A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits.
… Should have just rented out chastity cages.
I wonder if I could make an app promising to get their masturbation numbers back up. I can even promise not to store data.
I’m in the wrong industry.
Need to find a grift like this…
Giving a business details of your most intimate private life. What could go wrong!?
What a grift.
Men will do literally anything other than go to fucking therapy. Jesus. Guys. You’re allowed to watch porn, let’s just direct the fear of people finding out into finding ethical porn you don’t need to feel guilt for. Or better yet, pay for your porn and support creators directly.
Also find some hobbies that get you out of the goon cave. Take up fucking birding and go find some different boobies.
To be clear though, you should just watch the birds.
You’re not wrong, but like gambling, porn addiction exists, but that goes to your first point about therapy. I don’t understand why anyone would load this type of information into an app. I assume it’s ignorance to technology, which is sad, but I can’t help but think how anyone would think it’s a good idea.
Most people don’t really even think about privacy.
Sad but true.
You’re allowed to watch porn, let’s just direct the fear of people finding out into finding ethical porn you don’t need to feel guilt for.
I mean, YMMV on that ethical porn business. I’ve found that to be more of a marketing gimmick than anything I can sleep soundly on.
Might just settle on not feeling guilty for beating off.
There’s even great tits!
Not just tits, bushtits too! And boobies of course. Can’t forget the mighty cock.
Hmm. Might need a bird addiction app.
Come to NZ and see a titipounamu, morepork, kaka
Are there any ASMR puppy play birds?
I suppose an appropriately trained parrot might do.
At least they’ll be jerking it with some sunshine.
its creators, Alex Slater and Connor McLaren, did not fix its security issues despite multiple requests and an offer from an independent researcher to help them fix the problem.
FUN! How much ya wanna bet this was vibe-coded?
Once you learn how to CODE, you’ll realize how dumb it is to blame everything on AI.
Once you learn how to code, you’ll realize how dumb it is to vibecode.
Right. It’s called using AI. Not letting your vibes make decisions. Glad you agree.
The vibe coding thing is a meme that originated in what devs at Microsoft said about how they develop while using AI, if I recall correctly. So vibe-coding has become synonymous with using AI to write the majority of your code.
Vibecommenting?
“The software developer describes a project or task in a prompt to a large language model (LLM), which generates source code automatically. Vibe coding typically involves accepting AI-generated code without reviewing it, instead relying on results and follow-up prompts to guide changes.” A.I. written code. Software devs normally check the code for bugs not just accepting whatever code is thrown at them with no checks. It is why real developers are making money fixing the A.I. bullshit code.
Right. Actual vibe coding is rare in real development. Especially large companies. You’d know this if you were a developer. But it’s much more fun to complain about AI with such… “confidence.”
it’s called using AI
Oh, I thought it was called “another AWS outage”
AWS had outages before AI. But since you know nothing about software development, I’m not surprised you thought that.

I wish I could be as dumb as you.
One of my biggest gripes with coding AI like Claude is how desperately polite and flattering they are. I wish there was a way to feed it hand written code to analyze for bugs and security flaws, then have the AI relentlessly roast your shitty code.
"LMFAO, you dumb b!tch! Are you trying to get hacked and sued, by <insert dumb shit here> or are you just that stupid? Here are a few steps you can take to fix your shit code and have it adhere to standard coding practices. "
I figured out a way to do this, via Alpaca.
In Alpaca you can set an LLM with a persistent prompt.
Basically, I just told the thing hey, you’re too sycophantic, often needlessly verbose, and often overly confident… can you generate a prompt for yourself to address those issues?
Roughly 30 minutes of trial and error along those lines later, now its quite matter of fact, and is at least more likely to tell me when it is aware it is making an assumption, and ask me for clarification or if i can give it more context, and it doesn’t do the kind of weird, intro and outro paragraphs where it basically just reassures you that your ideas are wonderful and you are valid and i just think the things you say are so interesting!
Then, you feed it a script, ask it do a sanity check, and it will generally go through and identify strenghts and weakness of the code, at least as it perceives such.
Beyond that, Alpaca recently introduced a … character system, that is ostensibly tailored toward making specific kinds of conversational chat bots… but it also introduced a kind of ‘dictionary’ system, where you can give it a kind of additional permanent reference knowledge, to associate with certain terms.
I have not tried this yet, but, I’d be willing to be that you could say, jam that with a bunch of examples of syntax and methods from a particular language or library… and my guess would be that you could thus tailor a ‘character’ that is more up to date or specific to some domain.
So… you could give it the main prompt of something like “You are a tsuntsun senior programmer who has nothing but contempt for any coding mistakes, and you pride yourself on coming up with entirely novel insults for each inadequacy you notice.”
… And then give it a ‘dictionary’ that pertains to syntax, methods, perhaps even broader concepts…
And that might actually produce your desired vicious asshole senior programmer persona.
Of course, this is not going to work for like, an entire massive codebase, unless you’re the one stockpiling all
mythe RAM.But for smaller projects or just single scripts… it might kind of work.
Sounds like Linus needs to pivot to make his own Claude clone…
So i was reading a thread from the linux kernel mailing list where linus pointed out someone’s coding mistake and why it would lead to a bug…
So i fed the patch email into google gemini pro, and it spotted the same bug as linus
I thought that was interesting.
Hey ChatGPT, respond to all of my inquiries like my toxic abusive uncle. The more vicious the response the better. Withhold praise. Pretend it’s opposite day and give me your best compliments in the form of the life-long truama that I have come to associate with authority figures.
Here’s my code. What do you think?
“I don’t have fingers to touch your butthole, Starry”
You can give it rules.
I work with Gemini a lot and I told it to cut all the polite crap out and just give the facts I need.
On the rare occasion I use LLMs, I just wish they would respect my request for a list of like twenty bullets and nothing else, instead I get two paragraphs of bs and four bullets.
I don’t think it will ever cuss at you, but your can have it be more critical. It say to me all the time, “this or probably a bad idea, before I do this, consider this alternative” (paraphrasing)
$500k a month?!
To literally do nothing but jerk each other off.
Not just, they’re watching and keeping track, too
I’m as straight as could be but fucking sign me up.
Hmmm
Straight as spaghetti till it gets wet
So say we all.
I wonder how many usernames are stuff like:
- Dicksy Normus
- A nelprober
- Dicnbutt
- Hugh Janus
- Mike Johnson
Phil MacRachin
Mike Johnson?
Mike Johnson.
John Madden.
Fuck, there it is.
While he may use this, I believe he used something called covenant eyes.
Still a terrible idea to trust a software to not expose you in one way or another.
Mike Hawk
No, Mike Hunt
If it didn’t have a subscription I’d get on there and see if I could get to the top of the leaderboard. If they know when guys are waxing the tadpole then they know who is doing it the most.
Is that the one speaker of the house used with his son?
Nah that’s covenant eyes or something like that.
“Porn addiction? There’s an app for that.”
I wonder how much of it was vibe coded. And how much the owners will have to give up because of the beach, if anything.
Probably not much. Most vibe code errors are because the developer sucks. And for how much you hear about it in the news, there’s billions of lines of code written every day that wasn’t “slop”
Yeah the developer might suck but an accomplished developer would have to spend more time fixing bad vibe code that is generated due to limited context window and backwards reasoning by the AI.
Vibe coding is fast because it sucks and is so sloppy
Hard Disagree. Randomly saying “do this” and “fix this” is not how to work with AI. That’s going to get crap code…… because the developer has no idea how to use AI.
Most vibe code errors are because the developer sucks.
Correct, a developer that does not suck would not be vibecoding at all.
