My first thought was how do you test this actually works?

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 19 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It’s so wild to see all the fucking hall monitors in here wagging their fingers.

You all deserve whatever you get.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm just concerned about their poor opsec

Agreed, if this is true you should not be posting about it at all no matter where it is. It's best to just keep it quiet because the company at this point can probably get law enforcement involved if they ID the person. The only time a company should know something is going on in this situation your lawyer should already be fully involved.

I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren't necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position

[–] cm0002@lemdro.id 6 points 5 hours ago

Yea, this is the reason I held my tongue when the company CEO who laid me off last year (Who I worked directly under) posted something about investing in the people who further their goals. Because I had a bunch of very snarky I could have clapped back with, but I decided to not burn the bridge

I'd pretend to read it for sure

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 4 points 5 hours ago

I wonder how many people here actually do any sort of hiring or firing. Companies don't check fuck all and if you're in a position where they do, releasing this kind of information will quickly become their problem not yours.

If you've ever been let go by a corp you know you're gonna need some sort of remote trigger. They'll say "Can I see you for a minute?" and then BOOM! out the door.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Deadman switch. Hit the button before all meetings and if you aren't back in 2 hours to disable it then it would execute.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 13 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Run it on a separate machine / account. In big corporate environments, your user account could be disabled by the time you walk into the meeting room.

Better solution, if you can, work for open source companies: at least the codebase is already public!

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 hours ago

If you're in a position to have access make this sort of thing, you likely have access to code bases or system accounts. This is a good way to go to prison IMO.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Better, plant it on the account if that co-worker you hate, and still works there, operated off a remote. Then he gets the blame.

That's why you're usually put on garden leave immediately after being told. Or if in the US, just straight up kicked out I guess.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What's garden leave, it's the first time I hear that expression

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

You get paid, but you're not allowed to come to work. You're banned from the workplace, usually as a security/safety measure, but because of labour laws or contractual obligations they can't stop paying you yet.

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

A way to play your life 50-50, where some people will be "the company got what they deserved" and most likely you will find a job, and some other people will be "what an ass hole, he shouldn't do that" and never find a job after.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 89 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

So how did you test it?

Presses button

Syntax error on line 1

Shit…

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 45 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I know it's a meme but I'd notify the lawyer before coding that, they'll laugh themselves silly. Electronic vandalism is still vandalism only the damages are higher.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 19 points 8 hours ago

If I damage $25k worth of stuff that's my problem

If I damage $25 million worth of code that's my former employer's problem

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 25 points 14 hours ago

But if AI executes it...

If AI is so smart (it's not) it can take your job, then it should clearly recognize what is clearly meant as a joke...

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 53 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You could probably make it look like an accident. "I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there"

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

[–] cm0002@lemdro.id 34 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that

It "helpfully" set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO

[–] Ghoelian@piefed.social 4 points 3 hours ago

Today, I tried to prevent Claude from reading my .env files. This was pretty easy and worked, but now Claude was just writing php snippets to get config values set by this .env.

(I have to use ai for work, personally I never use it)

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, the displeasure of working with Odoo I see there in the background.

[–] razen@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Why is it that?

[–] mech@feddit.org 241 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

The lawyer: "You did WHAT??"

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 105 points 19 hours ago

Also the lawyer: “AND YOU POSTED IT TO TWITTER?!?!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 159 points 21 hours ago

The lawyer: pushes his own button

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 72 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The lawyer: Not only that, but PUBLICLY ADMITTED IT?!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 38 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Hold on I got a Simpsons gif to make

[–] ttyybb@lemmy.world 171 points 22 hours ago (34 children)

Well that's one way to never get another job again.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 100 points 21 hours ago

Killing company honorable though.

I hate AI. But this should realistically be called a "arrest me" button.

What about the other two? Is one an ejector seat?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

Button 1 : Gaslight them

Button 2 : decode corporate BS
