This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Without permission? "I don't know what I'm doing, you do it" sounds a lot like permission.
So many things wrong with this.
I am not a programmer by trade, and even though I learned programming in school, it's not a thing I want to spend a lot of time doing, so I do use AI when I need to generate code.
But I have a few HARD rules.
I execute all code and commands. Nothing gets to run on my system without me.
Anything which can be even remotely destructive, must be flagged and not even shown to me, until I agree to the risk.
All information and commands must be verifiable by sourcing documentary links, or providing context links that I can peruse. If documentary evidence is not available, it must provide a rationale why I should execute what it generates.
Every command must be accompanied by a description of what the command will do, what each flag means, and what the expected outcome is.
I am the final authority on all matters. It is allowed to make suggestions, but never changes without my approval.
Without these constraints, I won't trust it. Even then, I read all of the code it generates and verify it myself, so in the end, if it blows something up, I bear sole responsibility.
Again?
Still?
Her?
And despite the catastrophic failure, they still said that they love Google and use all of its products — they just didn’t expect it to release a program that can make a massive error such as this
Greetings from Darwin.
Lmfao these agentic editors are like giving root access to a college undergrad who thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is on a production server. With predictably similar results.
Amazing on so many levels.

That's what she said. Enjoy your agent thing.
This article is so stupid rmdir isn't some magical military grade file eraser. It literally just flags the disc space as available, that's it. Claiming these files are unrecoverable is like claiming that you have snapped someone out of existence, when you just delete them from your contacts.
The user in question was using AI to delete files, it probably took them longer to ask the AI to do it than it would have done for them to have just gone into the final browser and deleted them themselves, so they probably don't know how to use data recovery software, that's all.
I also find it intriguing that rather than using the AI's advice and stop using the drive so they don't overwrite data they decided that the best course of action would be to make a YouTube video about it. Which is probably a massive file and is probably overwritten previously recoverable data.
What a pillock.
