they still said that they love Google and use all of its products — they just didn’t expect it to release a program that can make a massive error such as this, especially because of its countless engineers and the billions of dollars it has poured into AI development.

I honestly don't understand how someone can exist on the modern Internet and hold this view of a company like Google.

How? How?

It was already bad enough when people copied code from interwebs without understanding anything about it.

But now these companies are pushing tools that have permissions over users whole drive and users are using it like they've got a skill up than the rest.

This is being dumb with less steps to ruin your code, or in some case, the whole system.

Why the hell would anybody give an AI access to their full hard drive?

Sounds like a catastrophic success to me

why the hell aren't people running this shit in isolated containers?

Without permission? "I don't know what I'm doing, you do it" sounds a lot like permission.

Again?

i really, really don't understand how this could happen. And how anyone would even want to enable the agent to perform actions without approval. Even in my previous work as a senior software developer, i never pushed any changes, never ran any command on non-disposable hardware, without having someone else double check it. why would you want to disable that?

I have no experience with this ide but I see on the posted log on Reddit that the LLM is talking about a "step 620" - like this is hundreds of queries away from the initial one? The context must have been massive, usually after this many subsequent queries they start to hallucinating hardly

No one ever claimed, that "artificial intelligence" would indeed be intelligent.

And despite the catastrophic failure, they still said that they love Google and use all of its products — they just didn’t expect it to release a program that can make a massive error such as this

Greetings from Darwin.

Lmfao these agentic editors are like giving root access to a college undergrad who thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is on a production server. With predictably similar results.
