Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I was reading a post by someone trying to make shell scripts with an llm, and at one point the system suggested making a directory called
~
(which is a shorthand for your home directory in a bunch of unix-alikes). When the user pointed out this was bad, the llm recommended remediation usingrm -r ~
which would of course delete all your stuff.So, yeah, don’t let the approximately-correct machine do things by itself, when a single character substitution can destroy all your stuff.
And JFC, being surprised that something called “YOLO” might be bad? What were people expecting?
