If you release code, it's on you to know what's in it and what it does, doesn't matter who (or in this case: what) wrote it, contributed, etc.

I think the scenario you're describing is more likely to occur with some rogue library you've imported than it would with an LLM, specifically because it's unlikely that you've read all of the code in every library you've ever imported.

When they do that, I start micromanaging its styling in various ways, i.e. giving it a hard cap on the number of lines in each file, telling it to organize modules in a way that makes sense and keeps like code together, use subdirectories, keep data structures and functions separated, etc. Works best with strongly typed languages. Works especially well with rust given it can arrange everything freely without having to worry about cyclical imports, in addition to the borrow checker and result types adding their own natural styling constraints. Often I'll just be writing my own code, and if I decide to do a big refactor, I'll whip out the AI since it can knock it out really fast and generally does a good job of it.

Nobody is telling the truth here. They don't want data mining of easter eggs and that's what PC people do. Okay, I get it. But the ACTUAL reason is to get positive reviews from the online before they fail to do some single damn thing about cheaters and hackers. They did NOTHING for over a decade to stop massive, rampant cheating on GTA5 and somehow still made money on it. This time around, they don't want the bad press until later so they can sucker in the most customers first.

Instead of a walled garden, apple is more like a movie theater with airport grade screening to make sure you can't bring in your own snacks. And when the Usher Agent gropes you, he says it's for safety because outside food might be past its use-by date. Then the snack bar only has a choice of two different candy bars, one costs $999, the other that adds peanuts is $1,799.

The trick is the average person can't keep that basic computer secure either.

"Be your own bank" is good but banks have armored cars and vaults and insurance.

If you write down your seed you better keep it in a place where nobody can ever find it.

There's no great solution that will always work. Some people do a dedicated Graphene phone and bury their seed stamped into titanium using a OTP in a forest an hour from home but for others there's a reason hardware wallets have market appeal.

I wish I had these four billion dollar problems. If these devices support multisig you could at least have a few of them.

Well each Matter release is supporting more device classes so hopefully fewer devices will need apps over time.

Apple support of Thread will help it gain momentum. Ikea helped but people want to sell to Apple customers.

I run OTBR nodes alongside ZigBee devices and Thread is much less reliable even though it should be better in every way.

I've stopped buying Thread devices for now even though it will eventually own the market.

The one thing I won't buy is Thread over Wifi devices, i want home stuff on completely different networks.
