A lot of sites that invest heavily in security leave low hanging fruit because their security efforts are not focused on all fronts. [Ex: A company might be investing a lot of resources making sure Application Code is secure (Application Security) but leave an insecure s3 bucket (Cloud Security)].

It is possible that your agent exploited these structural gaps.

The phases your agent executed mirror standard workflows used by existing, generic systems (e.g., Claude Code, Antigravity Agent, Codex). I'm sure any of these generic agents would find the same vulnerabilities that your agent found. The article makes it seem like your agent is novel technology when it's not.

Frontier models already had all the Q/A in their training dataset and there's not much activity there anymore so very little use for searching new Q/A.

I find it hard to Google stuff anymore, the AI helps even if it has a tendency to be wrong/inaccurate 20-25% of the time. It's pretty helpful when I'm asking a question that has a binary answer.

"Privacy is dangerous" - i never said that.

Internet pseudonymity from other strangers on a public forum is very different from being anti-surveillance. I am not sure how you could equate the two.

I would have absolutely no problem if the state contacted HN to obtain my IP access logs and other identifying information if I were to post something illegal here. Expecting privacy from random internet users is not the same thing as demanding immunity from law enforcement.

The cost is manageable as long as it's used for the right reasons and that the data is kept secure. The benefits of deterring violence outweigh those risks.

Billionaires may be a bigger threat but criminals are a threat nonetheless.

> But the flip side is the anti-capture mechanism isn’t “the community decides.” It’s “Chris and Andreas decide, forever.”

You mention earlier that Chris and Andreas can sign off on any bylaws change. Since they can amend the bylaws, they can decentralize governance as the project matures. "Forever" is a stretch.
