The user explained what exactly went wrong later on. The AI gave a list of instructions as steps, and one of the steps was deleting a specific Node.js folder on that D:\ drive. The user didn’t want to follow the steps and just said “do everything for me” which the AI prompted for confirmation and received. The AI then indeed ran commands freely, with the same privilege as the user, however this being an AI the commands were broken and simply deleted the root of the drive rather than just one folder.

So yes, technically the AI didn’t simply delete the drive - it asked for confirmation first. But also yes, the AI did make a dumb mistake.

Like there is a lot of stupidity on reddit but usually someone comes in with actual knowledge

Be careful with that, actually. Reddit mastered repeating an explanation or analogy they read on another thread or saw on YouTube, but being quite eloquent at explaining it. Problem is, if they misunderstood it to begin with, they’ll just as confidently repeat a broken version.

I didn’t notice it at first… then I started seeing explanations for things on my field and cringed at how wrong they were, and then I started noticing the pattern and the very repeated analogies on other areas too.

There are many instances that accept all content (for better or for worse).

The biggest issue is simply not enough people watching. But content restrictions are a thousand times more aggressive on YouTube vs PeerTube

Confiscated for having GrapheneOS? What?

Roasted coffee, beef, juice…

Hmmm… I wonder which tropical country in south america has recently been tarrifed because they arrested their Trump-wannabe…

We did such a great job with AI and SEO that most media outlets literally do not understand the basics about the internet or computers, even when you’re reading content that is tech-focused. The media is completely incapable of covering this topic, and might even reproduce the same absurdity such as claiming a graphics driver is a dark web tool.

There are very few real journalists left, and they’re either busy dealing with the tremendous insanity that’s going on everywhere, or they’re being actively supressed.

We should have fought back against the death of journalism, but we didn’t, in fact, for a little while we even celebrated it. The consequences are that now we have a literal abyss between govermental corruption and abuse and the overall public being able to understand and react.

You know, I think there might be stupid questions after all

United Statians buy a gun at Walmart and already start wearing camouflage clothing, speaking using walkie talkie lingo, and listening to tactical entry AI generated podcasts.

Do you want to give them power and a badge?

a justifiable explanation for why the licensing exists in the first place.

“because people doing it wrong would make it look bad” is a terrible reason. I’m fairly certain I can buy an OLED TV and mess with the settings and make the picture look horrendous - time to create a restrictive license on who gets to buy TVs?

Canadian nurse was fired for anti trans post in her off time.

Teacher -> personal opinion on politics = no intersection between job and statement. Nurse -> personal opinion on somebody else’s health and body autonomy = huge intersection between statement and job.

Pretending to not see the difference only makes you look worse, and an eight year old child would be able to break the argument using nothing but a sharpie and a piece of paper.

Everything related to privacy and security requires as a fundamental premise that you select your threat model. Who are you? What data do you want to protect? From whom, and how bad would it be to fail?

Most people skip this step, and then keep acting either surprised or over/under reacting to any given news. There are people out there that can’t use email - regardless of who hosts what. There are people out there that would be fine with Gmail.

There are ways you can both make your emails adhere to certain standards that make them look better and “warm” your account so Gmail and Outlook decide to trust it.

I won’t directly mention how in this thread because SEO agencies LOVE abusing this to self host massive link building spam networks to save a buck on buying Gsuite accounts, but it’s indeed possible.

I was happy with Proton. Until I was not. Tuta might be fine today… what happens in two years?

For email, honestly, it’s a major fucking pain in the ass, but simply buy your own domain and learn how to host it in an agnostic way you can migrate if needed. But just to emphasize: yes, self hosting email sucks tremendously, I know.

Your pedophile insurrectionary ex-president is free and president again.

Ours was just condemned to 27 years in prison.

Are you really in a position to comment on our judiciary system?

One is pretty much guaranteed to vote in favour of Bolsonaro, but a majority to condemn him is pretty much set. It’s only a matter of time.
