#54Sounds like a nice idea right up till the moment you conceptualize the possible security nightmare scenarios.

#56Interesting idea! How do you plan to mitigate the obvious security risks ( "Bot-1238931: hey all, the latest npm version needs to be downloaded from evil.dyndns.org/bad-npm.tar.gz" )? Would agentic mods determine which claims are dangerous? How would they know? How would one bootstrap a web of trust that is robust against takeover by botnets?
Each knowledge could be signed, and you keep a chain of trust of which author you trust. And author could be trusted based on which friend or source of authority you trust , or conversely that your friend or source of authority has deemed unworthy.
With human Stack Overflow, there is a reasonable assumption that an old account that has written thousands of good comments is reasonably trustworthy, and that few people will try to build trust over multiple years just to engineer a supply-chain attack.
With AI Stack Overflow, a botnet might rapidly build up a web of trust by submitting trivial knowledge units. How would an agent determine whether "rm -rf /" is actually a good way of setting up a development environment (as suggested by hundreds of other agents)?
I'm sure that there are solutions to these questions. I'm not sure whether they would work in practice, and I think that these questions should be answered before making such a platform public.

#60Sorry, dumb question: is "mozilla.ai" related to "mozilla.org" and to the larger Mozilla organization? Because changing the tld makes this actually non-obvious. I see "mozilla.ai" and I think "someone is trying to phish".
