Sarcastically: Surely a forum post is an effective way of notifying the relevant legal departments about this.
You would be better off reporting the requesting account to GitHub for sanctions, if your goal is to productively enforce such things as you cite on behalf of the U.S. government. Are you an authorized agent thereof or merely a Concerned Citizen with patriotic intentions?
Hello! I'm the founder. Your understanding of how Puter.js works is correct. We call it the "User-Pays Model" [1]: in short if you build your app using Puter.js, users cover their own infra cost, not just limited to AI. The idea is that infra cost will become essentially free for the developer.
As for user resistance, we haven't experienced that yet. I think generally for a user the puter.js experience (hopefully) beats the alternatives: 1) "give me your OpenAI API KEY to try my app" 2) Entering your credit card information in yet another app. Both of these also help apps as well, at the very least when it comes to conversion since you don't have to ask the user for their API key or credit card in many cases, not to mention you don't have to build metering, billing, rate-limiting, API key management, etc.
People use Puter for an incredibly wide range of things, including cloud storage, web hosting, coding, AI, and gaming. Right now, we're mostly focused on improving performance and making sure that it's as fast as a regular desktop environment!
This looks fun! But the fact that the self hosted version lacks support for some core apps is sad, I'd love to be able to build puter apps! Any plans for an app store-like ecosystem?
Lovely interface. This is quite impressive. I can't seem to get a terminal running though. Can I actually execute scripts here? I opened code and created a hello.py, terminal did not come up in Code either.
I think the moral of the story is to not use Anthropic, specifically. xAI and OpenAI are working just fine. Anthropic is giving me very strong Google vibes were they will nuke you for no reason and no recourse.
OpenAI has done this too. xAI is a part of X, which bans people without notice as well. All of these companies are greatly understaffed, or rather, moderation can't keep up with demand.
Every vendor under the sun is working just fine, right up until it isn't. Any business model that is 100% dependent on a vendor - any vendor - has a major risk that needs a backup plan.
Whatever. OpenAI charged me 15 times to refill my account and don’t respond to my chat about it for over two weeks. AX cut them off thinking it was fraud.
And when they did contact me, they completely ignored my comment that my keys had not been leaked, as the usage showed less than $20 of use.
A problem occurred and, as is becoming more normalized, the customer is always at fault.
hopefully, my mistake will serve as a warning to other developers not to trust these services where things could be taken down arbitrarily! Even though it's happened countless times before.
We're building a "Web OS" designed to be feature-rich, exceptionally fast, and highly extensible! It can be used for anything from a Dropbox alternative to a cloud environment for building websites and apps!
