Project didn't gain too much traction. What's missing? #52
Description
Hello.
A lot has changed in the 6 or so years since the project's inception. Everybody involved has probably followed the developments in the privacy world closely.
Did any of you write any summary or "what I learned" articles based on this project yet? If not, I think reflecting on this project's goals and how they could be accomplished better is something I'd like to read about, especially coming from someone who has worked for building such a world.
Perhaps those goals shouldn't be accomplished? Maybe it's better to allow data aggregation so our slow-learning AIs can recognize more patterns.
Perhaps there are better cryptographic primitives now that would make more targeted (as opposed to en-masse) data acquisition viable and private (zero knowledge proofs for ensuring only the people benefiting from an analysis would contribute data?).
I'm thinking about building similar tools as yours. I want to know if that's actually a useful thing with the current status quo.
