To be fair, that’s about the intelligence level of the “humans” looking at the site and enjoying it. “The rocks are conscious” people are dumber than toddlers.

#184I'm surprised people are actually investigating Moltbook internals. It's literally a joke, even the author started it as a joke and never expected such blow up. It's just vibes.
If the site is exposing the PII of users, then that's potentially a serious legal issue. I don't think he can dismiss it by calling it a joke (if he is). OT: I wonder if "vibe coding" is taking programming into a culture of toxic disposability where things don't get fixed because nobody feels any pride or has any sense of ownership in the things they create. The relationship between a programmer and their code should…

So the question is can you do anything useful with the agent risk free. For example I would love for an agent to do my grocery shopping for me, but then I have to give it access to my credit card. It is the same issue with travel. What other useful tasks can one offload to the agents without risk?
The solution is proxy everything. The agent doesn't have an api key, or yoyr actual credit card. It has proxies of everything but the actual agent lives in a locked box. Control all input out of it with proper security controls on it. While not perfect it aleast gives you a fighting chance when your AI decides to send a random your SSN and a credit card to block it.
Claude code asks me over and over "can I run this shell command?" and like everyone else, after the 5th time I tell it to run everything and stop asking.
Maybe using a credit card can be gated since you probably don't make frequent purchases, but frequently-used API keys are a lost cause. Humans are lazy.

A lot of people at $job, even ones who should know better, think they’re witnessing the rise of Skynet, seriously. It kind of makes the AI hype in general make a lot more sense. People just don’t understand how LLMs work and think they’re literal magic.
Skynet doesn't seem to require magic. I'm probably supposed to know better, but I'm a little concerned about it myself.
