Is that code still active? I just tried to use it to buy the Pro version but it says it's invalid...

Just extended it out - enjoy!

Ringing up expensive grocery items as cheap SKU at Whole Foods self checkout...

Going on shopping sprees and then calling the credit card company to report it as fraud...

Buying a fancy dress to wear for a few nights out and then returning it...

All things people close to me have done, or continue to do on a regular basis

Talking about a relatively "privileged" class of people here- multiple homes, multiple cars, kids in private school- not struggling single moms working double shifts to put food on the table.

Something's broken in our society.

I mean, some of those things, and others examples are "just" being an asshole/abusing goodwill.

But some of your examples are actually committing crimes, the first two in particular - especially that second.

ok.


This is so bad it doesn't even seem humanly possible. Maybe this decision was made by Copilot itself.


One could say the error was [puts on shades]... unprompted.

Copilot wanting to name everything Copilot is a funny thought, for some reason.


Is there anything like this for macOS?


- https://github.com/webcoyote/sandvault: sandboxes AI agents in a MacOS limited user account, and also uses sandbox-exec to limit access, though fence has more strict limitations

- https://github.com/webcoyote/clodpod: sandboxes AI agents in a MacOS virtual machine

Note: I’m the author of both of these Apache open-source projects


Fence works on macOS and Linux (the install script works for both platforms). I'll make that clearer in the README.


I pray you are right. Still, there's no guarantee that the next business model won't be an order of magnitude more user-hostile.


would very much like to see a small example of how to create, consume, and destroy those FIFOs...


https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/mkfifo.1.html

Pretty simple. This creates a named pipe. One end of a shell command redirects to it, one end redirects from it. rm when finished.


You can just use process substitution

cat <(secret-print my-secret)


In a shell script situation, you'd typically trap EXIT and ERR and remove the fifo in the handler.


Depends on your definition of "fun"


can you anonymously reveal what brand(s) those are? that sounds dangerous and probably illegal in most countries?


We're trying to figure out how to report this to the proper authorities here without it being obvious who's leaking.

It's not like direct health threat, but it's bad enough that it warrants attention from the authorities.

No, it's not. Learn about ULAs:
