I built procinsh, a 3D Linux process inspector inspired by Ghost in the Shell.
It visualizes running processes and their relationships in a 3D UI. Process activity, memory maps, file I/O, and socket communication are reflected in real time.
The backend is written in Rust and uses procfs, eBPF, ptrace, and process_vm_readv to collect information from the system.
This is beautiful! I'm so excited to see more and more projects finally move into the third dimension for visualization of runtime and static data. I'm curious if you've played with rendering memory at all - textual bits, that is. I've been working on that end, a high performance text renderer that focuses on 3D blitted glyphs in the hundreds of millions, and I can absolutely see that sitting on top of these process towers and grids to see running memory and executing code! Any chance you're open to a side chat in some Discord or email chain?
You didn't build a thing, dude. You had a machine build it for you.

But when agents hack another company, it's not the LLM that did it but the guy who asked it to.
Strange contradiction.

There's a meaningful difference between crediting an author with his work, and engaging in reckless and negligent behavior. Yes, OP prompted an LLM to build something for him. He did not engage in a creative act or solve engineering problems. He should not feel pride for pulling the lever on the slop machine just because it paid out.
LLM companies set their bots loose on a task and failed to secure the environment. I haven't met anyone who suggests they are brilliant hackers that put Kevin Mitnick to shame. I have heard (and happen to agree with) arguments that they created conditions, either willfully or unwittingly, in which their systems breeched others. The argument is that they acted with gross negligence when using a dangerous tool, and may or may not be liable for such. If the US ever makes crime illegal again, the courts will decide.

I just find the apparent hypocrisy amusing.
I hear an endless stream of anti-AI nonsense daily - and this appears to be yet another example of it.

this looks something pulled straight from a hacker tv show that I would have thought fake as hell

now I can finally live my dream of saying "it's a unix system I know this" in front of my family and non-technical friends while pulling this thing up and inspecting my bloated tmux processes running 20 claude code instances

You could do that before, because that scene was actually a file manager written for UNIX called fsn. But there have been ports / reimplementations of it since such as fsv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_System_Visualizer
It’s probably the only time in cinema history that a “hacker” visual effect was actually UNIX.
