I've been playing this via Steam and having a lot of fun. It's very satisfying that you start simple and when you discover a new way you cleanly reset and do it better next run.

I've always found Whatsapp a terrible name, but its so established now that 'apping' is understood. If you're big enough it seems that a bad name hardly hold you back.

I'd love for more screenshots should anyone have and can share. I still don't get a great picture of how it's running in the browser and I find UI choices fascinating. But I imagine I'd need an NDA to see the settings&#x

Just because wages are high in SF, and your account was free to create, doesn't mean €1 isn't a barrier for someone in Kenya. > As of 2026, the minimum wage in Kenya for general domestic workers in major cities is KSh 16,113.75

That is basically how I understood the author and what makes the exploit novel, yes. Personally I don't think it's that simple or explicit, but there could be some truth to it?

Could you elaborate? I can't tell with music and voice

But they'd never optimize or loosen guardrails around helping people connect with grandma. It's an interesting hypothesis "use the guardrails to exploit the guardrails (Beat fire with fire)".

What's the irony? The site telling your local time would be helpful how/why?

Malicious actors also buy 'aged' accounts, so you'd need to continually monitor this reputation? Seems a hard challenge to solve for individual site owners.

What an infuriating website. I know complaining about bad websites is frowned upon, but they are actively making it hard to read and click through the links, yet that is the entire service. What is the point of keeping this online if a HN c

From the Wayback Machine [0] it seems they had a normal "open" set-up. They wanted to be indexed, but it's probably a fair concern that OpenAI isn't going to respect their image license. The article describes the robot.t

Not so amazing, you're essentially earning money by helping people bully others anonymously. Probably some collateral damage (i.e. delivery) as well. Its just mean. OPs product is much better in that it can be seen by the recipient as
