Filing false reports to the FBI is a crime. Why would anyone trust this with a real business? Y’all should be prosecuted

Bullshit...

I wish we could go just one day without a company proudly engaging in Torment Nexus related activities.

We think this is good for the world. Longer argument in the post.
mcmcmc•21m ago
You literally talk about committing a crime and blame it on a model
apsurd•11m ago
maybe ill read the article, but i mean you’re financially motivated to think its good for the world arent you?

humans are excellent at justification.

0gs•5m ago
did you link to the wrong page? because i read this one: https://andonlabs.com/blog/why-we-built-pion and it's just a bunch of the usual slop about how awesome your automated human-exploitation system is.
cyanydeez•16m ago
it's interesting how the torment nexus is starting large, and boiling the most people with the "most comfortable" lives. I wonder how long the white collar workers will keep bending over to keep their lives safet, particularly when they're building the Torment Nexus to specifically torment them.

You'd think Meta's "we're going to spy on you for the good of the country" policy would have set them a bit on fire.

aschobel•31m ago
Ah, I wonder if it makes sense to also include the sign up link in the blog post? I had to click into the HN comments section to see your sign up link

Good point. Here it is: https://andonlabs.com/pion

The upvotes on this brand new post - almost 1 a minute, speak to a level of astro-turfing I've rarely seen here.
lukaspetersson•25m ago
It's not from us. Didn't send the link to a single person.
andriy_koval•25m ago
How can we know this?..
lukaspetersson•24m ago
No way to confirm. True.
tomhow•19m ago
The post was placed on the front page via second chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308). This happens all the time on HN.

The voting is legitimate; there's no evidence that the voting is from sockpuppets or anyone else connected with the team/project. We always monitor the discussion and the voting, and if the discussion is not of sufficient quality, the post will not stay on the front page for long.

SyneRyder•5m ago
shrug I upvoted, I'd already seen the Pion announcement on Twitter and read the link. I'm also a regular listener of Andon FM, so I'm interested in what they do and it's nice to finally sneak a peak at the interface that was driving things behind the scenes

Listening to the radio stations certainly gives an insight into the various failure modes. Some of them are just failure modes that any business would encounter once they make contact with the scale of the real world.

Pion is already the name of a very well established webrtc project: https://github.com/pion/webrtc
IsTom•12m ago
It's also a particle and a self-propelled gun. There's a limited number of short legible words.
Sean-Der•9m ago
I chose the name because of the particle.

I sent a letter to the Soviet Union asking if they were ok with me using the name, never heard back!

LargeWu•21m ago
Does Pion run Andon Labs autonomously?
LargeWu•15m ago
Downvote if you want, but this is a very relevant question. If their marketing is to be believed, they would be eating their own dog food.

This very analog to the Meta executives who won't let their own kids near social media.

aschobel•6m ago
there seems to be a massive negativity to any comment on this story. Andolabs has been doing super interesting stuff, and I’ve always followed Vend Bench with interest.

as a founder it really is a dream to automated more of the business and be able to iterate faster.

LargeWu•54s ago
There's massive negativity because our bullshit detectors are going off.

First of all, I don't think it can do what it claims to do.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I don't think it should.

0gs•3m ago
haha no they admit they built it because they cannot build a revenue generating business in the article. maybe THAT is what is good for the world!
hartator•20m ago
Don’t get the negativity here, AI will replace everything sooner or later.
SandersAK•20m ago
read it as Prion, and hoo-boy, did that seem seriously ironic.
compiler-guy•20m ago
As I write this, the submitter has six comments out of twelve, most somewhat defensive. And all of them in less than thirty minutes. This seems very much like a marketing play, where the submitter is pretty determined to steer the narrative.

I recommend flagging.

tomhow•14m ago
The submitter's replies are defensive because people are accusing them of coordinated voting, which is not evident to us. The post hit the front page due to the second chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), then quickly got upvotes that seem completely authentic.
compiler-guy•8m ago
It would look a lot less like astroturf if the submitter let the discussion evolve instead of answering every criticism within seconds of it being posted.

ValueTheory•19m ago
What is the point of this? It details a bunch of failed real-world experiments and invites the reader to run their own real-world experiment with their own money?

If you too, want to waste thousands of dollars having an LLM "run" a business, Pion might be for you.

DenisM•12m ago
I like to think the real world lessons in failures are valuable.

If I have this idea one day I will search for it and then think “how am I different fro that which already failed?”.

polytely•18m ago
how does this work from a liability standpoint? seems very risky for the person who is legally responsible for the business
ocimbote•5m ago
Accountability, that's the liability everyone seems to have forgotten in our LLM-driven era. You can close your eyes as much you want during your sessions with Claude or whatever, at the end of the day, only a human can be held accountable.
mym1990•2m ago
Not too hopeful here as we see the major labs continuously break rules and are not held accountable for anything. Accountability in general is on a major decline, in case no one has noticed.
piterrro•11m ago
Interesting to see these experiments. This is early but imagine in few years there will be companies mostly run by agents with a light overview from a human operator. What then happens to scaling of the bussinesses? I would assume, just like today anyone can vibe code an app, there will be vibecoded bussinesses. Maybe its time to start building infrastructure for these bussinesses instead, its a non existent market yet, but give it a few years.
