    It’s funny until you realize Google dumped $93M into convincing the general public that AI is the future before thrusting a half baked technology into our daily lives.

      Well, there’s the problem. In AI development $93m is nothing. Its like they threw a pocket change at a child and demanded industry leading AI.

    IF (and this is a big if) you are going to allow an AI direct access to your files and your command line, for the love of Gabe sandbox that shit and run a backup for the folders you give it access to. We know AI makes mistakes like this. Just act as if you were giving your little brother access to your drives and your command line and it’s his first day. I get we’re all still learning about this stuff, but allowing an AI agent command-line access and full drive access, to a local drive you have no backup of, is just leaving Little Timmy at home alone with a loaded shotgun and a open bottle of pills level of irresponsibility.

      Why don’t we let AI control all banks? And why not have it choose elections?

      Gemini, please choose the next president of the united States!

      Sure! We will be avoiding names that start with a Tr because those are usually pedo.

      I propose a soda can, a dry yellow marker, and a new N95 mask from Costco because they come in a package of 20. And my decision is…drum roll please!..A dry Yellow Marker!

      Originally from Minnesota, Dr. Yellow Marker spent all its days finding issues with a bank statements at the end of the month. Thru its career it found 5000 issues at Wells Fargo! Then he retired to Wastebasket, a large container home for retirees like it.

      As president of the united States he could get its tip soaked in acetone to give us at least a good 2 or 3 days worth of issue marking!

    I hate to say it but this is the future. As OS devs try to cram AI into everything so that users don’t have to understand technology (because they’d rather take selfies and scroll tiktok) surrendering your control over your own devices and the information contained therein will become more complete.

      I mean, Apple doesn’t want their average user even knowing that their main drive exists, it’s been hidden by default for years. So that trend started well before AI.

        I understand that. Apple has “dumbed down” desktop computers for a while by severely limiting what the average user can do with the system. Gaming consoles as well. Windows for the longest time was quite happy to let you break it, like linux, but Windows is edging closer to “dumb user” territory too.

    Watching vibe coders get blown up by their own ignorance and stupidity is such a great past time. Fuck AI.

    The copium in the reddit thread is hilarious.

    “The issue is that you had a space in your path name”

    No, the issue is that the AI wiped an entire drive! 🤣

      I mean, a lot of the people pointing that out are actually doing so to indicate the dangers of relying on AI in the first place.

      If you read some OPs replies it becomes clear that what happened here is they asked the bot how to fix something, didn’t understand the instructions it replied with, and then just went and said “Hey, I don’t get it, so you do it for me.”

      Anyone who knew what they were doing would have noticed the bad delete command the bot presented (improperly formatted, and with no safety checks), but because OP figured “Hey, knowing stuff is for suckers”, they ended up losing all their stuff.

        How would you feel if you bought pharmaceuticals that promised to heal you and they made you sick? What about a ride at a theme park with no warning signs that failed and hurt you?

        The whole marketing thing of these garbage devices is based around abusing trust. There are no warnings that you need to be an expert, in fact they claim the opposite.

        The person is a rube, but only evil people abuse the trust of others and only evil people blame people for having their trust abused. Being able to trust people is good actually, and we should viciously beat to death everyone that violates social trust.

          How would you feel if you bought a hammer and then it broke your hand?

          You wouldn’t feel anything at all, because it’s an inane scenario that can’t actually happen without you misusing the tool.
