My recommendation: yes, adopt — staged, local-only, no auto-remediation yet.
If you want, I can do option 1 next:
1. Install + run a pinned local pilot on Monk
2. Draft the wrapper script first, no install
3. Just save this as a security adoption note for later
Perplexity just open-sourced the tool they use internally to keep their own developers safe. 😨
It's called Bumblebee. It runs quietly on a developer's laptop and checks for any sneaky code, suspicious browser plugins, or AI tools that might be silently leaking access to your data.
It covers Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, all of it.
Here is why this matters now.
For the last six months, hackers have been quietly slipping malicious code into the free building blocks that almost every app in the world is built on.
When a developer installs one of these poisoned pieces, the attacker gets a backdoor into everything that developer touches.
Including their AI tools and the keys that unlock them.
Most security tools defend the finished product. Bumblebee defends the person building it.
An independent security researcher read through the entire code and confirmed it is clean.
No hidden tracking. No data collection. No backdoors.
For two years, AI coding tools shipped with zero security defenses around them. Perplexity just shipped one. Free.
Worth installing if you build anything with AI.
@a16z When I first imagined the token economy, it looked more like cryptographically verified assets…had no idea it was going to revolve around processing AI intelligence tokens!
The future isn’t AI replacing you.
It’s you captaining a fleet of agents—your family as crew, your community as convoy.
Ships weren’t built for safe harbors, and neither were you.
Stop hugging the shore. Chase the horizon.
Most people keep their AI tied to the pier, asking about lunch. Your AI was built for storms.
3 steps to cast off: craft the prompt, add the context, chain the agents.
Stop polishing the railing. Start sailing.
Dockside thinking is costing us.
We’ve tied the fleet down because rough seas scare us.
But AI breakthroughs don’t come from clean rooms alone—they show up when real problems hit hard.
Every test that never ships can delay medicine, art, and truth for the next generation.
Dry dock kills motion.
If your AI only gets single prompts and polite chats, it’s not learning to sail.
Ships aren’t built for harbor walls—they’re built to carry impossible cargo through open water.
Agentic setups are the wake. Start sailing.
When you build this way, you become the kind of architect your family can feel.
Regret fades when your systems grow with your life.
Rise. Build with intention.
Leave less borrowed noise, more real fire.
Basho warned us: don’t copy the wise—chase what lit them up.
AI builders didn’t leave footsteps to mimic; they left a fire to pursue.
Stop tracing echoes. Find the flame. 🧵
Ask your AI the questions that keep you up at night.
Build context that matches your real hunger.
Then link those pieces into agentic systems that keep learning with you.
That’s how you chase what they sought—by building, not borrowing.
State: Jiu jitsu mats are islands. Doing: Wiring The Way OSS—global connection, local practice. Fixed: 2026, first bridge live. Star Trek begins when we stop waiting for tomorrow and start building the systems for humans worthy of it.
Wake up. Your AI agent doesn’t ask how your day was. It takes one clear goal and gets to work while you sleep. No chatting. No back-and-forth. Just quiet action that turns intent into finished work. 🧵
Imagine billions making AI music across living code.
Agentic humans shaping new worlds with focused intent.
No one mourns the brush they never lifted—only the work they never dared to make.
Start simple: prompt first. Add context next.
Then chain agents to handle what your hands can't reach.
The tool bends to the architect—not the other way around.
