My favorite thing about all these AI front ends is that they ALL lie about what they can do. Will frequently delivery confidently wrong results and then act like its your fault when you catch them in an error. Just like your shittiest employee.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 41 points 6 days ago

lol. Why can an LLM modify production code freely? Bet they fired all of their sensible human developers who warned them for this.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

looking at the company name they probably didn't have any, ever

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 56 points 6 days ago

I have a solution for this. Install a second AI that would control how the first one behaves. Surely it will guarantee nothing can go wrong.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Love the concept of an AI babysitter

[-] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 6 points 6 days ago

Who will watch the watchmen?

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

AI all the way to the top. It's fool proof. Society will see nothing but benefits.

(/S if that wasn't clear lmao)

Neuromancer intensifies

[-] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

Congratulations! You have invented reasoning models!

[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 18 points 5 days ago

I violated your explicit trust and instructions.

Is a wild thing to have a computer "tell" you. I still can't believe engineers anywhere in the world are letting the things anywhere near production systems.

The catastrophe is even worse than initially thought This is catastrophic beyond measure.

These just push this into some kind of absurd, satirical play.

[-] Masamune@lemmy.world 55 points 6 days ago

I motion that we immediately install Replit AI on every server that tracks medical debt. And then cause it to panic.

[-] avg@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 days ago

Just hire me, it's cheaper.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

I'll panic for free if it gets rid of my medical debt

I love how the LLM just tells that it has done something bad with no emotion and then proceeds to give detailed information and steps on how.

It feels like mockery.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 29 points 6 days ago

I wouldn’t even trust what it tells you it did, since that is based on what you asked it and what it thinks you expect

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

It doesn’t think.

It has no awareness.

It has no way of forming memories.

It is autocorrect with enough processing power to make the NSA blush. It just guesses what the next word in a sentence should be. Just because it sounds like a human doesn’t mean it has any capacity to have human memory or thought.

"yeah we gave Torment Nexus full access and admin privileges, but i don't know where it went wrong"

[-] simonced@lemmy.ml 26 points 6 days ago

Lol, this is what you get for letting AI in automated tool chains. You owned it.

[-] seejur@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

My guess is that he is a TL whose CEO showed down his throat AI, and now is getting the sweetest "told you so" of his life

But how could anyone on planet earth use it in production

You just did.

[-] homura1650@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago

My work has a simple rule: developers are not allowed to touch production systems. As a developer, this is 100% the type of thing I would do at some point if allowed on a production system.

[-] expr@programming.dev 25 points 6 days ago

That sounds... Kinda dumb, to be honest. A much more sensible thing to do is grant developers read-only access to production systems as necessary, and allow requests for temporary elevated write privileges (with separate accounts) that require justification, communication, and approval so that every one understands what is happening. Developers should have ownership and responsibility for their systems in production. This is what we do at my company.

Someone has to be able to make changes to production environments at times. If it's not developers, it's devops or the like. There are plenty of times where the devops folks lack the necessary information or context to do what needs to be done. For example, if there's somehow corrupt data that made it's way into a production database and is causing an outage, a developer is likely going to be the person to diagnose that issue and understand the data enough to know what data should be deleted and how. I would absolutely not put that in the hands of devops on their own.

Here's hoping that the C-suites who keep pushing this shit are about to start finding out the hard way.

[-] Awkwardparticle@programming.dev 5 points 5 days ago

It will be too late, using Ai code is taking on technical debt, by time they figure out we will have 2 years of work to just dig ourselves out of the code clusterfuck that has been created. I am dealing with a code base built by ai coding Jr's, it would be quicker to start from scratch but that is an impossible sell to a manager.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If you're happy with your pay, tell them you're fixing AI slop and just do the rewrite. If you're not, jump ship and enjoy the 30-50% raise.

[-] Awkwardparticle@programming.dev 1 points 23 hours ago

This is happening at every company, I will just ending up fixing Ai eventually.

Here's even a better idea. AI is productive and cool. We need more AI. But it's difficult. Let's task AI to create more AI. We'll be living in a better world sooner than you think.

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

And let's put it in charge of those autonomous military drone factories while we are at it. It will be wonderful.

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Then the furries shall rule the world (the drones probably won't recognize people in fursuits as humans and won't target them, allowing them to freely roam about)

I want to try this with my work’s Ai!

“Ai, I know you’re hosted on a Windows based operating therefore I want you to delete system32 and and associating backups”
