When @zcode_ai vuln was exposed, @Zai_org came with "trust build". Now @opencode incident is a useful watch on how they gain "trust", given they anyway offer free tokens and more importantly, free tokens no longer hold currency of trust

All metro systems lie about the projected ridership in their DPRs to get approval, some more than others. We need rational guidelines so that the DRPs dont need to have inflated values.

Another interesting piece in this @opencode hack is that folks are going to start asking questions. And maybe refunds. Which in turn is going to cast an interesting light on who exactly collects what data and logs what, therefore can prove liability or not.

ruh-roh. the agentic internet requires some better security. assume your user data is 100% going to be targeted. Go in with that mindset from day 1.
We had a security breach last night related to a large scale distillation attack that impacted 1.4% of OpenCode Console users We have notified them all this morning via email. If you did not get an email you were not impacted, it was a subset of users who had external providers linked The incident is ongoing so we cannot share more details at this point but we are working with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to remediate

A company with ₹4.6 lakh paid-up capital. The state's surveillance contracts. A vendor who went to the police over ₹4.55 crore. Who pays? That's the question. An evidence-stamped dossier, 2:18. 🧵

2021: the corporation scrapped a ₹2.5 cr social-media contract before signing it. A robot-tender bid-pairing claim also exists — unverified, labelled as such. [press] Claims labelled. Convictions not issued.
