It's an AI agent which made a decision to run a cli command and it resulted in a drive being wiped. Please consider the context

It's a human who made the decision to give such permissions to an AI agent and it resulted in a drive being wiped. That's the context.

If a car is presented as fully self-driving and it crashes, then it's not he passengers fault. If your automatic tool can fuck up your shit, it's the company's responsibility to not present it as automatic.

Did the car come with full self-driving mode disabled by default and a warning saying "Fully self-driving mode can kill you" when you try to enable it? I don't think you understand that the user went out of their way to enable this functionality.

If full self-driving mode is likely to kill you, it shouldn't be able to be enabled in the first place. It's simply there to make the company's product look better, by being able to claim that the car has full self-driving, despite being a shitty functionality in practice.

Sure. And alcohol, cigarettes and drugs should be banned. Unprotected sex, too. And bungee jumping, water slides, rollercoasters...

Snap off of it, will you.

What are you on about? None of these things are comparable to an AI agent. Also, I cannot believe you're not aware of this, but it's very common that a majority of drugs are illegal.

Neither is a self-driving car, you started with the unhinged comparisons, I just went along with it to show you how ridiculous you're being. Also most drugs are legal.
