  • “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.















  • I clicked through and had to go to a second linked article(!) for the top 5. The #1 is “Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas”, which is pretty much a blue city now.

    This doesn’t really support your claim that “they are all red”. Also, we call a “blueish spot surrounded by red” a blue city.

    From what I am learning about in this thread is there isn’t really the idea of a “red city”, so when people talk shit about “blue cities” they are just talking about city life in general. There does not appear to be any very large cities filled with Republicans.






  • I hear this argument over and over again: “Why should I bother recycling? China is poisoning the planet.” It’s like reverse-whataboutism. I find it really lazy and a pointless attitude. The argument generalizes to: “Why do anything good when bad exists in the world?”

    Cleanliness is its own reward. I can tell you if I lived in stink-town where 100% of everyone else’s house was a festering mess, I would keep mine clean.


  • Being ecologically friendly is its own reward.

    If your neighbor’s house and lawn is cluttered with garbage and rotting food, do you also let your house gather the same?

    Or do you wish they did a better job and kept your house clean all the same?

    What if you had 95 neighbors all full of garbage and rotted food? Is there any number that would make you do the same?
