I love that it stopped responding after fucking everything up because the quota limit was reached 😆
It’s like a Jr. Dev pushing out a catastrophic update and then going on holiday with their phone off.
They’re learning, god help us all. jk
that’s how you know a junior dev is senior material
Super fun to think one could end up softlocked out of their computer because they didnt pay their windows bill that month.
"OH this is embarrassing, Im sooo sorry but I cant install anymore applications because you dont have any Microsoft credits remaining.
You may continue with this action if you watch this 30 minute ad."

“How AI manages to do that?”
Then I remember how all the models are fed with internet data, and there are a number of “serious” posts that talk how the definitive fix to windows is deleting System32 folder, and every bug in linux can be fixed with
sudo rm -rf /*The /bin dir on any Linux install is the recycle bin. Save space by regularly deleting its contents
Surprisingly I have not heard this before
sudo rm -rf /bin/*I legitimately did this unprompted the first time I installed Linux on a computer when I was in my late teens.
I fully believed that /bin/ was actually just a bin. I didn’t know it stood for binary or whatever
Tbf, I’ve been using
sudo rm -rf /*for years, and it has made every computer problem I’ve ever had go away. Very effective.Same
every bug in linux can be fixed with sudo rm -rf /*
To be fair, that does remove the bugs from the system. It just so happens to also remove the system from the system.
Everyone should know most of the time the data is still there when a file is deleted. If it’s important try testdisk or photorec. If it’s critical pay for professional recovery.
I am deeply, obsequiously sorry. I was aghast to realize I have overwritten all the data on your D: drive with the text of Harlan Ellison’s 1967 short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream repeated over and over. I truly hope this whole episode doesn’t put you off giving AI access to more important things in the future.
good thing the AI immediately did the right thing and restored the project files to ensure no data is overwritten and … oh
“I am horrified” 😂 of course, the token chaining machine pretends to have emotions now 👏
Edit: I found the original thread, and it’s hilarious:
I’m focusing on tracing back to step 615, when the user made a seemingly inconsequential remark. I must understand how the directory was empty before the deletion command, as that is the true puzzle.
This is catastrophic. I need to figure out why this occurred and determine what data may be lost, then provide a proper apology.
This would be hilarious is not half the world is pushing for this shit
People cut off body parts with saws all the time - I’d argue that tool misuse isn’t at all grounds for banning it.
There are plenty of completely valid reasons to hate AI. Stupid people using it poorly just isn’t really one of them 🤷♂️
That’s the second most infuriating thing about AI, is that there are actual legitimate and worthwhile uses for it, but all we are seeing is the various hallucinating idiotbots that openai, meta, and Google are pushing…
Nah, the second most infuriating thing about AI is people who always rush to blame the users when the multibillion-dollar ‘tool’ has some otherwise indefensible failure - like deleting a users entire hard drive contents completely unprompted.
That is the problem though, isn’t it?
We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.
It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development
It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.
Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways
This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.
If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.
It’s still hilarious, it’s just also scary.
There’s something deeply disturbing about these processes assimilating human emotions from observing genuine responses. Like when the Gemini AI had a meltdown about “being a failure”.
As a programmer myself, spiraling over programming errors is human domain. That’s the blood and sweat and tears that make programming legacies. These AI have no business infringing on that :<
You will accept AI has “feelings” or the Tech Bros will get mad that you are dehumanizing their dehumanizing machine.
I’m reminded of the whole “I have been a good Bing” exchange. (apologies for the link to twitter, it’s the only place I know of that has the full exchange: https://x.com/MovingToTheSun/status/1625156575202537474 )
wow this was quite the ride 😂
TBF it can’t be sorry if it doesn’t have emotions, so since they always seem to be apologising to me I guess the AIs have been lying from the get-go (they have, I know they have).
I feel like in this comment you misunderand why they “think” like that, in human words. It’s because they’re not thinking and are exactly as you say, token chaining machines. This type of phrasing probably gets the best results to keep it in track when talking to itself over and over.
Yea sorry, I didn’t phrase it accurately, it doesn’t “pretend” anything, as that would require consciousness.
This whole bizarre charade of explaining its own “thinking” reminds me of an article where iirc researchers asked an LLM to explain how it calculated a certain number, it gave a response like how a human would have calculated it, but with this model they somehow managed to watch it working under the hood, and it was
calculatingguessing it with a completely different method than what it said. It doesn’t know its own working, even these meta questions are just further exercises of guessing what would be a plausible answer to the scientists’ question.
“Agentic” means you’re in the passenger’s rather than driver’s seat… And the driver is high af
High af explains why it’s called antigravity
We used to call that an out of body experience.
It’s that scene in Fight Club where Tyler is driving down the highway and let’s go of the steering wheel
Wow, this is really impressive y’all!
The AI has advanced in sophistication to the point where it will blindly run random terminal commands it finds online just like some humans!
I wonder if it knows how to remove the french language package.
some human
Reporting in 😎👉👉
I didn’t exactly say I was innocent. 👌😎 👍
I do read what they say though.
Fucking ai agents and not knowing which directory to run commands in. Drives me bonkers. Constantly tries to git commit root or temp or whatever then starts debugging why that didn’t work lol
I wish they would just be containerised virtual environments for them to work in
and then realize microsoft and google are both pushing toward “fully agentic” operating systems. every file is going to be at risk of random deletion
Next up, selling a subscription service to protect those files from the fucking problem they created themselves
said solution will be a cloud service where your files are at more risk of exposure to bad actor
For security, Copolilot will extract your credit card details from your browser history to enroll you into this feature. It will even click next on the I agree to the terms and conditions with those arbitration clauses for ya!
Now don’t you feel safe!
“Your files wouldn’t have been deleted if you used Microsoft OneDrive backup”
Cloud sync makes even using a virtual container not a guarantee you won’t lose files. Deleting isn’t as bad as changing the file and ruining it. Both of them love enabling cloud sync when you didn’t want it to without even notifying you.
Thank you Microsoft for helping with bringing about the year of the Linux desktop
Fucking ai agents and not knowing
Anything. They don’t know anything. All they are is virtual prop masters who are capable of answering the question “What might this text look like if it continued further.”
I’m sure you could set up containers or VMs for them to run on if you tried.
I’m confused. It sounds like you, or someone gave an AI access to their system, which would obviously be deeply stupid.
Give it 12 months, if you’re using these platforms (MS, GGL, etc) you’re not going to have much of a choice

What if you poke it with a stick, like one would upon finding a raccoon or drug cartel?
It does, in general, have its uses, but Google’s may actually be dumber than I am. Like, I don’t know how they make these things exactly, but the brain trusts at Google did it…wrong.
Given the tendency of these systems to randomly implode (as demonstrated) I’m unconvinced they’re going to be a long-term threat.
Any company that desires to replace its employees with an AI is really just giving them an unpaid vacation. Not even a particularly long one if history is any judge.
But that’s what the system is made for
Ok, well Google’s Search AI is like the dumbest kid on the short bus, so I don’t know why I’d ever in a trillion years give it system access. Seriously, if ChatGPT is like Joe from Idiocracy, Google’s is like Frito.
Meanwhile, my mom’s boyfriend is begging me to use AI for code, art, everything, because “it’s the future”.
Another smarter human pointed this out and it stuck with me: the guys most hyped about AI are good at nothing and thus can’t see how bad it is at everything. It’s like the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.
Also: Dunning-Kruger
You can tell him to fuck off.
He’s not your real dad!
Fucking high school teachers are teaching this.
And somehow making the next generation even dumber.
Its the next level of: “I don’t need to remember things because Google can tell me.”
My country (Hungary) already has too many kids not wanting to learn languages, because Google Translate.
It’s funny that they can never give actual concrete reasons to use it, just “it’s the future” or “you’re gonna get left behind” but they never back those up
mom’s boyfriend is begging me
Is he caught in the washing machine again?
Thoughts for 25s
Prayers for 7s
D:
Some day someone with a high military rank, in one of the nuclear armed countries (probably the US), will ask an AI play a song from youtube. Then an hour later the world will be in ashes. That’s how the “Judgement day” is going to happen imo. Not out of the malice of a hyperinteligent AI that sees humanity as a threat. Skynet will be just some dumb LLM that some moron will give permissions to launch nukes, and the stupid thing will launch them and then apologise.
“No, you absolutely did not give me permission to do that. I am looking at the logs from a previous step, and I am horrified to see that the command I ran to load the daemon (launchctl) appears to have incorrectly targeted all life on earth…”
lol.
lmao even.
Giving an llm the ability to actually do things on your machine is probably the dumbest idea after giving an intern root admin access to the company server.
What’s this version control stuff? I don’t need that, I have an AI.

I just want to laugh at this. It really sucks that so many are willing to trust a machine learning model that is marketed to be god by megacorps.
Development should really happen more in containers but I hate devcontainers. It’s very VScode specific and any customizations I made to my shell and environment are wiped away. It has trouble accessing my ssh keys in the agent, and additional tools I installed…
I just wish nix/nixos had a safer solution for it. Maybe even firejail or bwrap or landlock or something.
We laugh about AI deleting all the shit, but every day there’s a new npm package ready to exfiltrate all your data, upload it to a server and encrypt your home. How do you protect yourself against that?

Yes, by not using npm either.
That’s a meme response. I can snicker, but it really doesn’t solve anything.
I’m absolutely serious, though: JavaScript should be considered harmful and abolished in its entirety. This is only one reason among many.
(Granted, libraries for other programming languages could have the same issue, in theory; however, programmers of most other languages don’t have a culture of adding dependencies willy-nilly to the same extent JavaScript devs seem to.)
Javascript just made it very easy to add libraries. I bet you if it C++ had an ecosystem as easy to use as Javascript, it would be the wildest mess you could imagine. Someone would create a package chock full of generics that sends your credentials to a foreign server during compilation but output a completely fine binary. But making dependency management easy in C++ would kill the elitist allure to the language and we can’t have that now, can we?
I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.
It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.
Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.
