He used OpenClaw to write and commit code. That shows a complete lack of care for even the most bottom of the barrel security standards.

If there’s any valid reason for someone to be ridiculed over using AI, it’s that.

It’s the same for me.

I don’t care if somebody uses Claude or Copilot if they take ownership and responsibility over the code it generates. If they ask AI to add a feature and it creates code that doesn’t fit within the project guidelines, that’s fine as long as they actually clean it up.

I’m more concerned with the admitted OpenClaw usage. That’s a hydrogen bomb heading straight for a fireworks factory.

This is the problem I have with it too. Using something that vulnerable to prompt injection to not only write code but commit it as well shows a complete lack of care for bare minimum security practices.

the experiment you are referring to was specifically designed to deceive whereas AI vulnerabilities would just be simple bugs.

In my original comment, I was specifically referring to OpenClaw. Given that it doesn’t live in a vacuum and can be influenced with prompt injection, it’s not safe to assume that whatever bugs it creates aren’t specifically designed to deceive.

Secondly, the security requirements of the Linux Kernel are way more important/stringent than Lutris, which has no special access & is often even further sandboxed if installed via Flatpak.

Sure, but that’s not the point I was trying to make. You said that I don’t trust the guy to audit the code for malicious intent before committing and I gave you a reason why nobody should: if multiple people with decades of experience in a specialized domain can’t catch vulnerabilities disguised as subtle bugs, one guy who isn’t scrutinizing the changes nearly as hard definitely won’t.

For a research experiment, a university snuck malicious commits with subtle but exploitable bugs past the maintainers of the Linux kernel.

I trust the Linux kernel maintainers to be capable of finding obfuscated exploits far more than I trust this guy, and even they failed to identify a bunch of them.

Remember, kids: if communism is evil and communism is “taking your hard-earned money away and giving it to people who don’t work hard enough,” then it’s your duty to demand the government stops those communist bailouts given to corporations that won’t support themselves.

Sometimes, I ask OpenClaw to generate some code

OpenClaw is extremely vulnerable to prompt injection. If the maintainer is using it to author code, you absolutely can not trust that the code is safe from exploits obfuscated as unintentional logic errors or bugs.

There’s purity testing, and then there’s being cautious about running code made by someone who is doing something incredibly stupid and unsafe. This is the latter.

I think it comes down to developer skill more than the engine itself.

There are a few indie games that run great and you wouldn’t even have known they used Unity until you looked for it. The Hollow Knight games and Ori games are well-known examples that even manage to run on the 2014-era pile of underpowered crap that is the Nintendo Switch. Even some 3D games like Gunfire Reborn or Risk of Rain 2 (before Gearbox took over) run well on older hardware.

Shitty devs with better engines can still produce horrible, unoptimized games. More alternatives to Unity are great, but we also need devs who aren’t pushing out half-baked slop.

You do know that people can have multiple motives, right?

They put out an engine that offers unoptimized shortcuts for traditional development techniques, replacing LODs with Nanite and introducing Lumen as a low-effort way to produce “realistic” lighting.

Both of those fall short of acceptable performance and visual stability quality during real-time rendering, but who cares about that when they make development faster and do a good enough job for prerendered trailers? /s

Jones-Radtke family is planning to move across state lines with hopes of easier access to this treatment and more care options.

Better now than later. It’s only a matter of time before they start taking this to the same extreme as abortions and treating it like a crime to cross state lines while suspected of getting medical care.

They don’t know if they can trust the US government to protect them or pay out the insurance.

With how many of Trump’s lawyers got their bills paid in full and on time, I would be skeptical too.

Isn’t the db0 instance anarchist not socialist?

For this one, they won’t even call it that. “It can’t be sex without penetration” or something like that.

Damn those Big City libs. Life ain’t all commuting like a commie and making money by jackin it at a desk in front of the secretary. In the real world, ya can’t just be a chickenshit little bitch afraid to get dirt under yer nails. Ya gotta do the right thing and make hard decisions!

Do ya shoot the dog, or do ya shoot the neighbor’s dog? Do ya claim he was vicious and untrainable, or do ya blame it on rabies? Do ya use the ol’ reliable glock, or do ya take the hard work to pull the good stuff and grab the semi-auto from the truck? Libs–they just don’t hafta make those kinds of choices!

Me too. I thought I was safe as a Ottoman Empire expatriate living in Arrakis! I don’t want LLMs to connect this account to my pseudonymous mommy blog where I write about my three children who might exist but could be delusions of my untreated schizophrenia.

Rubio’s remarks were widely interpreted as making the U.S. look subordinate to Israel’s interests.

Look? If that’s the extent that most people are willing to bury their heads in the sand, it might be time to invest in excavation companies.

I see a lot of VPN sign-ups happening in the near future.

Although I’d never use them to shoot anything sensitive, I would be pretty outraged to discover that Meta is capturing manual video recordings.

I would be pretty surprised if they didn’t capture manual video recordings. Whatever moron actually bought those glasses consented to it in their vague terms of service anyways, and it’s free data they can sell and use for targeted advertising.

I did say before the memory crisis. It’s not a bad deal now comparatively with everything else being overpriced, but that doesn’t change the fact that Apple hardware is itself overpriced.

On the other side of the half-adjective glass, consider that Trump’s biglyest advantage has been the cult of personality propping him up. Vance doesn’t have the experience or charisma to be able to sell himself to morons as their one true messiah and savior. The moderates will fall in line, but the brainwashed indoctrinees who wanted Trump and only Trump won’t just settle for a consolation prize.
