My private information is worth $30

Interesting! I imagine this website is also full of software developers, startup founders, VCs and others who earn a living in software. How do you reconcile all of that work actually being worth $0 with the fact that we are earning a living?

What would you exactly do with a copy of the source code of the Facebook app?

Sure you can cherry pick an example that would be difficult for me to monetize.

However I can think of plenty I’d do with the model weights for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Can’t you?

I can go on with hundreds of examples. The Waymo source and models, as another example. Enumerating everything would detract from the message so I’ll stop here.
