  • Play stupid games…

    Seriously, unsandboxed? Maybe I just don’t understand how Replit works.

    “Three and one-half days into building my latest project, I checked my Replit usage: $607.70 in additional charges beyond my $25/month Core plan. And another $200-plus yesterday alone. At this burn rate, I’ll likely be spending $8,000 a month. And you know what? I’m not even mad about it. I’m locked in. But my goal here isn’t to play around. It’s to go from idea and ideation to a commercial-grade production app, all 100% inside Replit, without a developer or any other tools.”

    JFC. Hook, line and sinker.

    edit: https://farside.link/x.com/jasonlk/status/1945539345328607312 - and then he asks a different AI what it thinks about his AI lying to him? WTF is wrong with this person?

    edit2: What a rollercoaster. Read it! Movie material. For the sake of exciting investigative journalism & uncovering deep shit, I forgive Lemkin.

    edit3:

    “Sure, Gen AI supercharges development, but it also supercharges risk. Two engineers can now churn out the same amount of insecure, unmaintainable code as 50 engineers.”

    lol

    And just to be clear, nazi tech bros and their cheerleaders are marginally more responsible here, for propagating lie after lie after lie.















  • I’m 50/50 on this one. On one hand, yes, absolutely. On the other, there’s lots more to the design than just its outline. Materials used, touch and feel, hardware switches… I remember holding a very new but compact iPhone a few years back. It felt so fucking good. Sturdy. Those rounded corners were actually a metal band going all around the phone. Not too big, not too small. Not too thin, either.

    I also sorely miss the Nokia N9 in this picture - another of these devices you have to actually hold in your hand, or know a little more about, to appreciate the design. I mean the design is cool to even look at, but the shell is also carved out from a hard plastic block. That’s beyond sturdy, and feels very good in your hand.
