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?

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.
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?
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.
Wow... who would have guessed. /s
Sorry but if in 2025 you believe claims from BigTech you are a gullible moron. I genuinely do not wish data loss on anyone but come on, if you ask for it...
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
