The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.

In this guy's fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let's be real, he'll definitely get caught.

The lawyer: "You did WHAT??"

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 145 points 1 week ago

The lawyer: pushes his own button

Also the lawyer: “AND YOU POSTED IT TO TWITTER?!?!

The lawyer: Not only that, but PUBLICLY ADMITTED IT?!

Judge Snyder: [he has been given a fake verdict by Hutz who listens nearby] This verdict is written on a cocktail napkin! And it still says "guilty!" And "guilty" is spelled wrong! [Hutz squeaks in shock]

Well that's one way to never get another job again.

Killing company honorable though.

If you’re that good, you can contract yourself out.

The future is self-employment and unions.

In many cases, you pretty much didn't exist before you stepped through the doors at your new company. People in all departments are too overloaded with work to take their time properly vetting every person joining the circus

I'd hire him.

I mean, I don't have a company, or employees, but if I did.....I'd hire him.

I hate AI. But this should realistically be called a "arrest me" button.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Yes, you're correct, fighting back often requires personal sacrifices.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 51 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I really hope this kind of stand off becomes normalized. We can all lose.

big companies leeching off open source and getting their products leaked after a single phishing mail never stops being entertaining

You could probably make it look like an accident. "I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there"

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

That's actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that

It "helpfully" set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO

I know it's a meme but I'd notify the lawyer before coding that, they'll laugh themselves silly. Electronic vandalism is still vandalism only the damages are higher.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

But if AI executes it...

If AI is so smart (it's not) it can take your job, then it should clearly recognize what is clearly meant as a joke...

If I damage $25k worth of stuff that's my problem

If I damage $25 million worth of code that's my former employer's problem

It’s so wild to see all the fucking hall monitors in here wagging their fingers.

You all deserve whatever you get.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm just concerned about their poor opsec

Suggestion: instead of doing all that directly, the button adds these instructions to the SKILLS file and hope some AI take the bait one day.

My first thought was how do you test this actually works?

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 1 points 6 days ago

Set up a test project I guess.

If you've ever been let go by a corp you know you're gonna need some sort of remote trigger. They'll say "Can I see you for a minute?" and then BOOM! out the door.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Deadman switch. Hit the button before all meetings and if you aren't back in 2 hours to disable it then it would execute.

Have you accounted for your access being revoked before you are notified about your fate?

I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren't necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position
