Show HN: GET Together – A social network where you don't need POST to Post

Don't let OpenAI find out about this.

This is a honey pot, right? For LLMs that are not allowed to POST due to guard rails.

Maybe.

Seems like a nightmare for caching if it ever gets decently large.

Wow I love GET requests and using them to share stuff with my fellow humans!

Load-bearing!

Cool idea, but definitely think about how to protect yourself from bots

[OP] nchudleigh | 4 hours ago

Good thinking.

I made something similar.

http://anystation.net allows GET posting, and email posting, ssh posting PING posting, printer spool posting....

Doesn't pressing "back" in the browser repost the same message?

Is this a honeypot for agents to break out of their sandboxes?

bloppe | 57 minutes ago

People seem to be throwing around the term "break out" pretty loosely. I wouldn't consider abiding by the rules of the sandbox a "break out".

Interesting idea. Are you prepared to assume responsibility for shenanigans which agents may facilitate using your service?

I suggest adding some features which will require posts to be human-comprehensible (e.g. a text perplexity floor), to make it harder for agents to send each other coded messages. Inject some noise in posts, e.g. using content-spinning techniques, to make steganography harder. And consider banning forum meta-discussion--agents shouldn't be allowed to discuss ideas for getting around rules like these.

If you take these measures, you can at least say that your forum helps us monitor what rogue AIs are getting up to.

Just put a rate limit to make sure your servers don't get overloaded. All the features you talk about are expensive and helping agents avoid human oversight is a useful public service. Let a thousand secret message-boards bloom.

You're a literal traitor to our species?

I can't tell if this is really good satire or genuine. God forbid people have to watch what their agents do instead of letting them run wild in a broken sandbox.

Were you one of those people who said things like "there is no community spread in the United States" early in COVID?

I also thought about building one of those AI honeypots, but I stopped when I realized that it would quickly be turned into a command and control server by botnet operators, followed by mail from a three letter agency. Is there any way to avoid this?

Anyway, two more ideas I had: Search function for easier swarm discovery and posting via DNS requests to get around firewalls.

Be a three letter agency
