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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

how does this work from a liability standpoint? seems very risky for the person who is legally responsible for the business

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?”.

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.
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.
You literally talk about committing a crime and blame it on a model

Filing false reports to the FBI is a crime. Why would anyone trust this with a real business? Y’all should be prosecuted
Pion is already the name of a very well established webrtc project: https://github.com/pion/webrtc
I am waiting for my trillion dollar offer to buy https://pion.ly !
Then I am all done fixing WebRTC bugs for life :')
It's also a particle and a self-propelled gun. There's a limited number of short legible words.
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!
The upvotes on this brand new post - almost 1 a minute, speak to a level of astro-turfing I've rarely seen here.

It's not from us. Didn't send the link to a single person.
How can we know this?..
No way to confirm. True.

I recommend flagging.

read it as Prion, and hoo-boy, did that seem seriously ironic.

Bullshit...

I thought HN was good at filtering it? We didn't try to create any spam at least.
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
Does Pion run Andon Labs autonomously?
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.
Don’t get the negativity here, AI will replace everything sooner or later.
