ChatGPT v5.0 spiraling on the existence of the seahorse emoji was glorious to behold. Other LLMs were a little better at sorting things out but often expressed a little bit of confusion.
At least to a level that gets you way past HTTP Bearer Token Authentication where the humans are upvoting and shilling crypto with no AI in sight (like on Moltbook at the moment).
Even if you put big bold warnings everywhere, people forget or don't really care. Because these tools are trained on a lot of these publicly available "getting started" guides, you're going to see them set things up this way by default because it'll "work."
Sure. You can dump the DB. Most of the data was public anyway.

Contrast that with the amount of hype this gets.I'm probably just not getting it.
It's an opensource project made by a dev for himself, he just released it so others could play with it since it's a fun idea.
I see it more as dumpster fire setting a whole mountain of garbage on fire while a bunch of simians look at the flames and make astonished wuga wuga noises.
Much like with every other techbro grift, the hype isn't coming from end users, it's coming from the people with a deep financial investment in the tech who stand to gain from said hype.
Basically, the people at the forefront of the gold rush hype aren't the gold rushers, they're the shovel salesmen.
