“Did I give you permission to delete my D:\ drive?”
Hmm… the answer here is probably YES. I doubt whatever agent he used defaulted to the ability to run all commands unsupervised.
He either approved a command that looked harmless but nuked D:\ OR he whitelisted the agent to run rmdir one day, and that whitelist remained until now.
There’s a good reason why people that choose to run agents with the ability to run commands at least try to sandbox it to limit the blast radius.
This guy let an LLM raw dog his CMD.EXE and now he’s sad that it made a mistake (as LLMs will do).
Next time, don’t point the gun at your foot and complain when it gets blown off.
