though this is not what the author is talking about. Theyre talking about a hacking competition, where you compete to get a secret word or something contained on some running server connected to a network protected with various means. They're complaining about AI agents removing a lot of the fun from this.

People are mad because we're literally on "hacker" news, so there is some expectation that people might be familiar with hacking or computer security.
