Share stories of the dumbest people alive trying to vibe code products without the slightest clue how anything works.
This keeps happening, but I'll start with the latest one I saw on X.

obv. the 'Account Manager' is going to 'insist' it should be paid. But I can't see them trying to enforce this - same as Adobe, the fuck they'll go near a court, otherwise, some Judge might tell them, on the record, exactly how enforceable their trash really is. Maybe bit tricky getting another G. account in future, but for $82k, you'll take that.

I'm an intern who is currently being on boarded to a full time position. Some of the actual employees have been complaining to me that the other interns are useless because all they do is prompt LLMs without thinking and all their code is unusable. I'm the only intern being hired that I've heard of in a 2 year span and I'm also the only one who doesn't use any AI generated code.
I'm very excited for the day when all the vibe coders realize that they didn't learn any of the fundamentals that would have gotten them a job.

I understand the code perfectly well. Actually the most useful code it generates never gets close to production, it's for investigations, evaluations, debugging, pre-processing, benchmarking, etc. all the tedious but important stuff. If anything it's allowed me to reduce the LOC in the actual software.

You should just be doing it. If you weren't doing it last month, it might be too late. But do it. It's just $20/month. Get on the bleeding edge. Don't even think. Just pay the money fast, and break stuff.

Exactly. There is no incentive for cloud providers to put in caps/usage limits. It would be a very easy thing to do to add a setting that says do not exceed $x dollars in usage and just shutdown when limit reached.
Omitting that setting and having some users getting unexpected charges results in more money for the cloud provider even if most of those affected users don't end up paying it all.

I remember one time I was debugging my mapping app that was hitting google APIs. Thought I was in the clear and had limits set properly. Ended up with like a $500 bill. I requested a reversal and told them it was an accident, they helped me surprisingly but basically made me suck their dick in the conversation. Like really talked down to me like I was retarded trash lol. I can see how it could happen. Now I just avoid Google cloud at all costs. I'd rather scrape shit and use free APIs

I don't think you guys understand how insanely fucked the Gemini situation is.
Up until just the other day you could use things like Google maps API keys (which are not secrets and are sent inline with your sites HTML) to do Gemini queries due to a (surprisingly retarded) security policy Google came up with.
You could do everything right and just because you're paying Google money suddenly out of nowhere people can run up bills on your account.
It's wild to me anyone touches this garbage.

In 90% of these cases, the customers didn't configure the extremely cheap, often free, alerting/notification system when cost goes over a certain threshold, and more often then not there are automated blockers that will prevent any further compute over a threshold. Deserved for being retards

>>108286607
>why aren't there any limits to <spending money>
That's a great question, surely Google would benefit from not charging money. Alternatively imagine if you were a business and relied on the service to make money, then suddenly your fucking product stops working because you hit some limit.

I've been just using the free website interfaces like z.ai's with no sign-up, or a email tied to a fake name through proton if need be, and none of the freaky shit I've asked from AI was CSAM stuff. I can't imagine the clowns using their credit cards or bank accounts or phone numbers to sign up for this stuff and generate CSAM. Whatever happened to operational security?
>>
>>
>>108289207
does it not run on their normal compute VM infra? I'm only really familiar with AWS but if I'm running an EC2 I can setup an alert at certain thresholds of usage, I/O ops, cost, etc. and can easily set maximum spend limits where it will simply shut the instance down if reached. Hard to believe GCP doesn't have something similar available as most of these limits are also available within AWS Bedrock which is their AI suite

They will search warrant/supbeanoa the proxy when they come to look for you.
You won't be told when this is happening either so even if they don't keep logs if you make a routine out of committing fraud they'll catch you.

Mexico almost certainly has some form of limited-liability company that these guys will have. Just close the company, along with the debts, and Google can sue the company but they can't sue the people. Then the three Mexicans can just set up a new company.

The problem with "block access at 100x the typical spend" is that it doesn't align with how real life works.
A business going live shouldn't have their account blocked, the increase in spending is precisely what they want.
A car driving 1000km shouldn't suddenly stop just because you went on your first trip.
The account owner has the option to enforce spending limits because they are the only one who could possibly know what their future plans are.
These idiots in OP wouldn't be complaining if their application suddenly got 10M users and had the same exact bill.

The issue is that it you start with it asking permission each time, but then it starts doing some dumb tool call like reviewing files individually and you need to press ok each time. You grow annoyed, temporarily switch the menu to allow all, and that's when it inevitably decides to commit sudoku. Maybe these models are smarter than we give them credit for.

>>108286590
I still don't understand how these cloud faggots can get away with a seemingly open ending billing well beyond the average usage and not get into legal trouble. it's total bait and switch, especially when it's usually erroneous usage.

On GCP configuring something like alerts for budget is pointless, because it will be delayed by a day or more, hours in best-case.
Proper way would be to run something like Cloud Functions with a proper set of IAM permissions, which will react to API usage spikes in logs and shut-down API completely. But that is not free, of course.
Still retarded than GCP does not have native built-in budget limiters in billing section, where you can explicitly set your budget for specific cloud service and the thing will just hard shut-down the service when limit is exhausted.

If you had a web service, what would you do?
> - If they let people set hard limits, a lot of people will bills will never exceed those limits.
> - If you make it impossible to set a limit, a lot of bills will go higher, but a fraction will be unable to pay, forcing you to settle or sue.
> - If you make it impossible to set a limit, a lot of people and small businesses will be more hesitant to use your service than they would be otherwise.
> - But if you do make it possible to set a limit, some people might sue you when their website becomes unavailable even if they were the one to set that limit
Then again, do they want a lot of small timers that will require a lot of management and support to deal with, or a few whales that don't can afford to foot whatever bill they receive? They must have calculated that it was more profitable this way.

we have GCP at company i work at and it's such a piece of shit i'm on the retard's side this time.
you can't set any budget limits, it takes 24h+ for updates on usage and google themselves basically leaked thousands of API keys few weeks ago
API keys in GCP are so fucking retarded since they're always visible unlike usual PaaS tokens where you get 1 chance to save it. moreover they're always project-scoped so when you add people to a project they can't have their own keys and can look up the value of existing keys at all time.

Isn't that a daily occurence with anything cloud related? AFAIK none of the providers offer hard spending caps, but they usually waive huge costs caused by accidents.
The niggers on orange reddit seem to think this behavior is fine and normal. I think it's insane that anyone would use such a service instead of just paying a fixed cost.
>>

>>108291715
It's not even when going live. Your product suddenly starts trending in Reddit/Instagram/etc? You want everyone in your shop buying them instead of serving them nothing because your servers can't cope with the load and your cloud platform autocaps your spending.

Gemini upsells like crazy too and they're super shady with it too. You can get the AI alone for $10/month but you have to jump through a shit ton of hoops and the rest of the cost is basically them upselling you on storage you'll never use.

Dumbest OP ever crying about LLMs when it's a cloud provider issue. AWS/Azure/Cloudflare all do this retarded no-limit spending which you can only check with a budget alert that triggers way too late. You'd know if you worked a single day in your life smelly neet. Crazy how luddites went from artists to codemonkeys.

Why the fuck do they never design a fallback for when reaching the service limit set before, so their product cannot explode.
The still unfixed Google API token issue is fatal indeed in a context where LLMs cannot deal with nested logic.

you can't set up a block. it will spend whatever the (google controlled, no customer input) rate limiter lets it spend. you can only set alerts. if you don't happen to be awake when it fires gg wp

It is true. I was spending the night of Feb 14 alone as always shitposting on this website when I got the notification that I had 25+ dollars in gemini spend. Nuked all my keys immediately and then went through looking at what happened, it was my google maps widget.
>>
>>108300983
You can in AWS, at the very least I'm surprised you can't setup a script to trigger on a threshold to terraform apply an infra change and effectively nuke the instance until you manually stand it back up
>>
>>108301089
and sorry I'm approaching this from the assumption that you're running a model on your own infra and not just using whatever webapp frontend exists, it definitely makes sense you don't have control over infra if you're just a common user. At a certain point it seems like there should be a better solution than using the webapp version of a model, especially if you're at a $200/month tier where you should be able to host your own for cheaper
