Please don't reply like this on HN. The comment you replied to was unkind and I've replied to the comment pointing that out. But this comment escalates terribly. It's not OK to infer political positions based on such little i

Sure - and people are able to audit what the software is doing and call it out if it’s operating in a way that’s unintended or inappropriate, just as has happened here. Edit: I’ll add this point as people always seem to want to raise the sp

Sure - though that’s all generated by the coding agents. So it shouldn’t be uploading original hand-written code (unless the coding agent is running on a legacy codebase). Obviously it’s not something everyone is going to be comfortable sha

It doesn’t upload code (it’s not meant to, anyway); it uploads coding agent transcripts. It’s meant to be a fun app like Spotify wrapped - that’s how it was described when presented internally.
