I think you should give your gut instinct more credit. The tech world has gotten a false sense of security from the big SaaS platforms running everything that make the nitty gritty security details disappear in a seamless user experience, and that includes LLM chatbot providers. Even open source development libraries with exposure to the wild are so heavily scrutinized and well-honed that it’s easy even for people like me that started in the 90s to lose sight of the real risk on the other side that. No more popping up some raw script on an Apache server to do its best against whatever is out there. Vibe coded projects trade a lot of that hard-won stability for the convenience of not having to consider some amount of the implementation details. People that are jumping all over this for anything except sandbox usage either don’t know any better, or forgot what they’ve learned.

Totally agree. And the fact that the author says

> What I want is to change the world, not build a large company and teaming up with OpenAI is the fastest way to bring this to everyone.

do no not make me feel all warm and fuzzy: Yeah, changing the world with Tiel's money. Try joining a union instead.

  • Change the world into what? Techno-feudalism?

    Ever since I was four, I've dreamed of doing my part to bring that about.

    • Very happy to see techno feudalism being mentioned here in HN.

      Whatever the origins of the term, it now seems clear it’s kind of the direction things are going.
