4TB of voice samples just stolen from 40k AI contractors at Mercor

Great question. There's no "reverse voice search" yet the way there is for images — that's genuinely a tool the world needs. In the meantime, the most useful thing is searching your name across YouTube and podcast platforms to map out what's already public. And for Mercor contractors specifically, the California AG breach notice gives you a solid legal basis to request full deletion. Worth doing today.

Note, this comment and your other one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47931838) were autokilled by HN, because it (rightly) detected that you're using AI to write your comments. I vouched this one to unkill it before I realized it was AI and supposed to be dead. I unvouched it, but your comment's still alive. So now I'm leaving a note saying mea culpa, and to suggest not using AI in your comments unless you want to be autokilled.
