While I like this idea in terms of crowd-sourced intelligence, how do you prevent this being abused as an attack vector for prompt injection?
- 100%. This is why I'm so reluctant to give any access to my OpenClaw. The skills hub is poisoned.
- Great point. I wrote it as important note and ill take it into account.
- I started working on something similar but for family stuff. I stopped before hitting self editing because, well I was a little bit afraid of becoming over reliant on a tool like this or becoming more obsessed with building it than actually solving a real problem in my life. AI is tricky. Sometimes we think we need something when in fact life might be better off simpler.
The code for anyone interested. Wrote it with exe.dev's coding agent which is a wrapper on Claude Opus 4.5
- Does this do anything to resist prompt injection? It seems to me that structured exchange between an orchestrator and its single-tool-using agents would go a long way. And at the very least introduces a clear point to interrogate the payload.
But I could be wrong. Maybe someone reading knows more about this subject?
- The logo is slightly creepy
- Sounds cool, but it also sounds like you need to spend big $$ on API calls to make this work.
- I'm building this in the hope that AI will be cheap one day. For now, I'll add many optimizations
- AI is cheap right now. At some point the AI companies must turn to generate profit
- Anthropic has stated that their inference process is cash positive. It would be very surprising if this wasn't the case for everyone.
It's certainly an open question whether the providers can recoup the investments being made with growth alone, but it's not out of the question.
- Problem is the models need constant training or they become outdated. That the less expensive part generates profit is nice but doesn’t help if you look at the complete picture. Hardware also needs replacement
- This looks interesting, but I'm stuck on step 4 of the web setup: where do I get agents to start with? Shouldn't there be a default one that can help me get other ones?
- Hi, can you please contact me at dd@zuckerman.ai
- |The agent can rewrite its own configuration and code.
I am very illiterate when it comes to Llms/AI but Why does nobody write this in Lisp???
Isn't it supposed to be the language primarily created for AI???
- > Isn't it supposed to be the language primarily created for AI???
In 1990 maybe
- Nah, it’s pretty unrelated to the current wave of AI.
- If hot reloading is a goal I would target Erlang or another BEAM language over a Lisp.
- Why? Many Lisp systems and Common Lisp in particular have great hot reloading capability, from redefining functions to UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS to update the states.
- Terrible name, kind of a mid idea when you think about it (Self improving AI is literally what everyone's first thought is when building an AI), but still I like it.
- Thanks for the feedback. Are you going to forget this name though?
- No, you are right. Its more memorable. With my accent, I can pronounce it as Suckerman
- I think it's a genius name and is playful on the meme of a pale Zuckerberg being a robot.
- I don’t know if I will forget it, but it’s enough to keep me away from considering using it
- No, in the sense that I wouldn't forget an AI agent called "Epsteinman" or "Prolapseman" either.
- I would change the name of the project. Why would I want to run something that keeps remind me of that guy
- I am surprised that no one did this in a LISP yet.
- Someone needs to send this to Spike Feresten.
- i like the idea is possible to run in a docker container?
- could've made it in PHP ;) to be zuck-like

- I will not download or use something which constantly reminds me of this weird dude suckerberg who did a lot of damage to society with facebook
- Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.
- This Zuckerman[0] would like a word
- That's really good to know
- Haha it's your personal agent, let him handle the stuff you don't like. But soon, right now its not fully ready
- Zuckerberg.
At first I thought it was a naming coincidence, but looking at the zuckerman avatar and the author avatar, I'm unsure if it was intentional:
https://github.com/zuckermanai
https://github.com/dvir-daniel
https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/258404280?s=200&v=4
The transparency glitch in GitHub makes the avatar look either robot or human depending on whether the background is white or black. I don't know if that's intentional, but it's amazing.
- I was hoping it was a Philip Roth reference but I was disappointed when I opened the page.
- [flagged]
- AI generated response on a post about AI. Getting tired of this timeline.
- Not only that, but the OP created that account solely to hype their own product lol. There’s another bot downthread doing the same thing. Minimally it feels like dang should not let new accounts post for 30 days or something without permission.
- That might reduce botting for about 30 days, people will just tee up an endless supply of parked ids that will then spin up to post after the lockout expires.
- Yep. It's very obvious, and lazy.
