If this were legit then twilio would offer it already. People in messaging/b2c apps have been asking for it for a decade and the best weve managed is whatsapp. Kind of weirded out that this made it into YC.

Im a big fan of divesting in these scenarios but i dont know how that would help in this scenario specifically. His current role and his previous ownership made the site a target, but it would be a target regardless of who owns it currently.

classifying people's businesses as an "opium den" using a shitty LLM prompt seems like a pretty good way to piss some people off.

This thing is ripe for a lawsuit and has terrible methodology as far as I can tell.

New comment by wheelerwj in "Cybersecurity looks like proof of work now"

wheelerwj — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 22:53:53 +0000

Cybersecurity has always been proof of work. Fuck, most of software development is proof of work by that logic. Thats why many attacks originate from countries were the cost of living is a fraction of the COL in the United States. They can throw more people at the problem because its cheaper to do so.

But I don't really get the hype, we can fix all the vulnerabilities in the world but people are still going to pick up parking-lot-USBs and enter their credentials into phishing sites.

He can’t cancel elections. Stop fear mongering about that. He can 100% drop a nuke though, so thats probably worth fear mongering about.
