Oh, the problem is not with agents that escaped, it is with the people who prepared the terrain so that they broke into 3rd party property.

That's awful for the misclassified customers who will not get the attention they need. Not to mention that people talk and if you treat some customers badly, the others (the ones from the top of your pile) might reconsider working with you. That doesn't automatically make this a bad idea, but I would tread very carefully.

I mean there is an abundance of shovels - but everyone wants to dig with excavators, and there's a shortage of those.

It's all downhill for OpenAI and Anthropic investors, because they will never recoup what was invested. NVDA is safe(r) - Huawei first needs to catch it, and as AMD learned, it's a fast moving target.

This. A competent admin and a clueless user is a perfect match for Linux. Either clueless admin or "competent" user however... not so much.

Genuinely curious: why do you use them then? It's not like there is no competition in this area.

If you want to be in the business of checking other people's PRs, sure. I would (personally) hate that, and I suspect the maintainers too. Money is not a solution to everything. Also, I don't see people standing in line to pay to get their PR reviewed.

It's as if building something was not a bottleneck for startups. Go figure.

If you can't tell that the contributor used AI, the PR is good - how would they know to forbid it? This rule hopefully stems the tide of low level fly-by contributions. As they said, it's also not set in stone, there will be enough time to change it later if needed.

It also creates wrong expectations. If I pay you (even if it is $1) then I expect you to take a look at my slop and argue with me how to make it better. Just closing it will prove that you're a scammer (and not even a successful one, because you'll get at most $5 altogether).

None that I can rely on being available wherever I see a terminal. It's bash or sh as far as I'm concerned.

On the other hand, this description of situation does make one less concerned about the whole super intelligence / extinction thing, so there's that.

Actually... Server can detect if you are piping or not and serve a modified version for inspection.

But really, there is no reason not to use prebuilt packages for distribution. Curlpiping needs to die.

Why don't you? No time like now.
