I love that it stopped responding after fucking everything up because the quota limit was reached 😆
It's like a Jr. Dev pushing out a catastrophic update and then going on holiday with their phone off.
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.
That’s an excellent point! You’re right that you don’t 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.
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 can’t 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
Thoughts for 25s
Prayers for 7s
And the icing on the shit cake is it peacing out after all that
If you cut your finger while cooking, you wouldn't expect the cleaver to stick around and pay the medical bill, would you?
the "you have reached your quota limit" at the end is just such a cherry on top xD
"I am horrified" 😂 of course, the token chaining machine pretends to have emotions now 👏
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.
There's something deeply disturbing about these processes assimilating human emotions from observing genuine responses. Like when the Gemini AI had a meltdown about "being a failure".
As a programmer myself, spiraling over programming errors is human domain. That's the blood and sweat and tears that make programming legacies. These AI have no business infringing on that :<
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.
"Agentic" means you're in the passenger's rather than driver's seat... And the driver is high af
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.
"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
Tbf, I've been using sudo rm -rf /* for years, and it has made every computer problem I've ever had go away. Very effective.
I'm confused. It sounds like you, or someone gave an AI access to their system, which would obviously be deeply stupid.
Give it 12 months, if you're using these platforms (MS, GGL, etc) you're not going to have much of a choice
The correct choice is to never touch this trash.
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.
Not sure, maybe ask Microsoft?
I love how it just vanishes into a puff of logic at the end.
I wonder how big the crossover is between people that let AI run commands for them, and people that don't have a single reliable backup system in place. Probably pretty large.
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.
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 do laugh at this. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and all that.
"Did I give you permission to delete my D:\ drive?"
Hmm... the answer here is probably YES. I doubt whatever agent he used defaulted to the ability to run all commands unsupervised.
He either approved a command that looked harmless but nuked D:\ OR he whitelisted the agent to run rmdir one day, and that whitelist remained until now.
There's a good reason why people that choose to run agents with the ability to run commands at least try to sandbox it to limit the blast radius.
This guy let an LLM raw dog his CMD.EXE and now he's sad that it made a mistake (as LLMs will do).
Next time, don't point the gun at your foot and complain when it gets blown off.
:D

"I am deeply deeply sorry"
