> I simply reply that I can prompt GPT myself, if I want; just send me the inputs.

I didn't quite get this, you ask them to send you their prompt? Does this disincentivize them from sending AI responses in the future?

P.S. I always found it ironic that this quote does the very thing it classifies as small-minded - discusses people :)

I have the same problem. If my sandbox includes `denyRead: ["~"]`, claude consistently tries to do things inside my home directory. For example, every time I start claude I tell it to "run pwd".

And every time it says this:

    Bash(pwd)  
      ⎿  /home/  
      ⎿  Shell cwd was reset to /home//Projects/

This breaks a bunch of features in inconsistent ways (e.g., `git status` sometimes works and sometimes doesn't).

There are issues reporting this problem to Anthropic but they are all closed with no helpful comments:

> However having worked with Typescript for 8 years now... I'm not sure I could go back to Ruby without types.

Very true for me as well. I've never worked with Ruby but feel the same way about Django.

Btw, if you're looking for a "Rails but with TypeScript," my colleagues and I are working on almost just that: https://wasp.sh/.

The main difference, besides the ecosystem, is that we're more in the "configuration over convention" camp. Wasp has a simple DSL for specifying said configuration, but it's about to be replaced with a TypeScript file.

Wasp is still in beta and nowhere near Rails-level polish. But, depending on your early adopter tendencies, you might find it interesting regardless. If you do try it out, please reach out and share your thoughts.

> TS is very AI-native, to the point I'd agree it's near magical in terms of contracts.

I agree. Not only that, I feel like TypeScript is currently the only popular high-level language with a type system capable of communicating all meaningful information. It seems to have hit an LLM sweet spot.

Looking at other candidates:

- Rust is popular and has a powerful type system, but it forces you to program at a level that's lower than necessary for most projects, hindering usability.

- Go is much more usable and very popular, but its type system can't communicate much.

- Haskell has an excellent type system, but it's nowhere near popular enough, and its usability suffers due to esoteric constraints (laziness, purity).

- etc.

I don't know the recent developments in Python's and Ruby's type systems. They may be able to compete these days, but they were nowhere near TS's level in terms of contract a few years ago when I last tried them out.

And I admittedly have no idea what's going on with C# and Java, but I'd love to hear about it.

This looks like a compilation of emails made available through various court cases and leaks over the past 15+ years. Each conversation lists a source (look for small text after all the messages). There's a bunch of different sources.

As to why it's relevant now - I don't think it is. It's likely just a spin-off of similar renders that started popping out in relation to the Epstein files.
