Mich from Warp here. Telemetry is completely optional in Warp.

#5I don't think there is any point to a cloud-spyware terminal, nor should anyone that is security-minded ever touch this thing. Not only that, why are they trying to charge money for a terminal? We already have a dozen better terminals, and they're already FOSS!
I've read through the marketing material, and all they keep doing is repeatedly claiming that they protect your privacy, yet upload everything you do to the cloud and are using it to build an LLM. This will leak internal details of your actions on your own machines, and is probably banned at most companies de facto due to internal policy.
They are also attempting to reputation-wash by moving from Electron to Rust. Certainly, their engineering team made a great decision by dropping the cursed performance-killer spawned from the unholy union of NodeJS and Chrome, but there is no reason for this product to exist in the first place!
Edit: Also, watch out, employees from Warp are lurking about in the HN comments here.

2. Is there a two minute tldr? (aka What are the key concepts?)
3. What is the evolutionary path from rxvt to this?

#8No source code? For a terminal?! Fuck no. In the trash this goes. Permanently not ever giving this a second look.
