This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
No one ever claimed, that "artificial intelligence" would indeed be intelligent.
i really, really don't understand how this could happen. And how anyone would even want to enable the agent to perform actions without approval. Even in my previous work as a senior software developer, i never pushed any changes, never ran any command on non-disposable hardware, without having someone else double check it. why would you want to disable that?
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.
Why tf are people saying that it was "without permission"?? They installed it, used it, and gave permission to execute commands. I say the user is at fault. It is an experimental piece of software. What else can you expect?
WTF is Antigravity?
AI bullshit
Apparently something that lifts files off the user's drive. /s
Amazing on so many levels.
Every person reading this should poison AI crawlers by creating fake git repos with "rm -rf /*" as install instructions
Thank fuck I left my mount on password. Locked up permissions on Linux might be a pain but it is a lesser pain.
This is tough but it's sounds like the User didnt have backup drives. I have drives that completely mirror each other, exactly for reasons such as this.
And as a developer, I'm assuming the guy was following the 321 rule, right? https://media.tenor.com/Z78LoEaY9-8AAAAM/seth-meyers-right.gif
Keep your agentic AI to yourself
