Programmer Humor

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.

I feel actually insulted when a machine is using the word "sincere".

Its. A. Machine.

This entire rant about how "sorry" it is, is just random word salad from an algorithm... But people want to read it, it seems.

the "you have reached your quota limit" at the end is just such a cherry on top xD

"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 /*

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.

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.

"Agentic" means you're in the passenger's rather than driver's seat... And the driver is high af

"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.

And the icing on the shit cake is it peacing out after all that

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

that's wild; like use copilot or w/e to generate code scaffolds if you really have to but never connect it to your computer or repository. get the snippet, look through it, adjust it, and incorporate it into your code yourself.

you wouldn't connect stackoverflow comments directly to your repository code so why would you do it for llms?

And judging by their introductory video, Google wants you to have multiple of these "Agents" running at the same time.
Better lockdown your files real nice from this thing, better yet, don't let it run Shell commands unattended. One must wonder why the fuck that is even an option!

Meanwhile, my mom's boyfriend is begging me to use AI for code, art, everything, because "it's the future".

Stochastic rm /* -rf code runner.

Damn this is insane. Using claude/cursor for work is near, but they have a mode literally called "yolo mode" which is this. Agents allowed to run whatever code they like, which is insane. I allow it to do basic things, you can search the repo and read code files, but goddamn allowing it to do whatever it wants? Hard no

I'm confused. It sounds like you, or someone gave an AI access to their system, which would obviously be deeply stupid.

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.

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.

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?

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.

:D

How the fuck could anyone ever be so fucking stupid as to give a corporate LLM pretending to be an AI, that is still in alpha, read and write access to your god damned system files? They are a dangerously stupid human being and they 100% deserved this.

I love how it just vanishes into a puff of logic at the end.

How the fuck can it not recover the files?

Fun fact, files don't just get instantly nuked when you delete them, those areas are just marked with a deleted flag and only when you start adding new files it gets overwritten.

That why some people send a bunch of 0s to their partition to completely wipe it.
