Looks like this was what was supposed to be there: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20240524233434&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nj.puter.site&#x2F;web-os&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20240524233434&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nj.puter....</a><p>Sounds very suspect to me...<p>About their GPT-4 api:<p>&gt; No need to sign up for an API key, no need to worry about rate limits, and no need to worry about security.<p>Who is paying for the compute? I&#x27;m pretty sure that cannot run locally on my device. What is the security model that makes it so you can say I don&#x27;t need to worry about it? The same goes for the filesystem and key-value storage they mentioned. If they are just local to the device then how is it an alternative to the cloud?<p>&gt; That&#x27;s it! No servers, no DevOps, no API keys, no security issues.<p>Saying &quot;no security issues&quot; is ridiculously overconfident and I would like to see the security model that makes them so confident.<p>I tried to run their chat example and just got server errors from the puter app.

how many puters can you nest? I got bored around three, but I think you can keep going. it has a browser capable of hosting itself!
