Me too. I've been using spec-kitty [0], a fork of Spec Kit. Quite amazing how a short interview on an idea can produce full documents of requirements, specs, tasks, etc. After a few AI projects, this is my first time using spec driven

Looks cool! I've had a hard time finding personal finance apps that are e2ee, so this is great. Only downside is manually importing documents, but there isn't any other way, really, without giving up your data to Plaid or another

How many times do you unlock your phone a day? For some people it’s over 100+ times a day Face ID is convenient, useful and secure. The alternative? People will use short numeric passcodes that are easy to bypass with devices like Cellulite

Congrats on the launch, cool idea and something I could see myself using. Tangental question: why is it that these AI generated websites all have a similar UI?

Citizens Council for Health Freedom has a whole page about Real ID. [0] Senator Rand Paul has a bill to repeal it. Crucially, you can still fly without a Real ID - there are 15 other forms of acceptable ID. [0]: https://www.cchfr

Does OpenAI have an incentive to get age prediction "wrong" so that more people "verify" their ages by uploading an ID or scanning their face, allowing "OpenAI" to collect more demographic data just in time to

It doesn't make everyone happy though. I think it would be useful to examine who is asking OpenAI to protect the children, and why.
44.
by samename 8mo ago
Yes, but it's to protect the children! ;) Just scan your face in the app and your restrictions will be lifted.

by samename 8mo ago
Do you expect the data collected for age verification will be completely separate from the advertising apparatus? I would expect the incentives would align for this to enhance their advertising options.
46.
by samename 8mo ago
Interesting. Do you believe OpenAI has earned user trust and will be good stewards of the enhanced data (biometric, demographic, etc) they are collecting? To me, this feels nefarious with the recent push into advertising. Not only are peopl

Stop using ChatGPT or pay $20/month (for now). Alternatively use the APIs instead

Are you suggesting regulations designed to protect children actually require more data collection and enable the surveillance economy?
49.
by samename 8mo ago
That's because it was never really about protecting the children.
50.
by samename 8mo ago
The unfortunate reality is this isn't just corporations acting against user's interests, governments around the world are pushing for these surveillance systems as well. It's all about centralizing power and control.

by samename 8mo ago
Exactly, all under the guise of "protect the children" - a tried and true surveillance and control trope.
52.
by samename 8mo ago
Exactly. The more data they can collect, the better. Is it not in OpenAI's best interested for them to accidentally flag adults as teens so they have to "verify" their age by handing over their biometric data (Persona face sc

But it's not fewer choices, it's worse choices, or more distracting choices.

What’s even the point of this? Is showing random videos really driving up engagement more than surfacing the video I want to watch? This was shocking to me when I first came across it

This is a very creative hack to a common, growing problem. Well done! Also, I like that you acknowledge it's a bad idea: that gives you more freedom to experiment and iterate.

What about future governments in Australia? This is ripe for abuse and scope creep. It also ties a uniform ID to an account, simplifying tracking and surveillance by corporations and governments. Plus, this is asking everyone in the country

I agree that separating kids from adults is an improvement, but I disagree this is a "great step" due to the mechanism. Using a child's biometrics is a horrible step. Why can't this just be done with parental controls? W
