It’s just stuff I play with. My main reason in publishing this is to give people that otherwise lack the knowledge can have somewhere to start.

This should be safer than relying on seatbelt on Mac OS. Docker and Podman being in a VM is pretty much peak security imo for AI.

Show HN: I containerized my AI agents and dev tools

I have been juggling a bunch of different tooling to keep agents locked down on my local system. This weekend I formalized a container build + python tool for my entire dev environment.

The python tool has been kitted so that the container can be easily modified. Figure other people might get some use out of having this readily available.

Showed me teal but only have options for blue and green. Teal ain't either.

Edited: I saw the multiplier table changes for annual subscribers. Not happy about it and planning to demand a pro-rated refund.

I don’t even read the conversational garbage. Only care about the outputs I demanded it give me.

I actually changed this tonight. Most of my feedback so far has been this issue, so I just changed it so the ship fires where the mouse is, movement is still WASD.

This was a small side project I worked on this last week. All the code is AI generated.

Edit: Also does this mean OpenAI can bring back the Sky voice?

Yeah, I plan to do a follow up comment with data and results.

Thought about this during the morning. I'm run the posts through ministral3:3b, mistral-small3.2:24b, and gpt-oss:20b this weekend to build a sentiment mapping and see what I get. I'm optimistic about ministral3:3b, but the other two are pretty good at this type of stuff.

To me this seems to be lacking in usefulness. Maybe if I was hard "no AI", it might look useful, but how do you trust people anymore? You can't really follow the "trust but verify" philosophy here.

The only way to really have a GenAI free codebase today is simply by not accepting any external contributions.

Between banking, infra, or government institutions, you've already got a relationship with a vibe coder. You can't avoid it unfortunately.

It is only funny until that vibe coder is building the data warehouse that holds your data and doesn’t catch the vulnerability that leads to your data leaking.

Perhaps I can laugh at the next Equifax of the world as my credit score gets torched and some dude from {insert location} uses my details to defraud some other party. Of which I don’t find out about until some debt collector shows up months later.

Not surprised at all. Rage bait has been leading to clicks since before the dawn of AOL.

About that data though, just publish that. Throw the data and tooling up on github or huggingface if it's a massive dataset. Would be interested in comparing methodologies for deriving sentiment.

Low tech means accessible. A cowboy hat works better.

I’d urge you to report it anyway. As someone that does use these tools I’m always on the lookout for other people pointing this type of stuff out. Like the .claude directory usage does irk me. Also the concise telegraphing on how some of the bash commands work bug me. Like why can it run some commands without asking me? I know why, I’ve seen the code, but that crap should be clearer in the UI. The first time it executed a bash command without asking me I was confused and somewhat livid because it defied my expectations. I actually read the crap it puts out because it couldn’t code its way out of a paper bag without supervision.

Not sure where you're looking, but you have companies like Minstral releasing Ministral 3 models for edge compute. Works fine on gaming PCs.

Edit: I doubt the "defaults" companies ship are going to matter much. We see what's happening with Microsoft and I've not met anyone that's happy with how LLMs are being shoveled into every digital product possible. Seriously, Microsoft doesn't need Copilot in their OS, they need to fix their stupid start menu decisions first.

You're wrong. The house literally will come up to someone that is winning a lot and tell them to leave. "You're too good, we have to ask you to leave."
