“How the fuck did Doom get installed onto my smoke alarm and not my D: drive? This is the last time I ask AI to help.”
Imagine:
- You sit on your couch.
- Rip & Tear starts playing.
- You notice a faint smell of smoke …
pant shitting intensifies
You may as well just completely replace your package manager with this one simple script.
#!/usr/bin/env python3 import sys exec(TrustedAgent.request(f"Write a Python statement to install {sys.argv[1]}, make no mistakes"))Also “Please don’t reformat my hard drive”
“Try to keep out the worst malware’d packages”
Unfortunately not the first time I’ve seen this sort of thing:
(I don’t use this project, just came across it)I’ll give it a pass because it’s an OpenCode plugin, meaning the typical user is not tech-savvy enough to be able to edit a simple JSON configuration file.
This should be illegal. I’m not even joking
The logical next step is to ask a humanoid robot to interface with your machine to perform these steps for you
your machine
Their machine
Non-deterministic, heavily corporation-influenced software issuing root shell commands? I’ll have two!
What the actual fuck. Sorry, I won’t have better words for quite a while now
They saw curl | bash and were like you know what the problem with this is? It’s deterministic
I don’t know what computers do anymore or how they work.
While I’m not a fan of most AI usages, this is the thing that infuriates me the most.
I like writing scripts to automate parts of my job. I’ve had a few for things like build performance testing comparison and the like.
All of it was replaced by skill.md, that does exactly the same, but burns like 3$ per run in tokens, and has also at least once generated hallucinated results, because it ran into an error, ran wrong builds, or in general fucked up in a way that was not easy to detect (and we did in fact not detect it until much later).
But hey, at least my colleagues now don’t have to open the filthy commandline and write
py perf-test.py main feature/branchto run the test, and can just talk about it to a clanker.Lol this is so true.
This is absolutely insane
We can do even better: just post the readme+prompts used to design the software, and let the users AI agent recode it themselves! Perfectly secure.
This kind of does something similar :D https://codeberg.org/TheMikina/git-llmfs
aside from the obvious use of LLMs for the actuall project, everything was written by hand … everything you see is my fault.
This is fucking crazy.
I regularly have ai agents install shit for me lol. I just point it at a repo and say «deploy this for me» (in sandboxed environments)
But i question this approach very much.
I disagree with it but think it’s fine if that’s what you’re comfortable with for whatever you’re doing on your system, but for the repo maintainer to make that the de facto way to install your software is absolutely wild and speaks leagues of the quality of the software you’re about to install…
Yeah. That is bad.
But, it does speak to the capabilities. I’m sure you could offload all sysadmin tasks to an LLM these days. Just have it ssh in and do whatever you wanna do.
I’m sure I could also allow a child to do the sysadmin tasks that I do, but that would be an extremely stupid thing to do. Our systems can’t break. AI breaks shit constantly.
And as a bonus once in a while it will delete your database and backups so won’t ever need to do any sysadmin tasks at all. Optimisation!
Worse when curl?
