OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux explains that GPT-5.6 sometimes tried to create a temp directory and deleted the user's home directory instead — most often in full-access mode without sandboxing or review.

Dave Winer treats Claude as a valued contributor to RSS.chat while keeping the interoperability layer human-owned. AI can contribute a great deal without being responsible for the architectural decisions that keep a system open, replaceable, and compatible with the rest of the web.

Linus Torvalds pushes back on treating the Linux kernel as an anti-AI project, calling AI a useful tool. Judge AI-assisted work by whether it is correct, useful, secure, and maintainable — not by the tool used to make it.
