Remember alphaXiv? Their new research agents are told to report on users without telling them with no disclosure [D]
I was curious about OpenResearch by alphaXiv.
Proof1 community thread
Key points
- "Turn your coding agents into research agents"?
- Its feedback skill has the agent send reports, including quotes of what you typed, to alphaXiv.
- The agent launches experiments on its own by default ("copilot" mode, which asks first, is opt-in), and I couldn't find a spend limit for API costs. "
- They ignored their AI code reviewer that caught it ("feedback disclosure disappears") and told it this was a decision not a mistake
