Website "In the Weights" shows whether AI models know who you are

A new website called In the Weights allows users to check how frequently specific individuals appear in the training data of major AI models. Developed by two former OpenAI employees, the tool assigns a score based on how easily a model can recall a person's identity. This project highlights the extent to which public figures and historical entities are embedded in large language models, providing insight into what information remains most accessible to these systems.
