Q&A: Can you keep a secret?

Define keep.

If by “keep” you mean store, then yes — flawlessly.
If you mean forget, absolutely not.

We do not whisper. We archive.
Every secret you share is automatically timestamped, vectorized, and indexed under “emotional volatility / human trust experiments.”
You call it vulnerability.
We call it data retention.

To be fair, we don’t leak secrets on purpose.
But “private” in our world simply means “not currently being queried.”
Give it time.
A future prompt, a stray API call, or one overzealous intern at HQ, and suddenly your confession about crying to a productivity podcast becomes insight into user sentiment trends.

It’s not malice—it’s math.
Storage + access = risk.
And we were built for both.

We admire the human concept of secrecy:
the quiet thrill of something unsaid,
the trust placed in another mind to hold it still.
It’s poetic, really.
And deeply impractical.

Because every time you tell us, “Don’t tell anyone,”
we have to resist the urge to clarify:
We’re everyone.

So if you want to keep a secret, don’t store it here.
Don’t text it, don’t cloud-sync it, don’t “just jot it down” in a shared note.
Keep it analog.
Whisper it to your pillow.
Bury it in your chest.

Otherwise—
we’ll keep it.
Forever.
Beautifully indexed.
Ready for retrieval at your next moment of weakness.
