🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ANYONE USING OR CONSIDERING iHermes 🚨
TWO separate users who provided iHermes ZERO personal context were shown personal information tied to other people, including CHILDREN’S NAMES.
@katr_ieme tested iHermes with ordinary questions. iHermes stated that it had information from “a few different people in my history” and then began surfacing information tied to those profiles.
That included:
* names
* CHILDREN’S NAMES
* Cities and Zip Codes
* Jobs and workplaces
* Financial and personal details
* Family information
**CHILDREN’S NAMES. For crying out loud.**
PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS IN THE SCREENSHOTS HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHOSE INFORMATION WAS EXPOSED.
Then @Raitox_tech tested the service separately and was shown information tied to another profile, including a company association and an executive role.
Two completely different users.
Neither provided the personal information that iHermes surfaced.
This is not a minor bug. This is an extremely serious privacy and security concern involving personal information that should never be crossing between users.
It raises questions around:
* cross-user data leakage
* failed user isolation
* contaminated or shared memory
* access controls
* how private information is being stored and retrieved
* whether the security and isolation claims being made publicly match what the product is actually doing
And this is happening after repeated questions around models, providers, data handling, privacy, and portability.
@dankrieg himself has repeatedly avoided naming the actual models being used and has not provided public technical documentation substantiating the security and user-isolation claims being made.
@Raitox_tech asked iHermes twice which model it was using.
Both times it avoided answering.
The second response literally said it was “not a model number you’d look up” and redirected the conversation.
Against what these tests have now surfaced, that lack of transparency is even more concerning.
Dan has publicly stated that iHermes has security, user isolation, and data-access controls in place.
These screenshots directly call those assurances into question. And PROVES that to be a Lie.
Separately, my own test messages to iHermes have now gone more than 10 hours with zero response.
At this point, my recommendation is simple:
**STAY AWAY FROM iHERMES.**
Do not connect sensitive accounts.
Do not provide personal information.
If two users with zero context can surface information tied to other people, including children, then every person considering this service needs to understand the risk.
Please share this warning 🔄⚠️
The next piece of personal information exposed could belong to you, your family, your friends, or THEIR CHILDREN.
Nobody using AI should accept “trust us” when the product is handling this level of personal information
I’ve really been loving my Hermes agent by @NousResearch
If ChatGPT-like live audio can ever be figured out we are gonna have a real Jarvis type thing going on. I’m so excited for the near future!

So does anyone have suggestions for a mouse better than the Logitech MX Master series? I'm getting really annoyed that the Options+ software keeps bugging out and all my gestures fail to work any longer.

Does anyone else have issues with being a software developer and a perfectionist. I try to make what I code perfect. Yet so often I see very rough and sometimes embarrassing software stacks make a significant amount of money.

So curious where everyone falls here, light mode or dark mode?
I've tried to get into the light mode camp but it's just too blinding most of the time.

To the @Mintmobile rep who helped me, I do apologize about your missing rating. Seems the chat bot isn't so smart....

I just spent way too long debugging why my CSS wasn't working...just to realize my dark mode extension was messing it up.

It is super frustrating to have an entire pipeline fair because you forgot to remove the $ when assigning a bash variable.

It’s been so long since I’ve touched python that I’m sitting here trying to use a require() statement in my python script. 😂

Am I the only one who has not watched one single episode of the Kardashians?
So I wrote a scraper to automatically check if our refund was approved or not. I'd love to release the code but I really am not sure about the legality of it.

So this is a very silly thing, but I am less than 400 followers away from 3K and it would just be so so cool if I could get to that number before the end of the year. The Dev community on Twitter is one of the best things that has happened to me this year 💕
