"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

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
