The first season is pretty taut, then the follow-up seasons suffer from every character being at the center of every big thing in tech for narrative purposes, which is to its detriment imo.

Thank you! Vibe coded indeed huh? Wasn't too worried on my end, as if my subscription quota runs out it just fails but doesn't charge me. Very appreciated, the stakes were low so don't hold any atrocious shortcuts too against me.

I really admire that they publicly posted this data, and hope that the platform can find a new type of pivot or draw to bring back a community.

A recursive depth of 1? So it's just subagents..? How exactly can this be described as recursive then?

I vibe coded https://domainhq.ai entirely in a few days with Opus, as in, this was a secondary focus and I never bothered to write any specs. Halfway through I had to ask it to convert it all to React because it was vanilla HTML and I didn't realize (that is not a flex).
I have a .ai domain that I feel is somewhat premium, and seemed to be getting lowball offers from domain brokers. And those I spoke to didn't seem like they were very up-to-date with market news and trends. Exploring services like Namebio were very limited and expensive; the subscription usage for building this was less than the price of a monthly membership (the domain is a different story!).
Domainhq.ai suggested its own domain to buy with its brainstorm feature, and tracks domain sales and expired domains, with reports generated by Claude as it perpetually analyzes price history over time.
The domain was a bit of an investment but I do like it, and the app itself is running 24-7 on a spare Macbook I wasn't using, so I plan to host it myself without paying for cloud servers, and the LLM features are using my personal subscription rather than API credits.
I do plan to add registrations and paid subscriptions (at a fair price, and will make things robust then); I get the irony here, but I also encourage anybody else who needs a niche tool to play around with their own vibe coding sessions to get something usable. Stuff like this does make me question the longevity of tech as a stable career.

It's a great question that I haven't seen discussed on HN yet (though I'm not that active), I think this crowd is still very attuned to interesting but more deterministic problems technically.
This might sound basic but I keep coming back to this idea again and again. Alex Garland really did have the right idea with Ex-Machina, where in the film Caleb claims that he purposefully designed Ava (the AI robot) to have all the internal mechanisms shown, so people would understand always they are interacting with a machine. The point of his Turing test was to show whether they could see past the machine and still empathize with it as a human.

There'd first have to be an intense evaluation and standardization process for AI / measuring AGI now. All current benchmarks are tailored to one use case (e.g. SWE) or are evaluations that can be gamed and manipulated.
I think this would take the form of something more abstract instead of concrete with raw numbers, like a revised Turing Test.

Pls consider donating this to the Linux foundation and making tons of announcements about it.

It's insane work when you just search "Coinbase" and literally the first or sponsored results are not Coinbase but scam sites. I've seen this first-hand in Google. Obviously SEO and DA isn't on their side so it has to just be like pay enough and you can push whatever you want.
