Perhaps. That was yesterday, today there's 650+, with hundreds being tagged as bugs.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.

This is great! Interesting to see how many navigation lights there are besides the obvious ones.

You're talking about if a box is compromised, but to clarify, this is hard coded into the source in the repo, not an end-user's credentials (and it's a `client_id` and `client_secret`, not a token): https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/blob/7187c3d06765c9d3a7...

Wild. There are 300 open Github issues. One of them is this (also AI generated) security report: https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/issues/1796 claiming findings of hundreds of high-risk issues, including examples of hard coded, unencrypted OAuth credentials.

I am...disinclined to install this software.

I don't feel like they owe me a refund in principle, at the end of the day I paid for subscription-free software and they delivered it, and I'm happy to do that exchange. I just don't like the changes and the future direction and that I won't be receiving updates to the one I'm currently using.

Not happy. I recently purchased the whole suite and now not only is it now free (didn't need to purchase it), but it's no longer even what I want. And it doesn't work on iPad until they finish whatever rewrite, when cross-platform + apple pencil niceness was a huge draw.

Sure, it's free -- but it's no longer the same product with the same priorities.

Non-destructive editing sounds great!

Not all rewriting and not all summarization is the same, and the surprising part is that it often makes it seem more legitimate. There's no reason, for example, that it couldn't rephrase it in a way that conveys it as suspicious.

> This is like telling someone to learn programming by starting with assembly.

Believe it or not, this is some people's preferred learning style. See also: Nand2Tetris, Linux From Scratch

I highly, highly doubt we've reached the level of AI safety required to make it a good idea to replace (or even just supplement) caregivers for children. Nobody has truly solved the safety problems with AI yet, just doing the best they can--seems like a terrible idea to put that in direct intimate access of emotionally vulnerable children. We've already passed the threshold of AI suggesting to testers to commit suicide[0], and the bar has been raised to actual users being told that[1] and someone reportedly following through.[2]

Seems like a variation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage but yearly instead of one-time payments. The Million Dollar Homepage had a sort of early-internet novelty vibe to it, but beyond that I don't get the practicality of this kind of thing. Okay so it's a billboard...who drives traffic to it? Who looks at the billboard other than once or twice to see if they want to rent their own space?

Not all ML is built on neural nets. Genetic programming and symbolic regression is fun because the resulting model is just code, and software devs know how to read code.
