Vana

Data exists in walled gardens. Vana breaks it free ⛓️💥 🙈 Reddit makes hundreds of millions of dollars selling user data. 🙉 Meta and X use user data for their internal LLMs. 🙊 Over 170K Youtube videos were scraped for training by teams like Anthropic, Nvidia, and Apple. 2025 is your year to start or join a #DataDAO and secure your stake in the new data economy! Start here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gBiNnA-6. Thanks to Vana's technology, all data remains private and user-owned. ✨

🔬☄️The #DeSci x #DataDAO market opportunity is massive. Combining user data sovereignty and collective governance on Vana creates the technical and economic infrastructure to unlock the value of open science with user-owned, open data. Thinking of starting a DeSci DataDAO? Here’s the size of your opportunity, comparing DeSci’s $3b market cap to today's centralized giants: ➡️ Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): $348 billion ➡️ Novartis AG (NVS): $207 billion ➡️ Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK): $250 billion ⚗️ Get started building the future here: https://lnkd.in/gMz29BZb

🛠️ Calling all Builders! Need some inspiration for 2025? 🔮 📝 Anna Kazlauskas just dropped her wishlist of DataDAOs - collectives that aggregate valuable AI training data and ensure users reclaim their stake in the AI economy. Here are 6 ideas to build the future of user-owned AI on Vana👇 🧵 1/ 🏥 Health Data Collectives Imagine patient-owned datasets combining medical records, fitness tracking, and wellness data. These DataDAOs could accelerate breakthroughs in preventative care and rare disease research while ensuring privacy and fair compensation. 2/ 🔬 Academic Research DataDAOs OpenAI's O3 proved specialized datasets drive breakthroughs. What if PhD researchers owned stakes in AI trained on their work? Research DataDAOs could unlock siloed academic knowledge while giving researchers ownership in what they create. 3/ 🚗 Mobility Data Network Tesla has 5M+ cars collecting self-driving data. A user-owned mobility DataDAO could level the playing field, letting EV owners pool and monetize their driving data while maintaining control over how it's used. 4/ 🏠 Smart Home Collective Your smart devices gather valuable data about how we live. Instead of big tech acquisitions, imagine a DataDAO where users monetize floor plans and usage patterns for furniture design and robotics training. 5/ 💻 Knowledge Work DataDAO Screen recording tools are teaching AI to work. A Knowledge Work DataDAO would let users contribute recordings to train better AI assistants while earning ownership in the models they help create. 6/ 🌐 Language & Translation Coalition Most translation models rely on public data. A Language DataDAO could pool private conversations and texts to build more natural translation models, with contributors owning stakes in the technology. 7/ 🔎 Read Anna's full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gGgr6hzZ 8/ 🛠️ Inspired by one of these ideas?
