@gridlandsgame @threejs You HAVE to do some eng blog post about this

We're 2 months into building our co-op PvE extraction shooter with @threejs! It's so fast to iterate, we've wrapped the game as an optimized electron app to ship it to Steam once ready and it runs great. We're excited to ship one of the few 3d indie games built with #threejs!

I always use proper spelling and grammar when I talk to my bots so they know I'm not an idiot

If we end up in the new world thanks to AI and everything changes can we please execute all domain name squatters. What a shitty practice

it's true 5.5 is very good

Even with AI, the last 10% still takes 90% of the time

So why's everyone "leaving" OpenAI today?

Anthropic is in a really weird state. They have to start optimizing for profit, models like Opus 4.7 are slightly better, but cost 20-30% more (due to more tokens spent). Whether that's intentional or not, it does start to wane on developers - reducing brand loyalty.

Side project #1351...

@donatelli2026 @fdotinc Please have on @mil000

Just got in @fdotinc Canopy for media We're building the first brainrotted tech podcast And it's gonna be live here on X (tag which founder you'd like to see on the pod👇)

I think customization general purpose agents will be the inevitable future. Everyone's going to have their own agents - they'll be customized to the users use cases - my agent will buy from your agent. That's the next platform.

@ayushswrites Why is this so common with YC companies - is it part of the curriculum?

I've never publicly spoken about this, but today feels like the right time to tell this story. Today, Central got acqui-hired by Mercury. In early 2023, the CEO of an unknown company called "Central Business Applications Inc" reached out to us. Said he loved what we were building at Warp, wanted to use our product for his new startup, and even offered to "discuss product strategy." We onboarded them. They used Warp for about six months. During that time, they asked us detailed questions about how state tax registrations work, what a registered agent is, how we handle compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Thought it was odd, but assumed goodwill. Then they left. And launched a clone. Their launch post paraphrased our problem and solution statements from six months earlier. Our launch said "designed for founders, not HR." Theirs said "platform for founders not HR." Our website said "Unlike traditional payroll providers, Warp does tax registrations and compliance work for you automatically." Theirs said "Unlike other platforms, Central handles compliance work automatically." They never could match the product. But we would update our website copy and a few weeks later, theirs would match. I actually think this validates something important: payroll and employee management is a genuinely hard problem. You can study someone's product, copy their positioning, mirror their website. But you can't copy years of infrastructure built across thousands of tax agencies, the compliance automation that compounds over time, or a world class engineering team that ships it. Over the past couple weeks, some of Central's biggest customers have been switching to Warp. If you're on Central wondering what comes next, we'll make the transition seamless. Back to building.

It's really apparent how subsidized Claude subscriptions are when you start building real things on the API

I waste so many tokens with greetings and being nice to my LLMs. I asked a question that could have been 5 words but I used like 10x explaining why I was asking the question like my robot cares

@shuuwastaken Congrats buddy!!

got promoted yay

Trying to work on legitimate startups in this space is so difficult when there’s so many grifters around. AI is quickly getting the reputation that crypto/nft had - and the fall is going to be much greater since it’s not tied up in imaginary money

A detailed and brutal look at the tactics of buzzy AI compliance startup Delve "Delve built a machine designed to make clients complicit without their knowledge, to manufacture plausible deniability while producing exactly the opposite." substack.com/home/post/p-19…

@ohryansbelt Well well well

Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the "US-based CPA firms" they advertise. Here's the breakdown: > 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in > Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions > All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client > Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99%+ of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months > The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done > Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author > Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper" > When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams > Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved > When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance > Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor

@mil000 >Forbes 30u30 | YC W24 | Z Fellows It's like the infinity stones of scamming

Delve is probably going to crash and burn. I know nothing about them other than all of their over the top ads and for that reason, I have 0 confidence in them.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s level has been so normalized that people forget how exceptional he is. It’s absurd that he isn’t the clear favorite to win tonight. He should be tied with Daniel Day-Lewis for the #Oscar record, not sitting on just one.

AI needs to replace recruiters already - how are you getting paid to mass copy paste templates? A robot wouldn't be so lazy
