This is silly. It would destroy traffic to their site significantly

To make reality comply with a specific government's jurisdiction is such an absurd proposition, that people would've laughed at someone 100 years ago if they suggested this as a practical option.

Similar bug to the one that plagued Codex until 3 months ago.

Many years ago, I used Learn OpenGL to learn about graphics. It's good to see that it's getting some love now.

This is why Dario has always wanted more regulation on AI. So that Anthropic would benefit from it.

They probably use Apple Intelligence and Siri inside their iPhones, which are now powered by ChatGPT as well.

So that's pretty much everyone

Were they arrested? This definitely sounds illegal.

I unsubscribed from LinkedIn emails but they still send me emails of people I should connect with.

Now debating whether I should delete it altogether.

This is what I want to know too. I already gave them my ID, and I won't be happy if they put more barriers to my usage

I have been wondering why my battery dies quickly when I have codex open, even in my tray

I only noticed the CPU spike with Process Explorer also in my tray.

I've been bitten by this bug for several days, to the point where I had had to write a script to delete the WAL so that my server would stop getting locked up from a lack of disk space from codex logging.

You can find it here: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28224#issuecomment-47...

I have been making noise about this bug for a week, so I'm glad to see this is blowing up on HN.

I had to set up a Windows laptop for work... and you guessed it, it badgered me for a Microsoft account. No bypasses working since it was in S Mode.

Ended up just logging in on my personal account and then scrubbing it after. I also got rid of S Mode.

I rolled out a home-made backup script in Powershell - just a wrapper around wbadmin that backs up an entire system image and the a standard "Backup and Restore" backup on an external disk once I plugged it in.

I even signed it and everything.

It was not compromised a few days ago, that's just when the attack was disclosed. The actual compromise and exploitation happened months ago for several weeks.

That wouldn't work because Windows doesn't understand url-encoded sequences.

Old notepad is still there, it's just in System32 and you have to disable app execution alias for notepad.exe (apps > advanced app settings > app execution aliases)

How did they regress to HTTP from HTTPS?

The hackers already have it.

There is no reason to hide it from the general public.

Thinking I'll just create a clone of JuiceSSH myself and make all the stuff FOSS. I don't like developers who fleece me out of my purchases.
