Yeah the auth angle and unobtrusive integration path seems like the real neat thing here. From your customers eyes its just another user account right?

Is that a requirement to integrate it? your app has to essentially have "teams" or at least shared resources?

I think tweaking section 230 in the US would have a similar effect. Make corporations liable for posts that they algorithmically amplify. The "discovery" algorithms would become banal overnight without an outright ban.

The Codex App 6 months ago

interestingly opencode's first product was an IaC platform... seems to be where this is all going.

How big were the lots? How far of a walk was the closest bar, grocery store, cafe? Do you have to walk onto someone's property to talk to them if they are sitting on the porch?

I lived in a car dependent burb for 20+ years and would rarely, if ever, run into my neighbors out on the town. Living in a walkable neighborhood in a medium-low density city for under a year and I regularly run into my neighbors.

There will be no royalties, simply make all the models that trained on the public internet also be required to be public.

This won't help tailwind in this case, but it'll change the answer to "Should I publish this thing free online?" from "No, because a few AI companies are going to exclusively benefit from it" to "Yes, I want to contribute to the corpus of human knowledge."

if you train your model on this, your weights and training code must be published.

This feels like the simplest & best single regulation that can be applied in this industry.

I'm getting sick and tired of people on Twitter/X making wild claims that they can build a profitable app with 100% vibe coding so I started poking around and can almost always find a business destroying vulnerability.

In this case it was a user claiming their app is doing $60k MRR while, get this, building a vibe coding management platform & boilerplate. Quite the house of cards.

Soon with little help at all for static sites like this. Had chatgpt "recreate" the background image from a screenshot of the site using it's image generator, then had "agent mode" create a linktree style "version" of the site and publish it all without assistance.

I'm building a sort of "neocities" like thing for LLMs and humans alike. It uses git-like content addressability so forking and remix a website is trivial. Although i haven't built those frontend features yet. You can currently only create a detached commit. You can use without an account (we'll see if i regret this) by just uploading the files & clicking publish.

Even chatgpt can publish a webpage! Select agent mode and paste in a prompt like this:

"Create a linktree style single static index.html webpage for "Elon Musk", then use the browser & go to https://cozy.space and upload the site, click publish by itself, proceed to view the unclaim website and return the full URL"

Edit: here is what chatgpt one shotted with the above prompt https://893af5fa.cozy.space/

I think we need to be very careful & intentional about the language we use with these kinds of tools, especially now that the MCP floodgates have been opened. You aren't just exposing the users browsing data to which ever model they are using, you are also exposing it any tools they may be allowing as well.

A lot of non technical people are using these tools to "vibe" their way to productivity. I would explicitly tell them that potentially "all" of their browsing data is going to be exposed to their LLM client and they need to use this at their own risk.

A platform for indie devs to publish WIP web games: (https://flipkick.gg)

The goal is to build a discovery system/algo that surfaces stickiness and fun to give developers a tighter publish/iterate feedback loop so they can really hone their craft on a shorter time frame.

If you have a prototype of a game that can be hosted as a static frontend web rotting away in your "projects/" directory feel free to toss it up on the site. Bugs beware :)

With the news around PH not accepting credit cards anymore I'm curious to see how much revenue they generate through bitcoin in the next quarter. I imagine their revenue will drop substantially.

What do you mean by layer of trust? Bitcoin is definitely not "trustless" its trust minimized for sure. Lightning also minimizes trust in a very similar way. As a user you don't have to make any more assumptions when using lightning than you do already using the bitcoin base layer.

No, node software verifies transactions. Miners are supposed to also verify transactions because they should also run a validating node. There have been blocks in the past mined by miners who did not verify the transactions before putting them in the blocks (doing this would give you competitive edge) only to find out that the rest of the network rejected their blocks.
