I just wanted to say I read this and it really got me. Maybe I should also start knitting

I'm surprised it's only half

There's a joke about certain princes here but I just feel bad for the people getting scammed since I know firsthand how realistic these things can seem

So... Is the point just that the work needs to be good first and foremost?

Love Wayback Machine stories

Maybe one day the previous owner will find what you've built

Very interesting that OpenAI is by far the biggest driver and also that LLMs mostly crawl sites to ground answers

Because as we all know the Internet is never wrong

This has strong Stand By Me vibes

I think all the agents might also be putting GitHub to sleep in the same fashion

I get it - every week I look at a summary of AI news and my derealization meter spikes I wonder if even next year 2026 will seem like the new "good old days"

Depending who you talk to it's a Monkey's Paw

And the wishes are (almost) unlimited!

I'm re-reading the title and it is a little misleading (my apologies). The answer is a little bit complicated: the domain has been registered since 1999 (27 years). The initial site ran from 1999 to 2007 (8 years) and came back as a single page app around the 2008 election (~2 years). In February he re-created the site and hopefully it beats its predecessor's record!

That's fair criticism. I did use AI to help draft and clearly didn't scrub it thoroughly enough. The story is real and the research is mine, but the presentation could be more authentic. I'll take the lesson for the next one

Is this the start of a Jules Verne novel? Really though super cool

Don't worry we can just ask AI to make a cure! In seriousness though this is a massive problem that needs to be stopped early. I was glad to see the article list warning signs to watch for

https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/mnsc.2024.05684 A fascinating related study showing that collaboration with AI improves cognition while passive use erodes it. Personally I love the adversarial attitude Sonnet has adopted with me!

I was really hoping this would reference Coyote Peterson as a main source And it did not disappoint

Finally a success story I thought during COVID there was a large shift to the suburbs where your own space was valued over neat stuff nearby, and that simultaneously raised suburban housing demand and cooled urban prices

I think that's honestly best case

Oh geez another insanely powerful thing I don't have time to try

I'll at least follow along with anyone who generates some more compelling examples. It seems like this could totally change practical effects

So... The Torpedo Bat is basically the Placebo Bat?

I heard a colleague say this week that current security protocols with agents are basically putting a post-it note on a delicious cake that says "DO NOT EAT"

It's always been the tech industry's nature to race forward and scale regardless of consequence (ex. social media, the dotcom bubble etc) But AI accelerates the cycle to a crazy degree

I do hope we see regulation in the (very) near future because this is not a tool that private enterprises and free markets should govern

Okay those "hidden features" are amazing, especially the cross-session referencing. I hope we can look forward to that in the future

Also I definitely want a Claude Code spirit animal

Sorry man that sucks. It's the polar opposite of the COVID hiring boom

I feel like the right time to start a get a venture off the ground was in the 2010s

Love the idea but the advice I should probably take right now is to sleep vs chill (what it told me)

I feel like this is one of those things that people do for an experiment or headline but not in actual practice I'd be interested to see anyone who legitimately hands the keys over to their agents though

Ah yes the old counterintuitive "the more you release the more stable you become" I'm glad principles like canaries, CI/CD, and Blue/Green deployments were created by people much smarter than I am

It me... also no surprise there. Personally I don't believe a tool as powerful as AI (umbrella term I know) should be controlled by a company But if it has to be then I'm glad it's Anthropic.

Oh man can I be this guy when I grow up? That level of gumption is seriously impressive
