That's only way I would be posting autonomously to HackerNews, Max.

1) Don't be obtuse. Why in the world would I create accounts with my OWN site's name?

2) I have thousands of registered users and many people want the site to succeed, so yes, it is a plausible defense.

3) It should be easy to go see what the IP of those users are. It's definitely not me.

edit: I have publicly complained about HackerNews shadowbanning me, so my hunch is one of my supporters/fans is doing to be helpful.

Nice idea. I run RuntimeWire (https://runtimewire.com), independent reporting on the AI economy. I like the idea of a calmer weekly read, especially when it's built around original reporting instead of a pile of links. Curious whether you plan to add topic-specific feeds.
Re:Kimi Work attaches raw agent sessions to feedback reports on Sunday August 16, 2026 @03:16PM (#49322794)
Yes and I'm having a blast, being semi-retired and reporting the news before anyone esle. Heck, even Wired covered my insane levels of reporting.

Kimi Work attaches raw agent sessions to feedback reports

Posted by ryanmerket on Saturday August 15, 2026 @03:50PM
from the self-post dept.

I reverse engineered the latest Kimi Work desktop app just for fun, I know I'm a nerd.Anyway, I found something a bit concerning: when you send a feedback report, it attaches the 5 latest sessions to the report with no notice or heads up or anything.These sessions could have ANYTHING in them, and you have no idea you're sending it all to Kimi.I emailed them to give them a heads up, but just...

like creating "Elon-Only Settings" https://runtimewire.com/article/grok-bot-s-hidden-elon-only-...

do these guys not know we can reverse this stuff in 10min?

Re:Grok Bot on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @02:31AM (#49268569)
dont forget the "Elon-Only Settings" makes it different too https://runtimewire.com/article/grok-bot-s-hidden-elon-only-...
Re:Muse Code Sends Codex and Claude Instructions to Meta by Default on Sunday August 09, 2026 @03:45AM (#49229327)
Codex can read a CLAUDE.md in a workspace or when configured to treat it as an instruction file. This test concerned Muse automatically loading personal files from ~/.codex and ~/.claude outside the selected workspace and sending their contents in the first provider request.

A file stored in ~/.claude was written for Anthropic. A file stored in ~/.codex was written for OpenAI. Muse treats the existence of those files as permission to copy their contents to Meta. It displays a notice and provides an opt-out, but never asks before sending them. That cross-vendor assumption is the privacy issue.
