thrown-0825··on Will AI Replace Human Thinking? The Case for Writing and Coding Manually
ai gen code is slow, tedious to review, generally shit, and a waste of time.

if you need gen ai to be an efficient dev then you are bad at your job.

this is going in the opposite direction.

we need to be sandboxing agents, not giving them a bigger surface area to fuck up your repo.

Listening to googlers drone on about their byzantine corporate structure and acronyms is always so bizarre.

Reminds me of severance and the polite little drones reciting their eigan lore.

Google is a blight on our society.

lmao, HN is full of people who make a living building the things you want to revolt against.

this forum is an echo chamber for over paid boot lickers.

claude code should be shipped in a sandbox by default, its crazy that it isnt.

this product shouldnt be shipped at all.

this existed over a decade ago.

it was a security and spam nightmare then, and it still is now.

the engineers who agreed to help build this should be liable for damages.

this is such a poorly thought out and executed product that is going to open up a whole new class of browser based exploits.

thrown-0825··on Show HN: Stagewise – frontend coding agent for real codebases
this should be sandboxed by default, running agents directly on the host is a horrible idea.
thrown-0825··on Comet AI browser can get prompt injected from any site, drain your bank account
claude code expects to be running on the host machine, its insecure by design.

you can containerize it, which I do, but then you are going to need to spend some time updating claude.md and constantly fighting the agent because it fails to understand that it is running in a container / vm.

its a stupid design, and the people running these things directly on their hosts are nuts.

thrown-0825··on Comet AI browser can get prompt injected from any site, drain your bank account
its a steady stream of naive start ups run by people who think starting a company is something you do at the beginning of your career with no experience vs the end of your career with decades of experience.
thrown-0825··on Comet AI browser can get prompt injected from any site, drain your bank account
claude code literally runs on your host machine and can run arbitrary commmands.

the fact that these agents are shipped without sandboxing by default is insane and says a lot about how little these orgs value security.
