No agency. Just a one man shop. What kind of vibecoded website is this? It's a Replit built site along wtih my 20 years of experience building websites from scratch. It was launched this month, so it's a bit rough around the edges, but we're off to a great start.

almost every news website is written primarily by AI these days with a human editor to review...

it took me awhile to find a reliable vendor, but they are def out there.

I'm the author and I am definitely not compensated for my website or opinion in anyway.

no model. that was me. i should have confirmed they were the same before posting. when i assumed they were the same, the real Wei's credentials made the language much more exciting. apologies. i'll do better next time.

it's called astroturfing and has been around since the dawn of the internet

Sure you can. You just need enough land and money to start basic things like a post office, city hall, courthouse, roads, and a way to get power to the whole thing.

Cool. I was actually just searching for something like this that was quick to get started. Do you support social url for data query?

Sure, but once this starts to materially affect FB's revenue, they have the war chest and the lawyers to keep this startup in court until it is exhausted.

Man I love this, but this isn't a business. Facebook, Reddit, et al will almost certainly C&D you and eventually sue you for violating their policies.

"Facebook does not have a specific policy against Greasemonkey like extensions by name, but it has banned users for creating or using scripts that interfere with Facebook's functionality, which can include those made with Greasemonkey. Such actions are against Facebook's terms of service, which prohibit anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of the site.

Interfering with site functionality: Scripts, including Greasemonkey scripts, that alter how Facebook's pages load or work can be seen as a violation of the terms of service, which can lead to account suspension or banning. Examples of banned scripts: A specific example is the ban of the creator of the FB Purity add-on, which was a Greasemonkey script used to customize Facebook, say The Next Web."

or maybe they have spent time with some really brilliant people and they know they are not brilliant, but they also know they are not as dumb as the person they are talking to? they don't have to be mutually exclusive.

my whole life in a nutshell. except for when i worked at fb and reddit in the early days. and to some extent AWS in the early days.

Really diggin this. Can't wait to try it out.

It's really not hard to say "make it in my voice" especially if it's an LLM with extensive memory of your writing.

Nice! I'll give it whirl. For those with terrible eyesight, do you offer accessibility options?

EFNet for life!

Bud, your LinkedIn of you and your wife say you are founders of a bootcamp.

do you think maybe they could have kept it up if they didn't layoff 80% of their staff because of your modding? reddit is essentially google results at this point, don't act coy.

Altman is an investor in OKLO. I'm expecting an announcement with companies like that where they can federal dollars to speed up R&D.

i wrote a book about hacking and startups. to make it fun, i built a small crackme. if you solve it, you’ll get a coupon code for a free hardcover copy.

July 9th? Wrong date or is this a month old?

Unless you're a cell, this study isn't super relevant to you.

* It does not show human harm, only cellular disruption.

* It uses an unnatural exposure method.

* It builds on epidemiological correlations that may be reverse causality.

* It does not account for systemic factors, metabolism, or adaptive responses.

my charity donations are capped with the IRS. But my cap gains (and losses) live forever.

the blog post could have been a lot shorter: "I quit angel investing because I'm not very good at it."

Massive congrats! Good to see the dream is still alive and well!
