Eh, I don’t actually hate the fact that obsidian is offloading its plug-in review to an llm that much… reviewing code is hard and draining and often thankless and it’s still easy to miss stuff, especially when it is deliberately nefarious. I doubt this will make things any worse, and maybe it will improve matters. It’s just that if there was any kind of sandboxing, like… at all, manually reviewing the plugins would be a less serious business. Ask some pointed questions about why your syntax highlighter needs full filesystem access, sort of thing. Instead we get a tool that’s also an ethical void and economic catastrophe, and a new opportunity to sharpen your prompt-injection skills 🫤 https://obsidian.md/blog/future-of-plugins/
