  "textContent": "I started my privacy journey a couple years back, and I’ve learned a lot. Much, thanks to this forum.\n\nWhere I see a lot of frustration and misconceptions (some of which I may have once shared) are with people who are suddenly confronted with the surveillance state and freaking out. Things are so far gone, that it’s beyond overwhelming just to get a handle on where to start.\n\nSomething I’ve been thinking about doing is dipping a toe into consulting as a service to help individuals 1) figure out their threat model, 2) apply that to someone’s life, 3) provide concrete steps forward.\n\nHaving worked in other industries, I understand that once I provide steps forward, I can’t force anyone to follow them. I also can’t make companies or governments follow all the good advice they’re given, either, and I’ve seen plenty of highly-paid consulting firm projects collecting dust on a shelf. But that’s on the people paying for the info.\n\nObviously, use of a full NDA and hard line about no illegal stuff is fundamental.\n\nCan ChatGPT do this job? Not really, IMO. Things move so quickly, and the “it depends” level pretty high, that I don’t think any LLM will effectively do this in a way that works. I do freelance research for authors on the side, and there are huge blind spots where LLMs simply don’t have a good knowledge base. (on top of general incompetence) People can try to compare (and my test case would be to compare) what I give them against an LLM and see where the gaps are that are practical and tailored to their lifestyle.\n\nDoes this sound like an insane thing to think might work? Do people already do this and I’m just not searching for the right terms online? I do think there’s a market for this, and I would also, personally, lean into an audience that is more sensitive to privacy issues in the first place.\n\nAny thoughts welcome!",
