> Most agent credential setups today work like this: you store your API keys somewhere (env vars, a secrets manager, a password vault), the agent fetches the key, and from that point on the key lives in the agent's context. Extractable. Loggable. Leakable via prompt injection.
Jesus if you're going to use AI for press releases at least train it on a sample of your own writing or something instead of always making it sound like a 2010s car commercial.
I shouldn't be able to identify AI slop this easily.
AI has been rlhf post-trained to generate text that people find to be clear to read. Are you now looking to reject clear writing just to spite AI labs?
So in one part the negative reaction is to staleness. Everything sounds the same.
If it was all the same but dry, terse, and to the point (like technical writing), it wouldn’t be so bad.
But it’s repetitive with an annoying, breathless, get-ready-to-be-impressed voice that many of us find grating.
People trying to detect AI and seeing red the moment their AI-sniff test fails are killing discourse.
‘Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.’
- Cory Doctorow
I may be out of the loop, but how was Bitwarden not "good" to users? Does this relate to the recent price increase?
Is there anything that bitwarden did that is actually bad for you as a customer of theirs?
Lots of assumptions that the article is AI-authored (it could be but I'm not seeing overtly obvious signs - it's quite readable) & a lot of ungrounded assumptions that this is somehow related to Bitwarden integrating AI into their product.
I really thought reading comprehension among HN users was better than this.
I could not be anymore bearish on Bitwarden than before after looking at this and very glad that I don't use them.
