same!… heck work updated my laptop from win10 to 11 and now the “Windows App” won’t run… IT dude gave up trying to fix it and order a swap

This is a laptop used, at most once a week, for regular office bs and it basically self destroyed just through windose updates

hahahaha good additional details on the analogy

It’s more like offering a plumber a room in your house to stay in 24/7 so they can be on-call when you need them.

Again I get your point… but no reasonable plumber would make that mistake.

If I invite the dumbest plumber alive into my home, show him the leaky tub and say “I have to work but do whatever you need”… they would understand the context to mean “do whatever you need to fix the tub”… I doubt they would go make themselves a sandwich, grab a beer from the fridge and invite their buddies for a BBQ at my place and then say “but you said I could do whatever I needed”

I absolutely understand what happened here. The point is there is no benefit to these Agentic AIs because they need to be as supervised as a monkey with a knife… why would I ever want that? let alone need that

Loving my Linux wife… 15 years of computer bliss and counting! hehehehe

This is EXACTLY the YouTube woodworkers dilemma…

TONs of YT channels to show people how to do woodwork would normally showcase $50K worth of equipment to show how to make a cutting board.

The thing is, people with access to such equipment, already know how to make a cutting board and are learning nothing from you… on the other hand, newbies who what to know what is this “sanding” thing they have heard, will not benefit from the vid since they do not have those tools, they’d have crappy manual tools at most.

Therefore, those videos are completely useless for learning… at best, they made for good background noise while people eat their lunches in their cubicles

Absolutely… this just illustrates that these AI tools are, at best, some assistance that need to be kept on a very short leash… which can only be properly done by people who already know how to do the work the AI is supposed to assist with.

But that is NOT what the AI bubblers are peddling

No, not at all

I get what you are saying but any reasonable entity would understand that telling someone at the door “come in”, does not mean “come in my wife’s ass”

Specifically the “without permission” in the title, relates to the fact the AI did not ask about it… it simply took a previously granted right to run commands and ran any/all commands without warning.

If you and I were working on a project together and nothing is working right, I could say “hmm let’s start over” and you would know it means “let’s start the project from scratch”, not “let’s wipe the data centre”

AI bullshit

ask Microsoft, they want to give their access to your entire computer… and you’ll love it or else…

That implies the user understands every single code with every single parameters. That’s impossible even for experience programmers

I wouldn’t say impossible but I would say it completely defeats the purpose of these agentic AIs

Either I know and understand these commands so well I can safely evaluate them, therefore I really do not need the AI… or, I don’t really know them well and therefore I shouldn’t use the AI

hmmm when I let a plumber into my house to fix my leaky tub, I didn’t imply he had permission to sleep with my wife who also lives in the house I let the plumber into

The difference you try to make is precisely what these agentic AIs should know to respect… which they won’t because they are not actually aware of what they are doing… they are like a dog that “does math” simply by barking until the master signals them to stop

just openly bribe the idiot king

THAT’s a feature I recognize from Microsoft

… and nothing of value was lost

But many will, everyone today who is used to constant ads will.

wouldn’t it stand to reason, many current users are engaged because chatGPT produces faster shitty search results without ads? compared to the alternative shitty slower search results with ads?
