Seems like user error, I’m no programmer but even I lnow you don’t give an agent access to critical things, and Claude is very insistent at asking for permission at every step.
Thus completelly eliminating all bugs and data incorrections in Production!
That right there is the sweet smell of Victory!
Efficient, tho.
Don’t blame, Credit. Credit CloudStrike.
Dance, rich. Dance and don’t stop cuz I ain’t a single Arnold Schwarzenegger saving your ass.
PocketOS founder blames ‘Cursor running Anthropic’s flagship Claude Opus 4.6’
Fuck that. I’m blaming the PocketOS founder and every person in the chain of decisions that led to a clanker being given this level of unrestricted access to the database and the backups.
So what? Gen AI can build a new database and populate it with data 🤷♂️ /s
If you are going to give an LLM a free pass to your whole prod database least you should do is to take weekly (or daily if plausible) offline backups of it. A hard limit against deleting stuff would be better.
Man who shit his own pants horrified that his pants are full of shit.
Demands explanation from pants vendor.
I can’t believe that they criticized the vendor api for not having confirmation.
It’s a freaking API!!! It’s designed for automation, not direct human (or LLM!) use. If you added confirmation then devs would have to code automatic acceptance, which defeats the purpose.
It doesn’t make a bit of sense. Someone is passing the buck.
Everything is always somebody else’s fault.
Yelling, “Who’s shit is this!?”
Fuck around and find out
This is fun to read. I hope people will have their actual intelligence activated after this.
They won’t but they will continue to accidentally create content for my amusement :D
Listen to Dimmu Borgir and MJK’s Puscifer to their mediots.
I want to watch the old rich fucking dance on cam to that to.
If you are giving your codegen LLM - the model involved truly, genuinely doesn’t matter - admin access to your prod env, all I’m going to do is point and laugh.
Also no prompts, ironically, for operations like “Are you sure you want to delete the production database? (y/N)”
It’s amateur hour all around lol
Just to add - AND ACCESS TO THE BACKUPS!!
No one should be able to delete or change backups. This infra was in any case vulnerable to a ransomware attack as any bad actor that breaks in can delete the database and encrypt the backups with a key they promise to share in return for bitcoin.
and having the backups stored in the same location as the primary data
Then it’s not a backup, it’s just duplicated data.
Just a shit show top to bottom for sure
Son of Anton strikes again!
wiping a volume deletes all backups
that sounds like a wonderful backup system 😂
Hot take: offsite, offline backups are so cool right now.
Analogue is the next big thing.
Hotter take: do not give an LLM agent permissions you wouldn’t give a recently hired junior
Actually this is how AI should be viewed. Under the right circumstances it maybe saves lots of time, but it also might destroy, so treat it like you would an intern…
Yup, follow the 3-2-1 rule or you don’t have backups
hell I’ve got a better backup methodology with my fucking cat photos
No bro you don’t understand, Claude needs access to backups so it can restore them in case something breaks because our senior dev ($50k, 2YoE) doesn’t know how to do it
