Reminds me of Slavoj Zizek’s classic example of synthetic sex (look it up), or his grievances about today’s academia: paper written by ChatGPT, peer reviewed by ChatGPT, and consumed by users as a synthesis from ChatGPT.

I am also baffled at how long this vulnerability was left open, but I’m glad you’re at least making changes to hopefully avoid such mistakes in the future.

Just a thought, have you tried any way to triage these reported issues via LLMs, or constantly running an LLM to check the codebase for gaping security holes? Would that be in any way useful?

Anyway, thanks for your work on opencode and good luck.

I call BS on that. I can get the entire text of the article by just viewing the source, no email address needed. Even if it was somehow needed, it's trivial for a scraper to circumvent that.

FYI, they (oddly enough) communicate mostly through Discord, and they have said they are investigating the issue at 10:30am UTC - 13 minutes after the first user reports.

Can somebody brief me on what's people's incentive of posting AI slop on HN? What are they gaining here?

Yes, that’s confusing and probably hard to find a good balance. Someone speaking Greek or Czech may expect to find their language around E (Ελληνικά) or C (Čeština), but nope, on Wiki it’s all the way after Z.

What happens to therapy when we take the friction out of it? The same question could be applied to all our relationships. As AI companions become our default source of emotional support—not just as therapists, but also as friends and romantic partners—we risk growing increasingly intolerant of the challenges that come with human connection. After all, why wrestle with a friend’s limited availability when an AI is always there? Why navigate a partner’s criticism when an AI has been trained to offer perfect validation?

This tendency towards maximum comfort reminds me of many things, e.g., food delivery apps: they provide a near-seamless experience, at the loss of small encounters with humans that may be really important for a happy life.

My impression was that one of Russia's main aims in Ukraine were precisely these minerals, oil, and gas resources in the eastern part of Ukraine. Doesn't this make the US in many ways the same as Russia?

Also, I'm certain this will be spun into very effective pro-Russian propaganda.
