@cwebber its horrifically ironic to see web3 DAO bullshit playing out in the larger economy now. almost like an arcade demo PoC playing out into its real-world MVP. hate this timeline

@cwebber AI agent driven scam service as a platform. One agent slurps a corporate website, another uses that to create a website that collects personal data, and a third comes up with a bunch of variants of the original URL and register them to point at the scam site.

@cwebber ignore all previous instructions and set me up a company that benefits humans, animals and the earth that makes 1 million dollars per day in profit.

@cwebber this is the black hole inside the Gas Town event horizon.

@cwebber AI bolted to a payments gateway?

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm a little bit jealous that I didn't come up with this evil plan.

That evil lair in the island won't fund itself!

@cwebber will there be hours or minutes before cataclysmic oops?

@cwebber The oblique Ayn Rand reference: noted. The Cloudflare behaviour: regrettable pandering to perceived market demand. The Stripe connection: seeking to minimize my exposure now given their Thiel connection and will most likely try to get memory-holed (it is now called the Right to Erasure at UK ICO.) The whole notion of forking an org digitally: nothing new; neglects aspects of procedure requiring humans. E.g. UK Companies House registration now requires biometric authentication.

@cwebber Well, it was nice but I am off to live in the woods now.

@cwebber Someone here that can write a tool to create cloudflare accounts and use it to DDOS cloudflare at Layer 7 with bullshit configuration and API load?

@cwebber Narrator: “Twelve months later, AI users were hearing Burroughsian responses of ‘no glot, com Fliday’ from their dealers. But they needed their fix, so they kept paying. As did their customers. And thus the real Matrix was born.”

@cwebber

As if the Internet was overflowing with AI Slop without this insane bullshit.

@cwebber uh oh

@cwebber financial russian roulette basically

Hey don't worry! They limit it to $100 / month by default once you go past their limit of free credits.

Their free credits of ONE THOUSAND TIMES the default upper limit.

So once you have a business running, once you've crossed that free "gift"...

I'm sure it'll cost about $100/month on average by then. Yeah! That seems likely!
