this isn't the voice of an open-source contributor. this is the openai paycheck talking. this is scam altman's voice coming out of stinky lobster.
"They copied a lot of features, but they skipped security hardening." grifter. you're lecturing the entire field about security with 1,362 packages sitting in your lockfile. hermes agent ships 225, every one pinned to an exact version, after they watched a worm crawl through pypi and poison a real release.
that isn't skipping security hardening. that's doing the part you outsourced to npm and prayed about. bloat isn't a feature list, it's attack surface wearing a feature list.
here's what actually decides this, the thing you keep dancing around. hermes agent reads and repairs tool calls straight off the model, so it just runs on the box on your desk, on basically any local model you point it at. that's not a small thing, that's the whole thing, it's why hermes agent gets used.
and here's the funniest part. you opened this whole thing calling us the copycats. then you quietly shipped tool-call repair, the feature that's basically been hermes agent's entire identity... late, and for exactly one format. so say it again, slow this time. who copied who?
and then there's blank slate. hermes agent ships an install mode where everything is off by default. no web, no browser, no code execution, no skills, no plugins, no mcp, no memory. just file and terminal, and it hardlocks the rest so nothing you didn't choose ever loads, not even after an update. you opt into every capability by hand. deny by default, least privilege. that's not a missing feature, that's the exact security hardening you just accused us of skipping.
1.03 trillion tokens in a single day. more than the entire rest of the top five combined. 5.6x your lobster, and the lobster isn't even second anymore. and of course it stings, that's what all the non-profit and agenda talk now actually is. but rewind to when you were the one on top. you blocked people. you called our PRs slop. the tone changes fast when the leaderboard does.
you didn't lose because we copied you. you lost because we stayed light. tokens are the work, and the work doesn't smell like old stinky lobster bloat.
@KooKiz You might not want to hear this, but Microsoft is full of Indians and one of the quirks of Indian culture is denying problems with stuff they are responsible for.
@vxunderground Steam used to be a native app. They trashed it a few years ago converting it into Bloatium. It's unfortunate that software development has become a lost art form and all we have now are Javascript kiddies who know nothing about how computers work underneath the hood.
Hey @trq212@claudeai, I’m a legitimate Claude Max user in California, and my accounts was just suspended with no real explanation. I’m pretty sure I broke no policy here, and I suspect this may have been a false positive from my odd-hours usage/time zone signals rather than actual misuse. This is now disrupting my work and my open-source efforts. Could you please investigate it?
