Programmer Humor

Development should really happen more in containers but I hate devcontainers. It's very VScode specific and any customizations I made to my shell and environment are wiped away. It has trouble accessing my ssh keys in the agent, and additional tools I installed...

I just wish nix/nixos had a safer solution for it. Maybe even firejail or bwrap or landlock or something.

We laugh about AI deleting all the shit, but every day there's a new npm package ready to exfiltrate all your data, upload it to a server and encrypt your home. How do you protect yourself against that?

How the fuck can it not recover the files?

Fun fact, files don't just get instantly nuked when you delete them, those areas are just marked with a deleted flag and only when you start adding new files it gets overwritten.

That why some people send a bunch of 0s to their partition to completely wipe it.

I just want to laugh at this. It really sucks that so many are willing to trust a machine learning model that is marketed to be god by megacorps.

:D

Always restrict AI to guest/restricted privileges.

Just …use docker

I have a question. I have tried Cursor and one more AI coding tool, and as far as I can remember, they always ask explicit permission before running a command in terminal. They can edit file contents without permission but creating new files and deleting any files requires the user to say yes to it.

Is Google not doing this? Or am I missing something?

Did you give it permission to do it? No. Did you tell it not to do it? Also, no. See, there’s your problem. You forgot to tell it to not do something it shouldn’t be doing in the first place.

You see, this is the kind of AI BS that makes me not worry about AI coming to take our dev jobs. Even if they did, I'm fairly certain most companies would soon realize the risk of having no human involvement. Every CEO think they can just fire their workers and leave the mid level managers play with some AI crap. Yeah, good luck with that. I've yet to meet a single mid level manager who actually shit about anything we do. 

Also this is the sort of stuff you should expect when using AI tools. Don't blame anyone else when you wipe your entire hard-drive. You did it. You asked the AI. Now deal with the consequences. 

the fuck is antigravity
