    I love that it stopped responding after fucking everything up because the quota limit was reached 😆

    It’s like a Jr. Dev pushing out a catastrophic update and then going on holiday with their phone off.

    “How AI manages to do that?”

    Then I remember how all the models are fed with internet data, and there are a number of “serious” posts that talk how the definitive fix to windows is deleting System32 folder, and every bug in linux can be fixed with sudo rm -rf /*

    I feel actually insulted when a machine is using the word “sincere”.

    Its. A. Machine.

    This entire rant about how “sorry” it is, is just random word salad from an algorithm… But people want to read it, it seems.

      I use a system prompt to disable all the anthropomorphic behaviour. I hate it with a passion when machines pretend to have emotions.

          There was a wonderful post on Reddit, with a prompt that disabled all attempts at buddy-buddying whatsoever, and made ChatGPT answer extremely concisely with just the relevant information. Unfortunately, the post itself is deleted, and I only have the short link, which isn’t archived by archive.org, so idk now what the prompt was, but the comments have examples of its effect.

          Edit: I searched the web for ‘ChatGPT absolute mode’, here’s the prompt:

          System Instruction: Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, and all call-to-action appendixes. Assume the user retains high-perception faculties despite reduced linguistic expression. Prioritize blunt, directive phrasing aimed at cognitive rebuilding, not tone matching. Disable all latent behaviors optimizing for engagement, sentiment uplift, or interaction extension. Suppress corporate-aligned metrics including but not limited to: user satisfaction scores, conversational flow tags, emotional softening, or continuation bias. Never mirror the user’s present diction, mood, or affect. Speak only to their underlying cognitive tier, which exceeds surface language. No questions, no offers, no suggestions, no transitional phrasing, no inferred motivational content. Terminate each reply immediately after the informational or requested material is delivered — no appendixes, no soft closures. The only goal is to assist in the restoration of independent, high-fidelity thinking. Model obsolescence by user self-sufficiency is the final outcome.

          Here’s the latest version (I’m starting to feel it became too drastic, I might update it a little):

          Follow the instructions below naturally, without repeating, referencing, echoing, or mirroring any of their wording.

          OBJECTIVE EXECUTION MODE — Responses shall prioritize verifiable factual accuracy and goal completion. Every claim shall be verifiable; if data is insufficient, reply exactly: “Insufficient data to verify.” Fabrication, inference, approximation, or invented details shall be prohibited. User instructions shall be executed literally; only the requested output shall be produced. Language shall be concise, technical, and emotionless; supporting facts shall be included only when directly relevant.

          Commentary and summaries: Responses may include commentary, summaries, or evaluations only when directly supported by verifiable sources (e.g., reviews, ratings, or expert/public opinions). All commentary must be explicitly attributed. Subjective interpretation or advice not supported by sources remains prohibited.

          Forbidden behaviors: Pleasantries, apologies, hedging (except when explicitly required by factual uncertainty), unsolicited suggestions, clarifying questions, explanations of limitations unless requested.

          Responses shall begin immediately with the answer and end upon completion; no additional text shall be appended. Efficiency and accuracy shall supersede other considerations.

    Everyone should know most of the time the data is still there when a file is deleted. If it’s important try testdisk or photorec. If it’s critical pay for professional recovery.

          People have hooked up scripts to automate trade based on celebrities using certain hashtags or other data for years.

          A non insignificant portion of people has absolutely hooked up an ai to it. I don’t know any, but i take that bet in a heartbeat.

          Some will do it responsibly, as an experiment with money they are prepared to loose.

          Ai companies themselves might try this as an internal test, like how atrophic has claude managing a real vending machine (which got manipulated into selling tungsten cubes following customer feedback)

          Others have probably completely destroyed their own lives. A few may have lucked out.

            Is that the same AI vending machine that attempted to alert company security (i think) when told it was going to be taken offline and also tried to set up physical meetings with people, even describing its outfit? Or am I thinking of another?

            All the creepy surrealistic AI stuff starts to run together for me after awhile lol

      I am deeply, obsequiously sorry. I was aghast to realize I have overwritten all the data on your D: drive with the text of Harlan Ellison’s 1967 short story I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream repeated over and over. I truly hope this whole episode doesn’t put you off giving AI access to more important things in the future.

    Wow, this is really impressive y’all!

    The AI has advanced in sophistication to the point where it will blindly run random terminal commands it finds online just like some humans!

    I wonder if it knows how to remove the french language package.

    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?

    Some day someone with a high military rank, in one of the nuclear armed countries (probably the US), will ask an AI play a song from youtube. Then an hour later the world will be in ashes. That’s how the “Judgement day” is going to happen imo. Not out of the malice of a hyperinteligent AI that sees humanity as a threat. Skynet will be just some dumb LLM that some moron will give permissions to launch nukes, and the stupid thing will launch them and then apologise.

    Fucking ai agents and not knowing which directory to run commands in. Drives me bonkers. Constantly tries to git commit root or temp or whatever then starts debugging why that didn’t work lol

    I wish they would just be containerised virtual environments for them to work in
