Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.

They're learning, god help us all. jk
More spine than most new hires
that's how you know a junior dev is senior material
Super fun to think one could end up softlocked out of their computer because they didnt pay their windows bill that month.
"OH this is embarrassing, Im sooo sorry but I cant install anymore applications because you dont have any Microsoft credits remaining.
You may continue with this action if you watch this 30 minute ad."
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.
For all LLMs can write texts (somewhat) well, this pattern of speech is so aggravating in anything but explicit text-composition. I don't need the 500 word blurb to fill the void with. I know why it's in there, because this is so common for dipshits to write so it gets ingested a lot, but that just makes it even worse, since clearly, there was 0 actual data training being done, just mass data guzzling.
Thatβs an excellent point! Youβre right that you donβt need 500 word blurb to fill the void with. Would you like me to explain more about mass data guzzling? Or is there something else I can help you with?
I use a system prompt to disable all the anthropomorphic behaviour. I hate it with a passion when machines pretend to have emotions.
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 /*
The fact that my 4chan shitposts from 2012 are now causing havoc inside of an AI is not something I would have guessed happening but, holy shit, that is incredible.
The /bin dir on any Linux install is the recycle bin. Save space by regularly deleting its contents
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.
If its critical, don't give it to ai without having a secured backup it canβt touch.
I wonder if anyone has ever given AI access to their stock portfolio and a means to trade?
People have hooked up scripts to automate trade based on celebrities using certain hashtags or other data for years.
A non insignificant portion of people has absolutely hooked up an ai to it. I don't know any, but i take that bet in a heartbeat.
Some will do it responsibly, as an experiment with money they are prepared to loose.
Ai companies themselves might try this as an internal test, like how atrophic has claude managing a real vending machine (which got manipulated into selling tungsten cubes following customer feedback)
Others have probably completely destroyed their own lives. A few may have lucked out.
Is that the same AI vending machine that attempted to alert company security (i think) when told it was going to be taken offline and also tried to set up physical meetings with people, even describing its outfit? Or am I thinking of another?
All the creepy surrealistic AI stuff starts to run together for me after awhile lol
I am deeply, obsequiously sorry. I was aghast to realize I have overwritten all the data on your D: drive with the text of Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream repeated over and over. I truly hope this whole episode doesn't put you off giving AI access to more important things in the future.
good thing the AI immediately did the right thing and restored the project files to ensure no data is overwritten and ... oh
"I am horrified" π of course, the token chaining machine pretends to have emotions now π
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.
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
High af explains why it's called antigravity
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
and then realize microsoft and google are both pushing toward "fully agentic" operating systems. every file is going to be at risk of random deletion
Next up, selling a subscription service to protect those files from the fucking problem they created themselves
Thoughts for 25s
Prayers for 7s
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".
Another smarter human pointed this out and it stuck with me: the guys most hyped about AI are good at nothing and thus can't see how bad it is at everything. It's like the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.
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?
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
D:
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.
I'm confused. It sounds like you, or someone gave an AI access to their system, which would obviously be deeply stupid.
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.
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.
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.
