I have an agent running on it, so whenever one of my kids asks to watch something that their friends have told them about it, provided it's not retarded, I tell the agent to go find it and it shows up on the kids TV. No monthly bullshit (apart from the AI supscription I pay for anyway). Automated piracy. I love it.

Easier than what?

I came across LM Studio (mentioned in the post) about 3 years ago before I even knew what Ollama as. It was far better even then.

Things that absolutely 100% happen everytime I - a tech guy - experiences when I go to the doctor/phyiso-therapist etc... etc... These are discussions that are happening.

Oh right, cool. Did it have a public-facing web-portal that you were able to "investigate" and that "Thirty minutes in, I had full read and write access to all patient data".

The level of credulity in these comments is immense.

If you read that blog post and think "this definitely happened", let alone "wow - this is interesting" then I have a monorail to sell you.

> Technical Background

> The entire application was a single HTML file with all JavaScript, CSS, and structure written inline. The backend was a managed database service with zero access control configured, no row-level security, nothing. All "access control" logic lived in the JavaScript on the client side, meaning the data was literally one curl command away from anyone who looked.

> All audio recordings were sent directly to external AI APIs for transcription and summarization.

> There was more, but this is already enough to get the idea.

Hmmmm... interesting, now that I have the "Technical Background" I for sure know that this medical app was 100% vibe coded by a Medical Practice in the Real World and exists! (TM)

Or after? It's not that clear, he mentions they mentioned watching a video.

Yeah although I didn't comment I found this weird as well. Chronology was vague and ill-defined. He went to a doctors office and the receptionist mentioned vibe coding their patient records system unprompted?

> A few days later, I started poking around the application.

What!? How... was there even a web-facing component to this system? Did the medical practice grant you access for some reason?

Yeah I'm back to calling bullshit. What a load of crap. Whole post probably written by an LLM.

But in any case it's so lacking in detail and so brief as to make it so uninteresting that it might as well be fake.

Okay cool.
