Fuck AI

Hot take: We shouldn't support people putting malware in their code.

The intent was to cause damage to a specific kind of user and that is what it did.

How is that any different than a dev inserting code to steal crypto wallet information or to delete a person's hard drive? It's malware even if it was written in English instead of Python. The effect is the same.

Both sides have a point. The great thing about open source projects is that any malicious code (which this was and why he's getting threats) will get theoretically caught before too much damage is done. On the other hand, anyone deploying AI agents for commercial purposes should have security measures put in place to prevent exactly this threat scenario. It's like the most obvious prompt injection attack; it's obnoxious to pretend to be surprised by it at this point as if basic security measures don't apply to you and your tools because it's inconvenient.

There are more than 2 camps of developers. But if you sabotage any code for any reason you shouldn’t be allowed to code again.

Threats are a bit much.
