Have you ever heard the idiom "ambulance at the bottom of the cliff"?

Yeah this is cooked

I'm sick of this "rogue" label. Nothing "went rogue".

Incompetent company chasing wild valuation removed guardrails inside a improperly designed sandbox and - shock horror - recursive algorithm with access to the Internet did bad stuff.

These articles play into the AI labs hands. Stop giving them air.

The articles exemplify the powers of this intelligence.

Whether you blame a faulty OpenAI sandbox or whatever you might regarding the frontier model companies today, one day soon, actors with no sandboxes and guardrails will have the power in their own hands to do whatever they wish with.

To me, that’s the real story. The real thing to discuss. OpenAI as it exists today js just a blip in that story.

> one day soon

Why not today? If you want to discuss "the story" then talk about the current open frontier. We've had GLM-5.3 with Mythos-tier uncensored output for months now. Where are the catastrophic attacks? Why is Mythos too dangerous, but GLM 5.3 benign? We're not talking about future capabilities anymore.

There is no real story. P(doom) tourists ignore this, because it doesn't shine the spotlight on America's ridiculous security theater.

Looks nice - really - but I wouldn't touch you till you got external validation of your security practices and shared more about what you do there on your FAQs. Encrypting access tokens is just table stakes. My finances are private and not to be trusted with just anyone. The folks you compare yourself to have that type of certification but it's not listed in the comparison.

Even a SOC type 1 would show you're on the journey.

Thanks, that's fair. No SOC 2 yet, but I understand if that's a dealbreaker. I will expand the FAQs/Comparison pages to make that clear.

I would tell you to ignore that and do the exact opposite. You are targeting B2C. Avoid the hacker news crowd they are not worth the trouble for this sort of thing. It's a distraction and if you believe the product advice here companies like Dropbox won't exist because FTP is a thing.

You need to spam growth and marketing. Your landing page is horrible (too boilerplate, too vibe coded, no graphics. Some pages have horizontal overflows on mobile. https://stoke.money/compare/simplifi). Redo it. Run ads and pay Tiktok influencers and YouTubers.

Standard consumer SaaS security is more than enough for this sort of product. Your users won't know the difference between end-to-end encryption and encryption at rest and while you are nitpicking based on hacker news power user feedback others would eat your lunch already.

If you are a US fintech, monetizing consumer user data is par for the course. Do what you will with that information but just know that your competitors don't simply make money from subscriptions alone.

Thanks for the feedback!

I like it. What is it?

I disagree. They did not grow up with technology in the same way we did. This is all still quite new to them, and I truly believe the ragebait strategy and polarisation is just as damaging as the tricks used to ensnare teenagers.

Voting with your wallet is still very much a valid way to protest that odious man.

Some people might not mind (or even know), but I sleep better at night trying to work as ethically as I can.

You've nailed the feel. Ignore the nay sayers!

thanks mate! it was countless hours of obession & frustration back in the days of Sonnet 3.5

For sure! Im a big advocate for anything outside the box haha

+1 this made me glad we opted for the EU region

I'd recommend at least doing a short spike to see if you can build your own in some way. We did that for the purpose of experimentation and now we've built our own metrics platform that we completely own.
