Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

For four minutes, heritage conservationist Udaya Kumar P L watched an AI agent wreak havoc on his computer. The agent was testing software it was developing and clearing the cache when “a quoting error in an AI-generated command turned the instruction into ‘delete everything’”. “When it understood and tried to kill the process, its safety system blocked the kill. Twice… The safety layer permitted the destruction,” Udaya wrote on X. A former IT professional, he eventually shut down the the computer.

So this guy watched it do it for four minutes, and closed the computer instead of just clicking the little stop symbol. No backup and working in a workspace with basically everything in it. Guy should be fired lol, completely tech illiterate. They lost 15% of their data, all kept only on that one computer apparently.

Of course OP only posted a picture of the headline. Wonder why.

Yeah AI is barely relevant to this story. It could have been a bad quote in human written code.
