Exactly. As an example, read that Gravity Linux guy's responses here. I will never ever trust him. I will stay away from his code as far as possible. Asahi team: I have my trust in you.

Don't bother. Just check his replies. I would not trust him with my hardware, software and data.

So it's vaporware.

Exactly, and that attitude omg. Overall I'm glad I saw his messages - gravity linux is now on my ban list. Not going to touch it in a million years.

True, but security breach inside a sandbox/container can cause serious damage too(stealing your code/data/keys, spreading via your code/release etc). And containers aren't for security anyway(e.g. Copy Fail breaching to host https://xint.io/blog/copy-fail-pod-to-host)

This is going to get worse and worse. I recently noticed AI harness (e.g. OpenCode) downloading random npm packages in the background and litter them everywhere in a few place in ~ and in your project dir, all without telling/asking you.

What's worse is that people don't seem to care even the devs.

I looked into Zed because popular harness (OpenCode/KiloCode) just random downloads npm packages in the background and didn't tell you. But then I found out reports of Zed doing the same. Why we can't have nice things?

No, it will stop working. The whole point of min age is letting someone else taste the food before you, so you are not poisoned. (except maybe scanners but they can't detect everything and the payloads will highly likely to remain dormant when it detected it's within a scanning env).

BTW it will only get much worse because popular AI coding harness (e.g. OpenCode/KiloCode) will just download random npm packages in the background without you knowing. And the devs don't care.

Setting min age is useless if everyone is doing it. The whole point of setting min age is make someone else take the bait before you.
