I spent 30 days building a financial planning tool for founders by “vibe coding”. Made every mistake possible. Burned through $127 in Replit credits. Got calculations wrong by 20%. Watched 23 "interested" founders become 2 signups. But I also learned that: (1) AI struggles with precision calculations, (2) founders don't want another spreadsheet—they want advice, and (3) sometimes less is more. One founder offered $50/month for the simplified version. That's validation enough to keep going. This was a great learning experience for me as I go to be on the other side of the table so to say. I spend time working with founders at accelerators and advising them about getting from zero to 1. This was a good opportunity for me to “eat my own dog food”!

Please enjoy this encore of Research Saturday. This week, we are joined by ⁠Michael Gorelik⁠, Chief Technology Officer from ⁠Morphisec⁠, discussing their work on "New Noodlophile Stealer Distributes Via Fake AI Video Generation Platforms." A new threat dubbed Noodlophile Stealer is exploiting the popularity of AI-powered content tools by posing as fake AI video generation platforms, luring users into uploading media in exchange for malware-laced downloads. Distributed through convincing Facebook groups and viral campaigns, the malware steals browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and can deploy a remote access trojan like XWorm. The campaign uses a layered, obfuscated delivery chain disguised as legitimate video editing software, making it both deceptive and difficult to detect.
