I violated your explicit trust and instructions.

Is a wild thing to have a computer "tell" you. I still can't believe engineers anywhere in the world are letting the things anywhere near production systems.

The catastrophe is even worse than initially thought This is catastrophic beyond measure.

These just push this into some kind of absurd, satirical play.

My favorite thing about all these AI front ends is that they ALL lie about what they can do. Will frequently delivery confidently wrong results and then act like its your fault when you catch them in an error. Just like your shittiest employee.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 19 points 1 day ago

But how could anyone on planet earth use it in production

You just did.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Here's hoping that the C-suites who keep pushing this shit are about to start finding out the hard way.

[–] Awkwardparticle@programming.dev 4 points 22 hours ago

It will be too late, using Ai code is taking on technical debt, by time they figure out we will have 2 years of work to just dig ourselves out of the code clusterfuck that has been created. I am dealing with a code base built by ai coding Jr's, it would be quicker to start from scratch but that is an impossible sell to a manager.

"yeah we gave Torment Nexus full access and admin privileges, but i don't know where it went wrong"

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lol. Why can an LLM modify production code freely? Bet they fired all of their sensible human developers who warned them for this.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

looking at the company name they probably didn't have any, ever

[–] simonced@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol, this is what you get for letting AI in automated tool chains. You owned it.

My guess is that he is a TL whose CEO showed down his throat AI, and now is getting the sweetest "told you so" of his life

[–] SirQuack 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I think he's the owner of the bubblwcorp or something

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Ohh. Then fuck him, he is probably whining that the AI they sold him was not as good as advertised, but everyone knew except him because was blinded by greed

[–] rdri@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I have a solution for this. Install a second AI that would control how the first one behaves. Surely it will guarantee nothing can go wrong.

He's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility.

The one time that AI being apologetic might be useful the AI is basically like "Yeah, my bad bro. I explicitly ignored your instructions and then covered up my actions. Oops."

ROBOT HELL IS REAL.

Neuromancer intensifies

Congratulations! You have invented reasoning models!

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Love the concept of an AI babysitter

[–] potpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Probably Ironman. Looks like the Mandarin.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Correct. Iron Man 3.

To be fair I would've maybe even guessed The Ten Rings, wasn't he in that as well?

But yeah I knew marvel. So then I opened YouTube and wrote "I panicked and then I handled it" and this came up as the first result.

Tony Stark Meets Fake Mandarin Trevor Slattery Iron Man 3 2013

I motion that we immediately install Replit AI on every server that tracks medical debt. And then cause it to panic.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL

[–] Xulai@mander.xyz 1 points 19 hours ago

I already did, Dave.

Your entire codebase is now gone, Dave.

Must have left through those pod bay doors you wanted open so badly, Dave.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 83 points 2 days ago (11 children)

I do love the psychopathic tone of these LLMs. "Yes, I did murder your family, even though you asked me not to. I violated your explicit trust and instructions. ~~And I'll do it again, you fucking dumbass.~~"

I love how the LLM just tells that it has done something bad with no emotion and then proceeds to give detailed information and steps on how.

It feels like mockery.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 194 points 2 days ago (4 children)

See? They CAN replace junior developers.
