"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.

Just this Monday, didn’t Claude wipe an entire company’s prod database AND backups? The reason it could being that someone gave it the prod token because it was faster than asking for one with the right permissions?
And then it just “hallucinated” that the correct solution would be to wipe the drive, costing this company like millions?
Show them the article.
Yes but that company also had a horrible backup system. It's like a drunk driver(Ai slop) tboning another drunk driver(only 1 backup on same disk as production data) and that company was responsible for both drivers...
This is true but doesn't negate thread OP's point that AI had access and did it despite instructions explicitly not to. The risk is the point, not that their cloud provider's poor implementation compounded with their own poor backup scenario.
True, multiple root causes which compounded into a dire situation.
