He is not claiming to be doing that. He says what and how he's capturing multiple times. He says he's capturing what's happening in browser sessions. Reflect on what else you may to re-evaluate or discard if you misunderstood this.

Yes, the author is well aware of that as are presumably most readers. However for example if your client makes POST requests to the startup's backend like startup.com/api/make-request-to-chatgpt and the payload is {systemPrompt: "...", userPrompt: "..."}, not much guessing as to what is going on is necessary.
> You are not bothered by the only sign that the author even exist is this one article and the previous one?
Moving goalposts. He may or not be full of shit. Guess we'll see if/when we see the receipts he promised to put on GitHub.
What actually bothers is the lack of general reading comprehension being displayed in this thread.

What? Anybody can be a startup founder today. Crazy claim. Also... what?
> It doesn't automatically provide credibility.
Almost nobody in this space has credibility. That could turn out to be Sam Altman's alias and I'd probably trust it even less.
In any case evaluating whether or not a text is credible should preferably happen after one has understood what was written.
