Bad. I'm in security and the vibe-coded apps are riddled with security issues.

I would have a hard time using a service like this. I was able to take a resume in almost any format (even a .pdf where I can't copy the words out of it) and completely rewrite it and output it to another .pdf or .doc file with codex in a few minutes.

I even made a report builder (so I don't have to keep using tokens) Python script where it takes markdown and outputs a professional .pdf/report. This took about 15 minutes and some manual tweaks.

AI will destroy some of these one idea/function based small-sites like this. I think there are many non-tech people that will still get some value out of it, but it's only a matter of time before it's a few clicks away.

Moderators on Reddit are now basically dictators that love to wield their power online, because they most likely have none in their real life.

Some go as far as even seeing other subreddits you post in and if they disagree with it, will insta-ban you.

These silo communities that this creates contributes to the uptick in violence we've been seeing due to mental illness.

You are seriously ignoring the tactics here?

They sold it at a good time. It reminds me of the broadcast.com acquisition.

It made Mark Cuban very wealthy and was worth pennies within a few years.

http2shell and php2shell are both really difficult to exploit. Not that they aren't serious (and should be patched), but it's not the doomsday scenario that the news makes it out to be.

I'm wondering if this is the same.

"The six-year-old digital publication has seen the social and web search traffic on which it depends evaporate. "

I learned a long time ago that you can't rely on search engines or ad revenue for a long-term business. One algorithm change, and your business is gone. This happened to me a decade or so ago. Youtubers run into this all the time.

Most online publications are funded by billionaires.

"Burnout stems from mismatches in workload, control, reward, community, fairness and values; not from any single task such as paperwork."

Do you think you will ever get this with a government-run healthcare system?

Until you start getting taxed.

This is the goal of all government regulations and it's always resulted in higher prices and near monopolies dominating the market.

Yet, so many Democrats support it.
