> ChatHPT is a revolutionary text-based chat platform connecting curious minds with Human Pre-trained Talkers (HPTs) – real experts who share their knowledge based on years of authentic experience.

While ChatHPT is just a vibe coding experiment and a playful jab at Generative Pre-trained Transformers, I built it secretly hoping it might prompt others to reflect on how we acquire knowledge in the current dystopian rise of AI-driven chats. It’s essentially a simple P2P chat built on websockets, a nostalgic postcard to many hours I spent on IRC making friends all over the world many years ago.

Despite its confusing UX, my comedy genius didn’t foresee everyone assuming it’s just another ChatGPT wrapper, which, ironically, highlights the tragedy I’m touching here.

I wouldn't be surprised if Meteor gains some traction after this. 1.3 is a great, long-awaited release with all the stuff that should be there from the beginning, really.

Just in time for NPM-Gate too!

GenerateData is great when it comes to dummy databases.

To be fair, they are actually very transparent about their use of Google Analytics [1][2], and anonymise some of the data [3]. That is not too bad keeping in mind they share a huge chunk of that data with the public [4][5].
