- chrisbarber polled 36 AI insiders on who to approach when selling a private dataset (e.g., a shut-down startup's data): micro1 led with 19 votes, Mercor got 9, Handshake and SF Data 5 each, Surge 4.
- Others include AfterQuery, Ooak Data, DataVendor, Grepped, Nyne and Standard Data; respondents couldn't vote for their own companies.
- rbhar90 reads the data-broker buzz as a possible negative signal for frontier labs: seeking rare data may suggest algorithmic improvements are slowing.
