I'd suggest to use ssh keys inside the secure enclave on macOS that require your fingerprint for every new session [0]. That way agents cannot initiate anything, and you will always be aware when a new ssh connection is being made.

It's amazing how often product decisions head this way for the purposes of 'removing friction'.

In security, friction is a GOOD thing. You want to have some ceremony to do things. It's pretty much inevitable that people will give up control for convenience.

Look at Artifacts for example.

Of course it does. That's what the codex <> chat merge is about.

But that's what they're giving as the "real reason" for what really is raising prices for the subscription. Nobody wants it (certainly not applied globally to everything like it is), but they're still going to do it. I even know someone who works at OpenAI and there's apparently a few people trying to fight it at least internally.

Given Sam Altman's speech about how he wants OpenAI pricing to work, I don't think this can be stopped. Btw: that is that you type something into ChatGPT and instead of subscription or per-token cost or anything like that, as soon as you type something in, anything, the way he sees it, ChatGPT would give you a cost for that specific answer and you'd agree or not.

I just feel like this guy is an even worse example of not seeing the viewpoint of a normal (you know non-millionaire) person than even Google's leadership. Can I just say "I think Google is going to win from Altman", you know, despite OpenAI having the far superior technology ...
