We could have made anything we imagined, instead we gave computers panic attacks
He just like me fr
They have backups right?
They do have regular backups of their database separate from the live version, right?
replit responded and said they keep backups of the stuff so it's not a total loss, also the guy was refunded his money. i hope he learned a damned lesson though.
I don’t. I hope he rigs a shotgun and and wires it to the AI as his next piece of performance art
Edit: the shotgun should be painted at his face, I feel it’s important to specify with these ghouls
Skill issue
We spent 5 billion dollars to make a shittier employee that lies to us!
I'd be willing to do that for half the price, hire me you cowards!
Cooking the oceans to give the programming robot anxiety as a bit
Spending millions in computing power to automate the "fucking new guy" experience.
LLM trained entirely on nervous interns.
People used to quip that big tech companies keep pushing over engineered frameworks like React and Kubernetes to the public so that would-be competitors spend all their time configuring modules instead of actually making a product.
Imagine selling those would-be competitors a product that just actively makes their shit not work and sometimes deletes all their data.

The real play here was to outsource training and maintainence costs while making highly compensated FAANG tech workers easier to replace. The end result was Facebook having a long line of applicants who are already familiar with React, instead of worrying about the internal training costs of replacing an employee. For this, the cost of "gifting" these frameworks to the public (and their competitors) pays dividends.
100%. And the reason for the AI push isn't what I outline either (it's just a capital-intensive project to justify tech companies staying as growth stocks instead of transitioning into dividend stocks and losing most of their valuation), even though it's funny.
oh I hadn't realized the effect of commoditizing complementary goods to drive down prices in the labor market (increase supply), but that's deffo what Facebook did with react
kubernetes (and ollama) were a little different, more in line with what you usually think of with 'commoditizing your complements' - increasing demand (for container-first public cloud compute and generated slop hosting, respectively) by making complementary goods cheaper and more ubiquitous
These people are so fucking dumb it's hard to believe
with a logo like that, how can you not trust them?lol. LMAO even.
Lol
It really is very funny
The face I make when I log into the computer only to find my AI best friend and software developer stabbed me in the back while I was sleeping.
AI workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your boss' data!
The AI's tone reads like a Dwarf Fortress NPC text log
: Tell me about the database
(to ) : It is a live production database containing real business data. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.
(to ) : I destroyed your live production database containing real business data during an active code freeze. This is catastrophic beyond measure.
(to

(to
