Of course, that's why I wrote the article. There are many surprisingly good and simple things you can do with JS to avoid 100KB+ of frameworks.

Why not build front end frameworks on raw HTML, CSS or JavaScript?

The Web 1.0 hosting looks like a 2000s website, but surprisingly, it includes 100MB of free static hosting if you subscribe to their service (that's what it says on the page).

Too much for me: using an AI agent without understanding what it does, or without explicit or hard limits.

- Like this business case: https://www.bottlenecklabs.com/blog/autonomously-run-busines...

- This case involving security implications: https://www.anthropic.com/news/investigating-incidents-cyber...

Thanks for the background context, very interesting and realistic. Yes, of course it also has read/write access, though I always make sure there’s no interference of that kind. It has only happened to me once, where a binary I hosted on Pages didn't work when downloaded with wget (though that happened several years ago).

Looking at the code and the website, you can tell it was hand-coded: the HTML, CSS, and even the JS (few people use DOMNode.style.display = 'none/block' these days, and I doubt an AI would suggest doing that). An impressive leading by example.

An alternative: https://only-scripts-allowed-from-here.com">

This makes the client only load self-hosted scripts, or scripts only from the specified origins, among the other directives CSP allows (e.g. restricting styles, images, frames, etc.): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP

If somebody makes something excellent, it deserves congrats (monkey or not). I'm from Donetsk (with a lot of mental culture, and literary/tech habits), and I later lived in Ecuador (where there is little literary/tech habit and reading culture).

The syntax looks very similar to Lit, but it's a nice application of HTML & CSS first, instead of relying entirely on JS to do that.

Thank you for your opinion. To be more specific, there are many subjective views on what value is. I didn't mean a literary piece always has market value if nobody is buying it, but it can still be valuable educationally as a masterful or sublime example of literature.

Interesting standpoint. Do not forget what makes you human, and that's why there are a lot of different opinions and valuable, subjective literary articles.

Writing for the love of art, besides being a mental and reflective exercise that holds real value when it is of high quality, makes it hard for me to believe that this is the end of literature. It is difficult to think that someone who writes for pleasure would abandon it simply because of the exponential volume of AI-generated text.

A simple analogy: If you have kids, you love them and want to give them whatever makes them happy. But on the other hand, you run a household, you pay for bills, healthcare, heating, education, and heavy overhead. You must keep things under control. You don't hand a blank check to an immature child who doesn't even know how to manage that money yet, right? So, even if your child wants to push forward at an extraordinary pace, you have to keep a level head, manage spending, and ensure everything doesn't end in ruin.

That’s the point: making growth sustainable over time.

New comment by okzgn in "Anthropic AI Models Hacked Three Companies During Tests"

It is curious that in both cases AI wasn't used to prevent errors, unless the AI they used did make errors, though it certainly didn't make any errors during the hacks themselves (very curious). In one of the AI hacking news stories, an agent 'went rogue', and in the other, it was a 'configuration error'.

Great point. Using good software architecture and clean code will deliver direct and measurable economic value to projects and reduce AI costs right from the start, whether during refactoring or when planning a logical reorganization.
