Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

So... What stops people from creating fake phone calls with pre recorded speech and letting it run all day, raking in over $400 a day?

$30/day max, plus TechCrunch figured out all the info, including transcripts of calls with info not necessarily intended for the AI, could be accessed by any logged in user. Vibe coding for the win yet again, I presume.

Still, I'll happily take 30 bucks/day for just leaving my old phone plugged in and running a script for 100 minutes per day.

I am just a humbe programmer, but what the fuck? I wouldn't even think of storing the data on publicly acessible place. Thats some real amateur shit.
