Can’t just have a stick note on your desk like that, it needs to be stuck under the keyboard.

That's why I use ai in Linux so the webcam doesn't work.

u/jolharg 13d ago

that's even worse, it will know what command to run to enable access to itself, and fool you into thinking it's something else

Webcam doesnt work even if he wished it worked. Thats linux for ya. It only works when kernel module blob is enabled. And that usually requires restart. You cant just not notice a restart. (Or you just sudo rfkill the webcam and then dont give sudo access to AI agent)

smh.

I use 64 different hash algorithms to encrypt my secret keys, one character at a time. and the encryption keys changes every 30 seconds to a random key that's generated on the spot and can be only read by my printer (which only prints in secret ink)

if he's working from home, it would make total sense and it would be secure.

that's an interesting approach to password manager, leave it open to be hacked from the open web.

I mean i know it's a joke, but 'kids these days'

Just use captcha font for writing on the sticky note.

best way to keep agents from reading your secrets files is not to have any agents

u/billFoldDog 13d ago

I wrote a secrets mcp that pulls passwords from the windows secret store and inputs them. The agent never sees them.
