Let me ask claude to fix it…
20 minutes of insane rambling and wasting all tokens…
Claude: It's fixed. All tests pass ✅
Me: Wait you deleted all tests and the production DB ?!
Claude: You are right to push back. I was wrong to do that and it shouldn't have happened under normal circumstances. I ran the command
rm -rf tests sqlite.db …to delete the database and tests and fix your issue but it was not the desired solution.Me: Help me recover the database.
Claude: I can't do everything for you. Be a real engineer and do it yourself.
I like how, as someone else put it, all these AI responses exhibit sociopathic tendencies which reflect the elite caste that is pushing for them.
The idol statue reflects the woodcarver who made it.
Honestly, that explains a lot. Especially the way an LLM is confidently wrong and then gives a half-assed apology when it gets caught in a lie. Few things more frustrating than getting gaslit and then patronized by an AI.
