If I'm not mistaken, it's not a prompt injection attempt, but a training data pollution, in order to prepare for a prompt injection later :) great idea

I'm not sure what you are complaining about, AGPL is doing nothing against commerce and you are free to fork and sell a service using that fork. Just make sure to provide the code source of your fork to your user so they can also make their own forks, potentially making their own commercial services with them. It might be to most pro commerce licence I know.

I'm going to assume this is satire and move on...

You insist on calling it legacy connectors, but they are just perfectly good current day connectors to connect a keyboard, a video game controller, a USB drive, a printer, a scanner or the Bluetooth dongle for your Bluetooth mouse. I think only Apple decided that it was deprecated for them because it did not allow them to make their laptops thin enough to their taste. Meanwhile the rest of the world is perfectly fine with it for many use cases. You might also not believe it, but I also still use HDMI cables for screens, like a caveman ;)

I don't think it's very reasonable to use claude code on a computer that have credentials without some kind of sandboxing or validing every command it does, at which point I'd rather do things manually

I'm not sure why it shouldn't be cloudflare job to make sure they don't host illegal content. If my super market keeps distributing illegal goods, even if they remove it after a court order, they will end up having to close the whole market.

Either they should police the content they serve themselves or they accept the right holders to do it (which sucks for everyone).

Also they certainly willing take all their customers as hostage, as they could certainly split their network into legitimate customers and shaddy ones so the blocking is not so impactful, but I guess they prefer to make it as impactful as possible to be able to complain.

Unfortunately, Israel and US have no authority to bomb Iran, capture Venezuela's head of state or commit genocide in Gaza and it seemed it was not enough to prevent those either. Looks like the only rule is "whatever to can impose by violence is okay" and by this measure, Iran is operating within the current international rules

I have been using computers and terminal for a long time, and this kind of comment makes me think I must have missed a whole bunch of things which can be done with a terminal

There again, I think the comparison fails.

Fixing the hospital: single place to work on, easier

Blocking all the roads/flights: everywhere, harder

Vs

Fixing all the telnet: everywhere, harder/impossible

Blocking port 23 on an infra provider: single place, easier

It makes sense to me to favor the realistic solution that actually works vs the unrealistic one which is guaranteed not fix the issue, especially when it's much easier to implement

You feel it's similar because having access to port 23 is similarly life critical as having access to an hospital? Or is it because like with ports, when people can't flight to an hospital, they have 65000 other alternative options?

Yeah I have used desktop notifications for such things (via notify-send etc), but I'm going to accept this explanation for transparent background as it makes some sense to me.

There are two questions which can be asked for both. The first one is "can these tech can achieve their goals?" which is what you seem debating. The other question is "is a successful outcome of these tech desirable at all?". One is making us pollute space faster than ever, as if we did not fuck the rest enough. They other will make a few very rich people even richer and probably everyone else poorer.

Interesting that people call this "progress" :)
