There's definitely something to the idea that sports gambling and gacha games and LLM usage are connected, all preying on the same quirk of human psychology

Replit, a vibe coding startup, pushed a new product called "agent 3" that appears to be completely broken other than in its ability to burn tons of money

Fear of Agent 3
Question / Discussion
Join
Hi all, I would like to share my experience so far.
Ever since Agent 3 was released, l've been stuck in a nightmare with my app.
I've already spent around $300 and lost an entire weekend completely isolated, trying to fix issues that Agent 3 keeps making worse. My app is live, with about 250 users, and right now it's broken. Users are complaining, and I feel powerless.
Every time I run Agent 3, it feels like pulling the lever of a slot machine. Sometimes it runs for an hour and produces nothing. Sometimes it introduces new bugs. Most of the time, it doesn't solve the problem. I've ended up spending money just to watch things break even further.
I'm mentally exhausted. I wasted a whole weekend like this, and I can't see a way forward. With Agent 2 l had something that worked, but now everything seems fragile and unreliable.
If there were even one way to get out of this at a reasonable cost, I would take it immediately. But everything is tied up on Replit like database, server, user base etc.. I wouldn't even know where to move, and I can't deliver the same experience elsewhere.
Right now, I feel destroyed and broken.
Please, if anyone has advice or a solution, I'd be deeply grateful.
D

Trump is as corrupt as it is possible for a politician to be corrupt, and the Gulf tyrannies are almost unalloyed evil. But people are freaking out as if this were someone else doing to the US what the US does to the rest of the world. (Or as if the US' association with those tyrants started now)

Why do you think she'd disapprove? This is like thinking Osama Bin Laden would be against dictatorships because "the brave mujahedeen of Afghanistan" were fighting the communist Afghan communist.

TBF, if he starts sinking Norwegian fishing boats, the actual Peace Prize winner will probably cheer, just like she cheered when he sank Venezuelan fishing boats.

TBF, this is 100% a compromise pick to please both "progressive" imperialists and American fascists.

(It won't do the latter at all, partly because Trump wanted something for himself, not his ideology, and partly because democrats will be crowing about it as if it were a deliberate insult)

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
