You're mixing motivation and end goal. Just because their motivations aren't purely charitable doesn't mean the end goal must be nefarious.

If not even OpenAI can properly box in their models I definitely won't trust myself to do so with the very limited time available to me, and instead just use a standard that's already defined, and proven to work.

What if I don't want my agent to have terminal access though? I get the feeling many people here simply never worked with smaller models, those will confuse cli args really quickly once context expands, and then you have no idea what damage they might do. With MCP's, they get just the access they actually need. Is the Principle of least privilege just not something we want to apply anymore?

yeh i tried pi, as a neovim user i naturally like customizability, but with how little i use agents, i want something that just works, which opencode does for me.

How is that a problem that's unique to openrouter? Who's to say when I query the Anthropic API directly, wanting to use Opus, but they determine it doesn' need Opus, route it to Sonnet instead and pocket the difference? The only difference with openrouter is that it's another layer where this type of fraud could occur.

this type of sh*t is why i'm glad i didn't switch from neovim to zed

this is a discussion we often have where I work, where we're debating removing a feature due to difficulties maintaining it and few people needing it. I usually fight to keep it, with the argument "we aren't doing it for the people that don't need it, but for the ones that do." But at the end of the day, I'm not the one who has to pay for it.

I think it' very debatable whether or not this should be a web page's behaviour.

remember, this is the worst AI is going to be...

that website is horrendous to look at on an eink display btw

you realize reading books isn't a zero-sum game right? I can still read more books, it didn't end with Clean Code

eh, when I read it as a newbie it was really helpful. still had to make my own experiences and judgments, but overall I think reading it made me a better programmer

Couldn't agree more - down to the shitty ms paint recommendation

Started out with "It's not X, it's also Y", followed by an em-dash. I didn't read any further than that.

A is good, it's grounded. C is just based
