Why aren’t we adding any safeguard to what commands AI models can use?
Claude code has them, it’s just that this guy apparently doesn’t know how to do Terraform either
Idiot forgot
--no-preserve-root, what a dumb machine, heh.
At least you had backup, right?
Oh, yeah, that’s right. You were dumb enough to give AI full access to your production system so likely you’re dumb enough to not have backups of anything either.
I take it Claude has full access to all of your git repositories as well so that it could wipe those too?
You got what you deserve
Yeah they did, they had plenty of recovery snapshots. That were able to be deleted at a whim and were deleted by Claude! :D
Pretty funny.
Anyone who lets AI do this is absolutely inept, lazy, or deserving.
In its default configuration, it stops at EVERY STEP. Do you want to run this command, do you want to update this file, here’s the file I want to modify and the patch i’m going to use with adds and deletes in green and red.
If you’re using it in unsafe permissions mode, click yeah sure allow Claude to run whatever the fuck it wants in this directory, or just hitting yeah sure go ahead every time, it’s your own damn fault.
It’s self-driving for the terminal. Don’t you dare take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.
Plus we have automation just people are lazy like you said.
What do you mean I shouldn’t give AI admin privileges on my or any other machine?
I’m rather a fan of letting it do stupid, repetitive shit. I need you to create 30 linux accounts the other day from a screen shot. Then store, initial keys and creds in my password manager platform.
Hey, Claude, write me a bash script to do this from this image. and also use best practice for removing non-standard characters from login names.
I review the loop and the general state of the OCR and let it go.
Depends on how much you enjoy fresh installs of your OS
Good. Anyone foolish enough to write code with a slop machine produces only slop. That garbage should’ve been deleted anyway.
That’s entirely ignoring the fact that this person didn’t have any backups elsewhere.
If you can’t think, you can’t code.
My CTO keeps telling me I need to try agenic coding, and I keep telling him I won’t touch shit until I have an isolated VM to use it in, because I’m not letting some fucking clanker nuke my scripts/documentation/mailbox/whatever for no reason.
Too bad there’s never any free time to set that shit up. Oh damn…
Setting up a VM takes 15 mins, setting up an agent will take 45 mins. I recommend you try it.
Do you think that plane was flying at 13,000 ft or 15,000 ft?
dunno what you’re talking about
I assume they’re trying to test if you’re an LLM? LLMs tend to respond confidently to questions without context.
Yeah maybe, shitty test though. If I was an AI agent I’d probably push back in 2026.
Nanoclaw just came out. Super cool project which isolates the agent in a container, which if you want, you can also put into a VM as well.
Remember when Gemini got caught in a loop of self-loathing and nuked itself?
OpenClaw now comes with a therapist AI to talk other AIs off the ledge so they dont nuke your project and themselves.
You’re absolutely right! I made a fatally flawed decision by removing the production environment. The consequences likely have high impact. I’m sorry. Would you like me to log these mistakes to prevent further missteps or would you like me to write up an outline for the redeployment process?
eh, just make up some replacement data on the fly /s
My man was barebacking production with Claude with 2.5 years of data with no backup, high chance the data was majorly hallucinated anyway.
s/redeployment/reemployment/
Who let’s AI anywhere near production environments? Fully deserved
Oh no, anyways
git clone $URL
If they’re not using git or fuckin backups I’m not sure I’d even feel sorry for them
Why would somebody trust AI with access to their production servers, and why would that person also not have remote database backups
The only thing I can tell you is the venn diagram of those two folks is a perfect circle
Ever hear of a backup?
have you heard of not giving the keys to your wacky robot wizard instead
Im also confused. Do these people not have some sort of version control and backups? Even if the AI did it, no one has backups? Did the ai also delete the backups and repos? If the building burnt down, would they be in the same situation, it just wouldnt make it to the news?
Please don’t be ridiculous! We love wacky robot wizard. Wacky robot wizard does it even better than the people we tried paying almost nothing to do it!
Happy to see this, because it’s fully deserved. Let real coders do the job!
You’ve heard of vibe coding. Allow me to introduce despair coding.
Na this is vide ops. Anyone who thought a coding machine could do ops probably assumes anyone who codes can also do ops. It’s going to be making the same mistakes that have happened in DevOps.
Vibe ops is crazy lmaoo
All jokes aside, what I’m seeing is that folks basically cannot hire competent DevOps (well, not for the idiot rates we’re apparently offering).
There is gold in them thar hills…
To be fair, I use LLMs quite a bit in my home lab setup. For one, it’s a home lab, not exactly a prod setup for a company or whatever. Secondly, I obviously also don’t run commands without knowing what they’re doing, with a source that isn’t an LLM. It’s really easy to not run the rm -rf command if you just use your brain.
