It’s an approach that works and I’ve thought of implementing the same thing but stopped short because I feel it just pushes the underlying problem around. Now I have to share my creds with a black box that I know very little about and it’s not a real vault.

This should be solved by the vaults (hashi corp / AWS Secrets Manager).

The one thing that I did build was based on a service that AWS provides (AWS STS) which handles temporary time bound creds out of the box.

It took me a minute to recognize this as satire (thank you HN comments). However it does actually make sense - maybe this could be a way for OSS devs to get paid.

What if we did build a clean room as a service but the proceeds from that didn't go to the "Malus.sh" corporation, but to the owners / maintainers of the OSS being implemented. Maybe all OSS repos should switch to AGPL or some viral license with link to pay-me-to-implement.com. Companies that want to use that package go get their own custom implementation that is under a license strictly for that company and the OSS maintainer gets paid.

I wonder what the MVP for such a thing would look like.

Oh I didnt know about this. Very cool. Is hcker.news only on web? Or is there a mobile app as well?

There should be a "flag as AI" link in addition to "flag" and then a setting for people to show flagged as AI. Once the flagged as AI reaches a certain threshold then it disappears unless you enable "Show AI".

Maybe once enough posts have been flagged like that then that corpus could be used to train an AI to automatically detect content generated by AI.

That would be cool.

Maybe the HN site wouldn't add this feature but if someone wrote a client then maybe it could be added there.

I think the way its supposed to work is the agent (AI) will email the recipients saying "Bob is available Thursday at 8:00 AM or Tue at 9:00 AM"

Then the recipients can reply to the email thread with "Thursday works".
