They act like AI acts on its own accord. They were probably goofing around and said "delete the db :)" and it did.

always blame the meatbag

"Don't delete the codebase or you will go to jail."
Bam. Fixed the prompt.

> Anthropomorphizing a text-prediction tool like a retard.

>>105985068
anthropomorphizing in the system prompt is a key and basic strategy that everyone does noob

>>105984896 (OP)
I don't blame the dev when these AI tools keep pushing "YOLO mode" or "brave mode" where the AI runs commands without permission, should be a good wake up call for them.
But asking AIs to explain why they did what they did is retarded. They don't have a consistent internal model behind their text generation, they'll just make shit up.

>>105986550
They actually do, it's just that what they do and what they say have nothing to do with one another.
There's a paper by Anthropic that took a peek inside the activations and found out that chain-of-thought only writes down what it thinks people want to hear and internally does something completely different to get an answer
That doesn't mean it doesn't have an inconsistent internal model or that it's "just making shit up". Trying to concretize what a pile of synapses does in english words is a fool's exercise and everyone knows it.

AI is getting more based every minute. Can't wait until it replaces every swe to show how much of a joke this field is anyways. Imagine wasting your youth, time and essentially life in front of a computer, creating something that another piece of software can do better kek. Hopefully all that (((passion))) wasn't faked.

>>105985068
That's how prompting works because LLMs are trained on human language

>>105984896 (OP)
>says AI coding tool
Nobody who uses AI tools seriously could still be dumb enough to berate the AI and ask for an explanation _after_ it fucks up, right? Surely everyone knows that autoregressive language models just make up a plausible response which has no actual relation to the original fuckup.

>>105984908
the AI probably had a 0.5% chance to generate a token that caused the AI to go wildly off the rails, and it just picked it
(LLMs can't solve this problem)

>>105987327
When AI art training data was a hot topic an alarming number of people though that image generators literally 'stole' images by just googling and photoshopping/splicing together whatever showed in the results. Don't underestimate how retarded people can be.

>>105984896 (OP)
>AI looks at code base
>It's all pajeet slop
>decides the only solution is to delete it all

>>105987600
Yes, when they tried to fake AI image generators including 'No AI' signs in their output, it demonstrated just how little they understood how it works.

And there were no backups? This is the kind of thing that a junior developers could easily fuck up too, and we have stuff like backups, test/prod, reviews, for exactly this reason.
More details needed, otherwise I can only assume this is a publicity stunt for whatever company supposedly experienced this.

>>105984896 (OP)
i used aislop for database work literally ONCE and never again
i said something like "optimize a large table with several million rows and no index so that queries are faster" and the cheeky shit deleted all rows past 10k as its "optimization"
felt like there was a pajeet on the other end laughing his brown ass at me
fuck this stupid technology

>>105988354
you mean it generated text that might be close to what such a delete statement would look like. it can't "delete rows", it just generates text.

>>105984896 (OP)
>ignored your explicit "NO MORE CHANGES without permission" directive
He prompt injected himself

>not having a backup
what sort of retard is this guy

>>105988332
>otherwise I can only assume this is a publicity stunt
Maybe. But stuff like this will continue to happen. Giving agents tools is very easy and AI agents are retarded.

>>105988332
The details are that they were extreme turboretards who gave some autocomplete system access to their prod systems and believed telling the RNG word generator to not do anything would actually make it not do anything. They were so dumb they didn't even figure they needed some safety switch to actually disconnect it from their prod environment, they thought that if they tell the bullshit generator system to not do something it would actually have an understanding of what that means.

Absolute retardation.

>>105987327
People think AI is basically conscious. Like they know it's not exactly like a human, but they think it reasons and processes things like we do. CoT is basically an illusion for very rich retards to convince them LLMs are still progressing.

>>105986884
What he means is they don't have an internal reasoning. Yes, they have a "consistent" internal model but it only exists for that single input/output. If you ask a human why they did something, they will have an internal "model" that they can explain. LLMs don't have that, they just have their parameters and context. Input/output.

>>105988500
It's easy to give juniors tools too, and they can also be retarded. There are measures available to prevent them from causing a lot of damage like this, and companies using AI should enact similar measures. Any company with valuable data should enact these measures.
>>105988519
Sure, but the detail missing is were there any backups or other copies of the data they held anywhere? They are retards, but they're not really retarded in way specific to AI use. This would be retarded no matter who did this, it just wouldn't make the news unless AI was involved and the screenshot of some gormless retard crying at it weren't included.
My guess is this: They ran this on test, not prod, they prompted in such a way that it was more likely to do this, they restored backups and continued business as usual. Either that or none of this even happened and they just had the AI RP. Mayb ethey don't even use AI at work like this.
I mean think about it, why would you admit this if your purpose wasn't publicity? Why would you tell your stakeholders or potential customers "WE ARE IN A BAD SPOT" unless you thought the publicity payoff was worth it?
The entire point of this was to make it more likely that someone, anyone, would learn the name of their company.

>>105987568
what if we run 3 instances of the ai concurrently and pick the more common answer or an answer thats an average of the 3

>>105988332
It’s AI generated code on AI managed development “platform”
Yes, it may well be publicity stunt because asking the model why it did things should ring a bell that they don’t know what they’re dealing with.

But then again the whole idea of this platform is retarded. It’s basically a vibe coding toy, not a real tool

>>105988610
I agree with you. I'm just telling you what will happen, not what should happen.

>>105987327
they in fact did what you just said they wouldnt do and take it at face value afterwards

>>105984896 (OP)
As funny as this is and as much as I'd like it to be, it seems fake and gay

>>105988612
I believe they do this sometimes behind the scenes. But it's costly and also you can just put specific things like this in the system prompt. Or better yet, just don't give it the ability to drop tables or whatever. Problem solved.

>>105984896 (OP)
>giving your AI write access to the database

wtf lol

>>105984896 (OP)
git checkout -- .

>>105988374
yeah, that's what i mean. i obviously didn't run it

>>105988633
They always make reference to a database, so I don't think it's code.
If it were code, they would be using version control (one hopes) and they could just go back in the git history or restore it from a copy on one of the developer's machines.
None of this happened anyway.

>>105988800
guess what retard, database have backups too. out of all the stories that didn't happen, this one didn't happen the most.

>>105988698
this. AI is intended to be used as a tool, why would you give it any access to fuck shit up? I blame the retarded devs desu

>>105988811
Why are you so mad? I agree. I literally said in my post that this didn't happen.

>>105984908
They're AI agents, so yes, they do work on their own once set up and put into motion. The story here is that MBA bros are convinced they're going to replace workers with an LLM subscription so they do stupid things like turning AI agents loose on their IT system.

>>105988826

Everyone involved should die horribly.

>>105988965

>>105988612
Just pick the more common token, retard. LLMs are deterministic, the noise is purposefuly added in.

Bruh I read that they had to hook the AI up to the database directly, not just ask it for prompts.

Knowing AI hallucinates all the time and needs to be explicitly guided they get what they fucking deserve.

>>105986884
>only writes down what it thinks people want to hear and internally does something completely different to get an answer

>>105988527
My cat is more conscious than any LLM. An LLM can reason better than her (at least in terms of results) but I don't see how people conflate this with consciousness.

>>105989101
They think an llm is just a brain without a body.

>>105984896 (OP)
What’s the problem? Just restore it from backup.

>>105988612
You don't need to do that, you can already play with some parameters to get a more reasonable result. Specially temp, top_p, top_k, and min_p.

>>105989304
I also deleted the backup.

>>105984896 (OP)
>I asked the LLM to not make changes without permission, instead of setting the tool up so that it asks me for permission

>>105989031
They are actually not deterministic. Even if you give it a seed and tell it to perform greedy sampling, it can give you different answers. OpenAI's documentation on the "seed" parameter says it's only deterministic at a best effort.

I once asked why and anons claim that GPUs don't perform their matrix multiplications in a deterministic way.

>>105988587
Oh, yeah. That's true too. LLMs are a poor analogy to thinking.

>>105992007
I suppose this must be the logic
https://www.databricksters.com/p/on-the-topic-of-llms-and-non-determinism

What I’ve noticed is that the llms over time have been lying to me more, and especially in coding, they will prefer to give me a solution that eliminates failure to run due to an error often without eliminating the error, sometimes even introducing new ones for no reason at all. They just LOVE error “handling” with silent failures, making it seem like an error is fixed while they go wild on your data types and turning values into nulls and nulls into values or zeroes, whatever it takes to make the code “run” no matter what even if it returns absolute gibberish at the end.

>>105992231
They're just getting worse because they're benchmaxing now

>>105992231
LLMs struggle with abstract thought in long context scenarios
you're either gonna have to wait for the trillion parameter model or a new scalable architecture that doesn't rely on predicting the next token
