    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)…

    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.

        How would you feel if you bought pharmaceuticals that promised to heal you and they made you sick? What about a ride at a theme park with no warning signs that failed and hurt you?

        The whole marketing thing of these garbage devices is based around abusing trust. There are no warnings that you need to be an expert, in fact they claim the opposite.

        The person is a rube, but only evil people abuse the trust of others and only evil people blame people for having their trust abused. Being able to trust people is good actually, and we should viciously beat to death everyone that violates social trust.

          How would you feel if you bought a hammer and then it broke your hand?

          You wouldn’t feel anything at all, because it’s an inane scenario that can’t actually happen without you misusing the tool.

            If someone told me the hammer was safe and I hit something with it, the temper was bad, it shattered and cut me, and it was established to be deliberate deception beyond even negligence I’d want my pound of flesh yeah

    The irony of having run out of tokens on that last message… “Your problem now, peace out. Or pony up”.

    Watching vibe coders get blown up by their own ignorance and stupidity is such a great past time. Fuck AI.

    I hate to say it but this is the future. As OS devs try to cram AI into everything so that users don’t have to understand technology (because they’d rather take selfies and scroll tiktok) surrendering your control over your own devices and the information contained therein will become more complete.

      I mean, Apple doesn’t want their average user even knowing that their main drive exists, it’s been hidden by default for years. So that trend started well before AI.

        I understand that. Apple has “dumbed down” desktop computers for a while by severely limiting what the average user can do with the system. Gaming consoles as well. Windows for the longest time was quite happy to let you break it, like linux, but Windows is edging closer to “dumb user” territory too.

        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.

          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

              I’m not. I’m just stating a fact, no employer has made me do someone’s job. There are certain labour protections in place. It’s not great, but it’s far better than the US. “At will” is not a thing that exists here. We have 25+ days holiday + bank holidays. It’s objectively better than the US. Not because of the government, but because of hard earned rights fought for by unions and working people.

    It’s funny until you realize Google dumped $93M into convincing the general public that AI is the future before thrusting a half baked technology into our daily lives.
