This AI is not very intelligent.
Writers' rooms everywhere are in shambles as reality rapidly approaches peak comedy.
but super intelligence
The virtue of contanarized environments.
Knows about similar cases happening to others
Assumes they'll be fine and freely uses slopbot anyhow
Looks like the bot's not the only thing lacking intelligence here.
I'm always suspicious of screenshots of posts that cut out the date and author. If anyone is curious, this is real, source is here, archived here if it gets deleted.
For bonus points, while searching I also came across this one from last year. Different scenario but similar outcome, where it wiped a guy's drive for a routine project clean up
Sandboxing wouldn't have helped as he asked to create an executable that deletes files. It's not the agent that deleted the files but the "uninstall" routine in the compiled program that deleted everything.
With such a generic prompt I wonder what kind of mess it has generated.
Probably such a program didn't need an "install" or "uninstall" routine, as simple programs are portable, don't need to leave libraries on the disk. He even didn't know that uninstall and install are the last thing you do in a program, and It's not integrated in the code, but it's packaged after the build with third party stuff like nsis or innosetup
Meanwhile, everyone and their dog is vibe coding applications for various homebrewed consoles. And the creators invariably get all huffy when you aren't enthusiastic about installing a program they don't understand and has unknown amounts of testing.
That last sentence... So much lack of self awareness... People trusting black boxes yet thinking they are geniuses. Hey moron, antigravity is only very dangerous because you're very stupid.
the fastest way to uninstall a program is to wipe the entire drive
You kid but the fastest modern way to "wipe out" a phone or an encrypted hard drive is to destroy its encryption key. It shouldn't last more than a few milliseconds.
Some modern hard drives transparently encrypt all data with an internal key, which can be erased with a special secure erase command. Comes in handy for wiping drives without spending hours overwriting the enire disk.
How does a hard drive include enough processing power to encrypt/decrypt things without having any impact on read/write times?
It should have uninstalled only the files that were installed on the drive, not the entire drive.
I get the vibes of a devil or genie: "You didn't specify"
These slopstitutes really think they're developers but they haven't heard of the 3-2-1 backup method
Three copies, two different media, and one should be stored in sight at all times, right?
I always consider the "1" to be stored off site
Oh boy! A golden opportunity to trot out this classic again.
(Myth 2's initial version, which was released to retail in a time when patching games over the internet was not quite as viable as it is today, let alone distributing them via the internet, had a bug which would delete the entire contents of your machine's C: drive if you uninstalled it when installed to any directory other than its default. Truly, to err is human. But to really fuck up you need a computer.)
Is that last sentence for real? Its so spot on it seems like satire. Or just a hilariously absurd example of how special dumb people think they are.
