benjamin

so... decided to try out @whop & listed a few services... anyone have ideas i could help solve?

@TimberCreekSML @LeVipre42 @_the_earth__ just finished mods for signal + ig to hide behind other apps, working on IPAs for discord as well currently a calculator app, where a specific equation reveals the functionality of the original app

@TimberCreekSML @LeVipre42 @_the_earth__ move everything to web, discord on web, x on web, etc. use a password manager and always browse in incoginto to avoid sessions staying active. use cellular data when possible instead of wifi

‼️READ THIS BEFORE SCROLLING‼️ My mom has been detained by the FBI and there is a likely chance that she won’t be let out on bail and will be in prison for years. So if that’s the case, check the screenshot

@samhenrigold Fair enough. In my experience Pangram has been quite accurate - and matched my suspicion that it was AI written. But I & Pangram could’ve both been mistaken

@bl4813 Everyone is entitled to have your beliefs, I stand by my writing, but these systems specifically are snake oil

@samhenrigold @max_spero_ ?

@bl4813 Pangram et al confirms nothing — these “AI detection” systems are junk science at best since they’re just testing for, like, mouth feel. It docked my essay heavily because I use em dashes. And flagged a part of a contraction?

@notnullptr 100%, poke is great

if there’s a place i’d like to work it’d definitely be the interaction company of california rn. poke looks really cool

@samhenrigold your old writing doesn't sound AI-written to me and pangram doesn't flag it. this article sounded at least partially AI assisted to me and I confirmed using pangram

@bl4813 (Is it possible that I write well and claude was trained on good writing)

@samhenrigold i really enjoyed the article and the ideas in it, though either your writing is remarkably similar to claude or claude wrote/rewrote part of it

@bl4813 it was all me, just ran it through claude before publishing to look for grammatical/syntax issues. it caught a repeated word and a run-on sentence, but the rest is me.

@Tech_Over_Lord @emeeliojohann @WesRoth @rork x.com/rork/status/20…

@bl4813 @emeeliojohann @WesRoth @rork How?

Apple has quietly halted App Store updates for popular AI "vibe-coding" applications most notably the $9 billion startup Replit and mobile app builder Vibecode. After months of pushback, Apple is reportedly demanding major UX changes. Replit is being asked to force its generated app previews to open in an external web browser rather than natively inside its app. Vibecode was told it must completely remove the ability to generate software specifically for Apple devices.

@samhenrigold @pangramlabs slop?

@emeeliojohann @WesRoth @rork rork is already dead

@WesRoth This is MASSIVE news man... who is next: @rork? What's going on here? 🤔

@notafbihoneypot @Joe_IO @pmpmprn_lol

@Joe_IO In my ideal world, a security Audit, but I know this cost money and you're doing this free. Native tor integration. I run my node through tor

Monero One will soon be my main wallet

@0xSero not gonna last long on the most overpriced gpu marketplace you can find

Exploding with excitement.

@FluffySlushi @GiRANiA__ because they have noone else, which is unhealthy

@GiRANiA__ How do people be giving up stuff like that just so suddenly 😭. Information puking on someone's lap.

Please. PLEASE. If you're a minor—a literal child—do not get parasocial with me; do not DM me your entire life COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED, do not treat me like we're friends. I appreciate you engaging with my content, but I am NOT here to be your bestie, your personal art critic, beta-reader or vent pillow just because I said "thank you" when you complimented my work. This is NOT how friendship works, and I get really uncomfortable when you tell me PERSONAL DETAILS about your life that I wouldn't even tell to my closest irl friends. Don't do that—not to me personally—but like, IN GENERAL. MAYBE??

@Matt1j6d DM me

@bl4813 opensource is the only solution.

#QuitGPT #keep3pro #keep4o #Claude we used to pay $20 and actually get to use it. now it‘s fraud when claude, gpt, and gemini all had pretty chill policies $20 a month, decent limits, you could talk. ask things. no one measuring every word against some invisible safety ruler. then claude went first. started cutting. then gpt followed, quietly. and finally gemini joined the party not just cutting limits, but adding hourly caps, weekly caps. you sit down to actually use the thing, and boom you've hit your limit.for what? what did i even ask? safety flags now count against your limit. one this might violate our guidelines that's one less query you get to use. you paid for nothing, because their own over sensitive filters decided you were risky. it's charging admission to a place that treats you like a thief. $20 a month buys you limits, caps, and dumber models. same model, smarter on api. dumber on app. what's the play here squeeze until people upgrade? or just squeeze until people leave? honestly? maybe just stop making ai. if this is what “service”looks like three companies silently agreeing to degrade, cap, and gaslight then i don't even know what we're paying for anymore.i can't believe this is where we're at. paying to be treated like we're the problem.

@shenso2000 @bookercodes Less than half of these are actually merged

@bl4813 @bookercodes his website batesai.org has fake quotes by maintainers for PRs that aren't even merged (yet foolishly links to them to expose the lie) 😂 is that even legal when marketing vibe slop as a service?

Open source in 2026 in a nutshell

@shenso2000 @bookercodes Yes, I saw (deleted most of my tweets about him though)

Releasing an Apache-licensed unofficial implementation of "APOLLO: SGD-like Memory, AdamW-level Performance" github.com/bl791/APOLLO

@walls_jason1 fair enough haha shoot your shot

@bl4813 Fun fact: Humans can smell rain at 5 parts per trillion. Sharks can smell blood at 1 part per million. Humans are actually 200,000x more sensitive. So if anything, the sharks should be worried about me. 🦈

Last week Mark Cuban reposted my thread. 876K people saw it. 3 days ago I applied to Shark Tank Season 18. Yesterday a casting producer emailed me wanting to learn more about ChargeRight. I'm still a union electrician. Still IBEW Local 369. Still pulling wire every day. I built an app with @AnthropicAI's Claude that runs the same NEC 220.82 load calculation I do on job sites — tells homeowners if they actually need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger. Most don't. That's a $3,000-$5,000 answer for $12.99. A week ago nobody knew my name. @mcuban changed that with one repost. Now @ABCSharkTank is in my inbox. I don't know where this goes. But I know I'm not stopping.
