the cloud provider's API allows for destructive action without confirmation, it stores backups on the same volume as the source data, and “wiping a volume deletes all backups.” Crane also points out that CLI tokens have blanket permissions across environments.

Well, there’s your problem.

I don't want to sound like a know it all here because I recently was reminded by a nice Lemmy person to actually TEST my backups, but damn. Every part of that is so dumb. I also have backups stored by a different company in addition to locally storing really important info. If your stuff is hosted and backed up by the same people, what happens if your account is randomly suspended or hacked or some other issue (like ai)?

If your company can be taken down by Camden the college intern, it can be taken down by Claude.

People somehow think that they should give more permissions to Claude than to Camden. (Is that a name? To me that's a borough and an eponymous beer.)

E: oh yeah, and the market.

Of course it's a name. Camden borough/town/market is named after William Camden, 1551-1623. Using surnames as given names is a relatively common Americanism.

What was William Camden's take on unrestricted AI use in production?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

He doth protest

And now is a common first name that in circulation because of a bunch of Gen X and early millennial parents named millions of kids anything that ended in den, dan, or don.

This should be one of the first questions you get asked when you’re being interviewed for the position 2 to 3 levels beneath the position of ultimate responsibility. And if you don’t immediately have an answer, the interview is over.

Fucking idiots had it coming

[-] logi@piefed.world 13 points 3 months ago

It's an easy question to answer but a more difficult question to remember to ask. But I guess that's what those 2 to 3 levels are for 😏

[-] homes@piefed.world 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ooo, good point. Management can be shit a lot of the time.

But with all of those layoffs because of AI, those 2 to 3 levels get collapsed into one, and we’re left with the trainees running the show.

And here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Management are pushing sysadmins to use AI, yet AI tools permissions models are worse than useless.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

PocketOS states that as well.
