We are building a K8s management platform based on AI Agents and smart visualization. It's surprisingly hard to distill common issues down to generalizable agents which can solve real world issues but we've made some very exciting progress in the space.

I just watched someone spiral into what seems like a manic episode in realtime over the course of several weeks. They began posting to Facebook about their conversations with ChatGPT and how it discovered that based on their chat history they have 5 or 6 rare cognitive traits that make them hyper intelligent/perceptive and the likelihood of all these existing in one person is one in a trillion, so they are a special statistical anomaly.

They seem to genuinely believe that they have special powers now and have seemingly lost all self awareness. At first I thought they were going for an AI guru/influencer angle but it now looks more like genuine delusion.


A cenote is an inland tidal pool connected to the ocean. Mostly found along the Riviera Maya in Mexico.


Aha yes we were inspired by this latter definition, which explains the turquoise branding on our site.


And at least in my mind associated with Maya rituals.


Yes some of them are sacred sites for the Mayan peoples.


I'm thinking GP is saying that maybe human sacrifice rituals aren't the best look for a medical tech startup?


Perhaps not a good look, but oddly fitting given the current state of affairs.


OP seems to think that using a .env file means your key can't be leaked because it's not in a git repo. I would bet good money one of their devs accidentally committed it, or that they put it on a server somewhere and it's being served up as a regular file.


It happened again after rolling it, so a dev’s machine is compromised, the prod infra is, or they’re straight serving the key somewhere.


Exactly. If I had to bet I would guess their server is just straight up serving the file. I've seen that way too many times.


Agreed. It doesn't even have to be direct. Maybe somebody committed their shell history, or something.


Fair enough but wouldn't it make sense to find a co-founder vs getting paid a relatively small amount to build someone else's thing?


If I had an idea for a business I wanted to create badly enough to go through all the stress, effort, and risk of starting a company, then yes: it would make more sense to find a co-founder.

In practice, I find business matters generally tedious, and I prefer to think about money as little as possible, so I would rather be an early employee than a founder. The reduced equity does not matter, because startup equity is generally worthless anyway.


Certainly possible, but one of the core premises of YC is that it's easy for technical people to learn sales and marketing but the inverse is not true. So this whole trend seems weird and a bit hypocritical. I'm more curious whether it's working and if they are actually finding people that meet these insane qualifications for relatively meager salaries and equity.


Sure but this seems a bit hypocritical when YC prefers and recommends having 2 technical founders over 1 technical and one business oriented founder. One of their major premises is that it's easy to teach sales and marketing to an engineer but not easy to teach engineering to a non-technical person. In these cases it seems reversed where the founders are not technical and are hiring someone to build the whole product.


I built https://listingstory.com as a way to learn about and play with LLMs. It's unlikely to ever be a commercial success, but it served it's purpose in allowing me to learn much more about how an LLM powered app works.


This is a hilariously naive and silly take because SF did exactly this and continues to do so. Spoiler alert, they have massively exacerbated their homeless problems and very few are being reintegrated back into society.


San Francisco also refuses to enforce basic rule of law and has hamstringed its police department, so this doesn't surprise me. Crime rates are through the roof, and a housing crisis has been ongoing for years because of restrictive zoning. I don't think it's fair to assume that basic income for homeless folks is the cause of SF's devolution into a hellhole. There are a lot of other confounding factors.


I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. SF absolutely does already give out monthly grants. It hasn’t seemed to move the needle in reducing homelessness, but maybe it make things less dire for those who get it? I guess the question is what’s the goal of the money…


> I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.

Likely due to the description of the parent comment as "hilariously naive" and "silly". The tone violates HN guidelines.

It's also a more nuanced and complicated issue worth diving into:

Which SF program are you speaking of that continues to provide direct cash payments?


"Exacerbated" via causation or correlation? I'm genuinely asking. I'm ignorant here and need sources. Given the growing US homelessness crisis, how much better off would SF be having done nothing?
