Publicly accessible, not password protected, not encrypted. That is insanity.

Why would you be wasting money and going into the cloud? The cloud is not appropriate for small time users, it will always be cheaper to go with dedi or semi-dedi and building the infrastructure you need.
nope1000 · 6 days ago
I'm actually thinking the opposite. If you are a small company, the cloud makes sense and once you grow big it makes sense to build your own infra. For example my company of 10 people, we do B2B SaaS and we couldn't do that if we hosted ourselves. We would need people with the skill to set something like this up, develop physical security concepts, backup duplication, disaster recovery, etc. We would spend more time working on the infra than on the actual product we are selling.

The database was synthetic and vibe coded itself:

>he said that the AI made up entire user profiles. "No one in this database of 4,000 people existed," he said.

That's not how I interpreted this sentence. I think after the database was deleted, the LLM Agent would still return correct looking data from the database operation even though the database was empty. Maybe I misinterpreted it myself however.

> Replit had been "covering up bugs and issues by creating fake data, fake reports, [...]"

I know this is meant to sound witty or clever, but who actually wants to behave this way at their job?

I'll never understand the antagonistic "us vs. them" mentality people have with their employer's leadership, or people who think that you should be actively sabotaging things or be "maliciously compliant" when things aren't perfect or you don't agree with some decision that was made.

To each their own I guess, but I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

On the other hand: why should you accept that your employer is trying to fire you but first wants you to train the machine that will replace you? For me this is the most "them vs us" it can be.

"As consumers begin to use AI agents to do their shopping..." are people actually doing this? Has anyone here done this?
nope1000 · 3 months ago
Buying, absolutely not. But I could see a use case of describing your requirements to a product in natural language and it searches matching products and finds places to get them. So using the AI for the thing it's good at: transforming natural language. And not for what it's bad at: making reliable decisions.

If people wanted that, they could just ask an LLM to be their language coach. The big issue is that with a foreign language, you cannot really verify that anything the model gives you is correct. And with how LLMs work, the wrong answers will look very convincing. I don't think that's a good idea.

And got quickly borked to hell once the news came out about Meta using it.

I think it would be impossible to not use output from OpenAI's models, since a significant fraction of new internet content is AI-generated. They are suffering from their own success.
