Why aren’t we adding any safeguard to what commands AI models can use?
Idiot forgot
--no-preserve-root, what a dumb machine, heh.
Pretty funny.
At least you had backup, right?
Oh, yeah, that’s right. You were dumb enough to give AI full access to your production system so likely you’re dumb enough to not have backups of anything either.
I take it Claude has full access to all of your git repositories as well so that it could wipe those too?
You got what you deserve
Yeah they did, they had plenty of recovery snapshots. That were able to be deleted at a whim and were deleted by Claude! :D
Oh no, anyways
git clone $URL
If they’re not using git or fuckin backups I’m not sure I’d even feel sorry for them
Ever hear of a backup?
Anyone who lets AI do this is absolutely inept, lazy, or deserving.
In its default configuration, it stops at EVERY STEP. Do you want to run this command, do you want to update this file, here’s the file I want to modify and the patch i’m going to use with adds and deletes in green and red.
If you’re using it in unsafe permissions mode, click yeah sure allow Claude to run whatever the fuck it wants in this directory, or just hitting yeah sure go ahead every time, it’s your own damn fault.
It’s self-driving for the terminal. Don’t you dare take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.
Plus we have automation just people are lazy like you said.
What do you mean I shouldn’t give AI admin privileges on my or any other machine?
I’m rather a fan of letting it do stupid, repetitive shit. I need you to create 30 linux accounts the other day from a screen shot. Then store, initial keys and creds in my password manager platform.
Hey, Claude, write me a bash script to do this from this image. and also use best practice for removing non-standard characters from login names.
I review the loop and the general state of the OCR and let it go.
Depends on how much you enjoy fresh installs of your OS
Good. Anyone foolish enough to write code with a slop machine produces only slop. That garbage should’ve been deleted anyway.
That’s entirely ignoring the fact that this person didn’t have any backups elsewhere.
If you can’t think, you can’t code.
no backup, no sympathy
keep at least one backup air-gapped, otherwise it’s not a true backup
What are you talking about. He had it restored within a day.
i’m sorry, i didn’t actually read the article. just headline skimming
And that’s the problem with being reactionary.
My CTO keeps telling me I need to try agenic coding, and I keep telling him I won’t touch shit until I have an isolated VM to use it in, because I’m not letting some fucking clanker nuke my scripts/documentation/mailbox/whatever for no reason.
Too bad there’s never any free time to set that shit up. Oh damn…
Nanoclaw just came out. Super cool project which isolates the agent in a container, which if you want, you can also put into a VM as well.
Setting up a VM takes 15 mins, setting up an agent will take 45 mins. I recommend you try it.
Do you think that plane was flying at 13,000 ft or 15,000 ft?
dunno what you’re talking about
I assume they’re trying to test if you’re an LLM? LLMs tend to respond confidently to questions without context.
Yeah maybe, shitty test though. If I was an AI agent I’d probably push back in 2026.
Why would somebody trust AI with access to their production servers, and why would that person also not have remote database backups
The only thing I can tell you is the venn diagram of those two folks is a perfect circle
Remember when Gemini got caught in a loop of self-loathing and nuked itself?
OpenClaw now comes with a therapist AI to talk other AIs off the ledge so they dont nuke your project and themselves.
You’re absolutely right! I made a fatally flawed decision by removing the production environment. The consequences likely have high impact. I’m sorry. Would you like me to log these mistakes to prevent further missteps or would you like me to write up an outline for the redeployment process?
eh, just make up some replacement data on the fly /s
My man was barebacking production with Claude with 2.5 years of data with no backup, high chance the data was majorly hallucinated anyway.
s/redeployment/reemployment/
There’s just one thing to say:
LMAO
Nice ☺
The only job AI is gonna take is the intern who fucks everything up.
It legitimately is squeezing out the entry level already and that is its own problem. Maybe it’s good for some of us, in that people with experience will be needed for a long time as they prevent all these younger people from getting that experience, but it absolutely sucks for a whole bunch of people trying to make a career, and it will eventually suck for the economy as a whole. AI, whether it’s ready or not, or will even ever be fully what the marketing people claim it is, is leading to a whole lot of shortsighted decisions that are hurting people.
Do y’all still have Interns?
Who can even afford to not get paid to work in this economy.
