Claiming that iTerm2 is only a single key press away from silently registering an OpenAI account, entering your credit card number, and sending non-participating users’ shell pipeline data straight to Sam Altman is possibly the most moronically incompetent and shamefully/pitifully fearful objection since Kevin mitnick was going to launch the nukes by whistling into a prison pay phone.
If you don’t want to use the feature then don’t register the account and don’t use the feature. But there is no reasonable fear or justification for that sort of claim and frankly it just makes you look like an idiot, imagine your grandchildren reading that, how are they not gonna think that grandpa was a moron who bought into some dumb Luddite backlash against a technology that will be as absolutely routine as alternating current by that point?
People forget they’re on the record with history here, try to at least maintain some bare minimum of plausibility. This isn’t the type of statement that is going to age like, at all. It’ll look dumb in a year, as soon as people move onto the next dumb protest thing the inertia will fade.
- amanzi 2y agoYou're right - we're all on the record here, but I'll ignore your personal insults. I guess you didn't read what I wrote: "...the generated code is a single key-press away from being sent to a remote server" - this is an accurate statement. I have no idea where you got the rest of your comment from, perhaps you replied to the wrong person?
