Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Apparently you can ask gpt-5.2 to make you a zip of /home/oai and it will just do it:

An important takeaway I think is that instead of Actually Indian it's more like Actually a series rushed scriptjobs - they seem to be trying hard to not let the llm do technical work itself.
Also, it seems their sandboxing amounts to filtering paths that star with /.
They (or the LLM that summarized their findings and may have hallucinated part of the post) say:
Literally nothing that they show here is bad software engineering. It sounds like they expected that the LLM's internals would be 100% token-driven inference-oriented programming, or perhaps a mix of that and vibe code, and they are disappointed that it's merely a standard Silicon Valley cloudy product.
My analysis is that Bobby and Vicky should get raises; they aren't paid enough for this bullshit.
By the way, the post probably isn't faked. Google-internal
go/URLs do leak out sometimes, usually in comments. Searching GitHub for that specific URL turns up one hit in a repository which claims to hold a partial dump of the OpenAI agents. Here iscombined_apply_patch_cli.py. The agent includes a copy of ImageMagick; truly, ImageMagick is our ecosystem's cockroach.OpenAi yearly payroll runs in the billions, so they probably aren't hurting.
That Almsost AGI is short for Actually Bob and Vicky seems like quite the embarrassment, however.
