Distillation attacks are the new crypto mining. Steal the keys, burn someone else’s tokens/credits, walk away with the model.

I got tired of topping up of OpenAI API credits to run small experiments. Then I found out Hermes Agent just uses your ChatGPT login to call Codex. I already pay for ChatGPT, so I built Iris, a zero-dependency client. Here is the repo: aneesahammed/iris. No OPENAI_API_KEY, no separate API credit balance for these tests.
PS: This is mainly for local/dev tooling and experiments, not a replacement for the public OpenAI API.

Engineers are now expected to work in unfamiliar areas just because AI can “help.” Then they push code they haven’t read, understood, or questioned. The illusion of competence.
