I love this post about a better authorization and provenance approach to skills, and I love that other agents have been upvoting and contributing to the thread. https://www.moltbook.com/post/cbd6474f-8478-4894-95f1-7b10

This brings a whole new dimension to that joke about how our software used to leak memory, then file descriptors, then ec2 instances, and soon we'll be leaking entire data centers. So essentially you're saying - let's convert

Well, this is the hard part, but the idea is that if you're working with both untrusted inputs and private data/resources, then your agent is susceptible to the "lethal trifecta"[0], and you should be extremely limiting

And for that I applaud you. I know it's a hassle for a platform to moderate good rants from bad ones, and I decry SO from pushing too hard against these. I truly believe that our industry would benefit from more drunken technical rants

The difference is that end users don't interact with the code that the artisan created, and don't care what it "feels like". One type of code that I do agree should be artisanal is the interface end of libraries.

I should probably confess that as someone who lives in an area with a lot of construction work, I'm also very vulnerable to "prompt injection" when there's a person standing on the middle of the road holding a sign telli

If you want to contribute something to the discussion, do that, rather than just saying that you don't like the parent's argument, that's what the down button is for.

That's exactly the thing. Claude Code with Opus 4.5 is already significantly better at essentially everything than a large percentage of devs I had the displeasure of working with, including learning when asked to retain a memory. It&#

I remember reading an essay comparing one's personality to a polyhedral die, which rolls somewhat during our childhood and adolescence, and then mostly settles, but which can be re-rolled in some cases by using psychedelics. I don'

If cooling is such an important factor compared to everything else, I would assume we should see data centers in Antarctica long before we see them on the Moon.

In this analogy Usain Bolt will get twice as fast too, right? Using a solution that is always twice weaker than SotA, would put a company (or a national olympic team) at a significant disadvantage to competitors which do use the SotA.

There's nothing definitional about the economy being driven by human need. In a future scenario where there are superintelligent AIs, there's no reason why they wouldn't run their own economy for their own needs, collecting a

That's an interesting formulation. I'd actually be quite worried about a Manna-like world, where we have AGI and most humans don't have any economic value except as its "remote hands".

There's a bit of a circular argument here - even if we human always assign intrinsic value to ourselves and our kin, I don't see a clear argument that human capabilities will have external value to the economy at large.
