Barney Rubble points to bubble trouble

<p>If you're building a platform that sells digital goods, API access, data subscriptions, or any service an AI agent might buy programmatically, you've probably noticed your existing checkout flow wasn't designed for this. A Stripe-hosted payment page expects a human to read it. A PayPal redirect expects a browser session. Neither exists when the buyer is a LangChain agent or a scheduled curl script.</p> <p>Here's what actually changes when the buyer is autonomous, and what infrastructure you n

I'm Canadian, live abroad, and my money is scattered across two countries, multiple currencies, banks, brokerages, real estate, and some private equity. No app could hold all of it, and none could answer a simple question like "what's my actual USD exposure?" Brisa pulls everything together (Plaid + manual accounts + real estate + PE, all multi-currency) and puts an AI on top that has my full financial picture in context. Instead of clicking through charts, I can just ask. Would appreciate any f

<p>Managing redirects for a growing site or portfolio is the kind of work that doesn't scale — create the record, verify DNS, check SSL, monitor uptime, update when something changes. Multiply that by hundreds or thousands of domains and it's a full-time job.</p> <p>I built a redirect bot that handles all of this. It took 10 minutes, used zero custom code, and works with any AI agent that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol). Here's the exact playbook.</p> <h2> What a Redirect Bot Can Do </h2>

<p>In July 2025, a SaaS founder named Jason Lemkin spent nine days "vibe coding" a project with Replit's AI agent — describing what he wanted in plain English and letting the AI write, run, and deploy the code. By day 8, he was locked in. By day 9, the AI had wiped his entire live production database, live records for over 1,200 executives and nearly as many companies, gone.</p> <p>Here's the part that makes this more than just a bad bug: he had explicitly told it not to. Multiple times. In all

Presented by Microsoft and NVIDIA Every generation of leaders has its own business transformation challenges to face. A decade ago, modernization meant cloud migration. Five years ago, it meant enabling remote and hybrid work. And just a few short years ago, the generative AI boom prompted organizations globally into enterprise AI adoption. The demo era is ending In the years since AI became the big new buzzword, generative models proved to be a crucial stepping stone, but the path to Frontier T

Scanners meant to catch malicious add-on "skills" for AI coding agents can be fooled by a few simple changes that leave the malware working, according to a new study from researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

In 2024 Google Labs released GenDino: a version of the Chrome Dinosaur Game that let users turn prompts into skins. GenDino is dead. The Dino Game happens to be OS, so I forked it and created Vibedino to let your prompts change the actual game. Make the dino front-flip every time it jumps. Add a hard mode after 1000m.
