Everyone is discussing the tech, but you do realize that they made mapping data to real people easier using AI? This is essentially AI-assisted privacy violation, 4 times cheaper.

People, please try to understand what you are building. Don't just build it as asked!

Kind of offtopic, but I was kind of horrified by the rather blasé presentation of massive privacy invasion at scale, too. But there's clearly no stopping it technically, it will have to be handled by legislation, and the only hope of that happening is some kind of huge scandal.

That's Hacker News for you. They have chronic tunnel vision and are unable to look at implications that go beyond the technical. Particular blind spot for techno-social consequences.

You also need that for things like merging paper hospital records when you digitise them.

What are you talking about, these kind of tech have been available in industry way before (eg hypertargeting / profiling in adtech), and is entirely unrelated to LLMs or Jev.
