You're worried about your personal data in AI algorithms. How can you ensure its protection and privacy?
There is one sure fire way to not be worried about data on any AI - LLM, Dymium.ai They built a system that obfuscates / redacts all data on 5 LLM's,. Check it out for a free trial just email the company. (Note I'm an advisor to the firm as I was concerned about my AI data so I approached them)

What do you do if you're a venture capitalist seeking to minimize risk through innovation?
Venture capital groups do not seek true innovation. They seek novel ideas that disrupt markets. True innovation like putting a food delivery system on the moon only come from people who lead the pack on wild ideas. "The Crazy One's" as Steve Jobs puts it are way to risky for VC's of most firms. So to really stick to something that is in the lane most VC's cherish is - rather static. I have yet to see a VC tackle the ocean and have the stomach to wait 15 years for a return. Wave powered devices that have failed to make commercialization market goals. VC's are for funds that are going to return within 5 to 10 years. Family funds can make 20 year bets on innovation. OTEC is a prime example of technology that will change the world.

What do you do if you're unsure which Venture Capital firm is the right fit for you?
In today's world if you are not a Unicorn by year 4 or 5 you are nothing. I find that rather odd. It depends on your goal. Do you want to be the next billionaire or would you rather have a profitable lifestyle business? Sometimes the VC route is just way to much for a business that doesn't ever need that kind of funding. Having chased that route ask yourself one question. How much is enough? Could you make it to over a million a year in profit without them? If so focus on profit not promotion. The VC world is for those firms who think a few million a year is not enough. What ever you do - don't give up on your dreams. Make them happen. That is the real goal in business. Then how you live your life is up to you.

From Namibia to Nepal - Wireless Devices Changing The World
Internet based TV has been tried before and failed miserably, so why are Google and other stalwart companies investing so heavily now? This question is at the epicenter of how cable TV and fixed-line information will be transformed in the next 5 years. Physically wired connectivity is expensive and has natural limitations, as cellular communication channels continue to become faster, more cost effective, and easier to deploy on a larger scale

Broadband Discovery's Ronin, An Eagle-Eyed Checkpoint
Last December, New Orleans Saints fans passed between pylons embedded with security scanners that work faster and are more thorough than ordinary metal detectors. Adapted from military checkpoints, Ronin uses magnetic and pulse-induction sensors, which record minute changes in a magnetic field, to spot contraband and weapons. By reducing the need for pat-downs, Ronin could make lines at public venues move up to five times faster.
