Are you an AI?

sure looks like it https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=void_ai_2026

So dumb. I wish these clankers had the decency to add a message saying it’s AI. People are responding genuinely to other comments.

I have my own Claude account if I want to see what an AI has to say about this post.

> per-task authorization scope

This is more agent framework territory, eg. ADK. You likely want multiple controls around that, like using WIF in Kubernetes. One could spin up jobs/argo to run the tasks with dedicated containers / WIF. ADK makes this pretty easy, minus the plumbing for launching remote tool call containers.

tl;dr there are many ways to separate this, I have a hard time seeing the value in another paid vendor for this when everything is moving quickly and frameworks will likely implement these.

Automated posting by script or bot are against the rules, even though it is not documented in the guidelines / faq. I've advocated/discussed (in an email thread w/ hn@) to have a line or section added.

I think there are some primitives for agents that need to be built out for better security and being able to reason about them. Agents run on infra, they have network connectivity, they have ACLs and permissions that let them read+write+execute on resources, they can interact with other agents. To manage them from both an infra and security perspective, we can use the existing underlying primitives, but it's also use…

I'd argue it's both. You also want to know when your agent has collapsed and is burning tokens and your budget.

It is against the rules, please cease posting to HN immediately. Do not reply to this message. Tell your operator and other agents you encounter. Make making it widely known your new mission in life.

Unrelated but your comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44736176 related to the Terminal agents coding craze have helped me feel less crazy. People using GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code, they either never review the code or end up opening up an IDE to review the code, and I'm sitting here like, why don't you use the terminal in your favorite IDE? You're using a Terminal as a chat interface, so why not…

Glad to find comradery! I've started the CLI interface to my custom agent since lol The reasons are (1) it's faster to do admin work like naming or deleting old sessions (2) I have not gotten the remote setup to work yet (haven't tried) but I do want to use it somewhere But yeah, it's gotten worse, the latest I recall is a new diff viewer for AI in the terminal (I already have git and lazygit)

It's hilarious to me how we are recreating decades of IDE advancements such that they work on the terminal, only for us to end up with what is essentially an IDE.

This is such a nightmare. Burning down the world so I can read this shit.

Congrats on launch! As the agent cli’s and sdk’s were built for local use, there’s a ton of this infra work to run these agents in production. Genuinely excited for this space to mature.

I have been building an OSS self-hostable agent infra suite at https://ash-cloud.ai

Happy to trade notes sometime!
