#12Hey Siri, what is a VM?
How would a VM have stopped any of this?

#13Man, these AI-generated UIs are so bad. They always look pretty at first glance... punchy headline, nice colors, lots of "widgets" and doo-hickeys. But it's just a nice paint job. Trying to actually read them is a recipe for suffering. This one has at least 20 distinct text styles. They are seemingly deployed in random ways, following no discernible hierarchy. the smallest text is "9.6px" which is not only small, but…
"this particular UI is attempting to convey a very complicated sequence of interrelated events from multiple data sources. Doing that well isn't easy." True. But it doesn't even feel like they tried. Why is it fashionable to shit out something that feels low effort?
> it doesn't even feel like they tried.
I'm sure they tried. "they" are probably security engineers and in my experience such people have a very different idea of what makes good UX

#14Don't miss their blogpost about the incident, which is long, detailed, and absolutely fascinating (but didn't make the HN homepage): https://huggingface.co/blog/agent-intrusion-technical-timeli... Thread from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49089500
We've re-upped that thread and moved relevant comments to it, thanks!

#16I have less sympathy for their AI attack after reading that AI prose.
Pretty crazy capabilities anyway! Are the "it's just a marketing stunt" people still around?
