank account, and you get a NSF fee, we want to protect Cloaked from blowback. True that legal is a stickler here, but wants to protect us, as you can imagine. This does not grant rights, but protects Cloaked for unencrypted information you provided, usually via third party, for account payment.

You’re right, we partner with PureVPN, which we wanted to disclose in our docs while we’re putting finishing touches on our grassroots VPN efforts. More to come soon there!

Rising tides here, and appreciate everything. We also have partnered with @brave many times in the past, and look forward to doing so again in the future.

Always welcome to chat!

@nikitabier Already happening, and accelerating. We built Cloaked for exactly this. My phone number is fully masked, and Cloaked screens every call. It's the only way I stay reachable.
