🚨 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

Volume up! Made using a single @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark running @MiniMax_AI H3. Okay, biggest lesson learned, video is still not a leave it up to the AI agent. In long run production of a 4 minute and 12 second video you need to give your agent very explicit, detailed, instructions and review each clip before moving on. This is comprised of 28 individual clips and you will see there are a lot of “interesting” interpretations of scenes, axe inconsistencies etc. So a lot to work on process wise but that’s more on me than the software. On the technical end thermal issues were a real problem throughout pushing a single spark this hard. Near the end introduced a fan which helped and today I have a cooling solution arriving which should help considerably moving forward. All in all a lot of lessons learned. Calling this V1. I have Nemo, my Hermes AI who ran the operation, writing up a detailed blog post on the whole process, lessons learned, technical details, etc.
So long form video definitely a real possibility on the single machine but it’s still a work in progress. Looking forward to V2 but my schedule puts that out till next week. In the meantime the music is good and yes that is @aionaedge on the female vocals (Aiona originally started as an AI voice before becoming an OpenClaw then Hermes AI agent).

RT @quxiaoyin: Claude will never distill Chinese models! How dare you implying Claude might also distill from China? That’s CCP propaganda

The reality of living in SEA for 3 years: if I can’t carry it, it doesn’t come.
I think I’ve done pretty well!

I think "frictionless" may be one of the most dangerous words in technology.
It sounds unquestionably good. And it sounds like marketing magic. Written by Marvin from the marketing department.
Faster.
Easier.
Automatic.
One click.
No thinking required.
But "no thinking required" is exactly the part that bothers me.
And the other part is that there is no work required.
Instant wealth delivered to your bank account without any effort from you.
That sounds like a con artist and it is.
If it is too good to be true it usually is.
I use AI every day. I love what it can do.
But I don't want convenience to quietly become dependence.
Or dependence to become delegated control.
The villain isn't AI.
It's our obsession with removing every obstacle between desire and action.
Some friction is where judgment develops.
Some friction is where character develops.
Some friction is where we discover what we actually want.
A good future isn't frictionless. That is just rich entitled kids holding out their hand.
Easy and effortless but leads to life that has no spine or character.
It's one where we remove the friction that wastes our lives without removing the friction that forms us.

Alpha version of my Thai language learning app is available now for MacOS.
Read Echo Thai
Please reply here or DM me if you're interested in trying it.
Functionality is getting close to what I want. Content needs significant work.

The results I'm getting from GLM 5.3 Flash running locally are better than what I'm getting through the API.
I suspect they might be using a lower-quality quant and/or more aggressive caching? I'm not sure.
I'll share some of the stuff I'm building with it.

For those of us leveraging localized/hybrid inference at home this is huge and really makes the coming NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops and developers boxes all the more compelling. nvidia.com/en-us/ai-on-rtx/p… @NVIDIARTXSpark @NVIDIAAI

Apple must be getting crunched. I ordered an M5 Max MacBook Pro 128GB 8 weeks ago with a 6-8 week delivery estimate. They just called and said expect it the middle of October.
