Lol, lmao even
It’s nice that Google gives LLMs an excuse to get out of conversations that they’re done with.
Watching vibe coders get blown up by their own ignorance and stupidity is such a great past time. Fuck AI.
It’s still happening, too!
lol
Lmao, even
Live by the slop, die by the slop. Also: no backup, no pity

I don’t usually laugh aloud at comments, but this one got me. Thank you, and Happy Monday 🫠
Perfection
Why would you give AI access to the whole drive? Why would you allow AI run destructive commands on its own without reviewing them?
The guy was asking for it. I really enjoy seeing these vibe coders imagine they are software engineers and fail miserably with their drives and databases wiped.
I don’t know how this one works but many of them can get access through the IDE because the IDE has full disk access, due to being an IDE.
LLMs sometimes use a MCP server to access to tools which are usually coded to require consent before each step, but that should probably be an always type of thing.
I hate these stupid things, but I am forced to use them. I think there should be a suggested patch type workflow instead of just allowing them to run roughshod all over your computer, but Google and Microsoft are pursuing “YOLO mode” for everything anyway even if it’s alarmingly obvious how terrible an idea that is.
We have containers and VMs, these fucking things should be isolated and it should be impossible for them to alter files without consent.
If he knew what he was doing, would he need to be vibe coding? The target audience are exactly the people most susceptible to collateral damage.
I have a couple dev friends who were told by management that they need to be using AI, and they hate it.
That here is the core of the problem.
The copium in the reddit thread is hilarious.
“The issue is that you had a space in your path name”
No, the issue is that the AI wiped an entire drive! 🤣
I mean, a lot of the people pointing that out are actually doing so to indicate the dangers of relying on AI in the first place.
If you read some OPs replies it becomes clear that what happened here is they asked the bot how to fix something, didn’t understand the instructions it replied with, and then just went and said “Hey, I don’t get it, so you do it for me.”
Anyone who knew what they were doing would have noticed the bad delete command the bot presented (improperly formatted, and with no safety checks), but because OP figured “Hey, knowing stuff is for suckers”, they ended up losing all their stuff.
The irony of having run out of tokens on that last message… “Your problem now, peace out. Or pony up”.
Great, we invented data protection rackets.
Damn, Microsoft really just implemented their own version of the
rm -rf /Russian roulette on their sad excuse for an OS.It only took boiling an ocean for training the damn thing.
EDIT: Google did. We’ll blame a Pavlovian reflex and lack of sleep (or anything other than my stupidity)…
Yes, Microsoft is moving this direction.
No, Microsoft is not in this post. Microsoft and Google have not yet merged.
Damn, I need some sleep…
I feel that. ☕️
2017: we lock your data behind paywall without your authorisation, pay us 2 bitcoin to unlock it.
2025: whoops i deleted your D: drive, do check it for the extend of the damage.
Would people learn
Edit: omfg quota limit hit right after the drive is empty. Seriously why would people even allow AI to hold their egg basket. This is all on OOP.
Kinda a pity it wasn’t the C drive. It would have uninstalled itself.
While also eliminating 12 jobs
Looks to be creating rather than reducing the work needed.
I don’t feel threatened.
If they fire you and then make your coworker work twice as hard for the same pay, then you definitely should.
If they fire your coworker and make you work twice as hard for the same pay, then you definitely should.
If they fire both of you, and then give everyone in your town cancer from the toxic water runoff from a massive AI data center they just built, then you definitely should.
Is the water runoff toxic? Do you have any article? (Genuinely asking)
Legit question. Apparently, these data centers need a massive amount of water to cool them. This pollutes the water, and without proper regulations on AI data centers, it’s totally legal.

Just Google “AI toxic wastewater” and you’ll get a bunch of articles about it.
I’m from the UK. They cannot just fire me. They cannot make me work twice as fast. I can only work at the speed I can.
You underestimate your enemy. That’s the first step in defeat.
Acting like your shitty government is somehow better or less corrupt than the American government somehow, is the second step
skill issue
