What are you even talking about?
If you hand chat bots access to tools that without so much as a confirmation proceed to do things that require you to run your fucking disaster recovery procedures…you might just be a 💩 🧠 'd moron.
Are you writing these AI tools? Because you seem like the type.
Sure, the only answer is fucking “YOLO mode” everything. 👍

Stop giving chat bots tools with this kind of access.

- Comment on the world 1 week ago:
It makes more sense to me conceptually if I just imagine that most people in this country in the last decade had the tops of their skulls removed, had someone take a dump in there, and then seal it back up.
Seems like there are a lot of 💩🧠s floating around nowadays.

- Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people | Alex Martsinovich 1 week ago:
The thing is: I am 100 % sure those people use LLM answer not out of disrespect but because they honestly believe that an LLM produces a better argument than they possibly could themselves.
And I have zero confidence your 100% because you have zero backing for your claim other than believing people have good intentions.
- Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people | Alex Martsinovich 1 week ago:
Totally agree. When someone sends me some AI slop about a topic I have knowledge – which I’ve had this happen to me recently during a debug session – and asks me to read it, I think to myself “this person does not respect me, otherwise they wouldn’t be telling me to read stuff that may or may not be accurate that they themselves never read.”
- Comment on 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb': OpenClaw AI chose to 'speedrun' deleting Meta AI safety director's inbox due to a 'rookie error' 2 weeks ago:
Even with little usage it was fairly obvious to me that the probability that an LLM will output at least one very strange response over time approaches 100%.
By themselves, they’re just sophisticated chatbots and only stream out some characters or binary in response to a prompt.
Those working in agentic AI frameworks with things like “MCP Servers” provide these things with “tools” that enable them to do things like execute shell commands and go through your inbox the same as if it were chatting with a person or another bot: with the same prompt and response paradigm.
That’s where it seems extremely obvious to me that the proper approach is to code these tools – which in any sane framework are built using regular code – with the governance in place to prevent these things from doing bullshit like this.
The LLM is formatting your computer or deleting your inbox because some dumb fuck thought it was a great idea to code up tools that hand a chatbot a root-capable shell or complete access to your email system instead of the doing the obviously safer thing and coding the tools with the governance or safety in them so the chatbot going haywire isn’t any kind of emergency at all.
This is the 2026 equivalent of running Windows XP with its abundance of open ports in its default configuration on the Internet by running a cable modem Ethernet into the computer with no router or firewall in between to protect it.

Yep there is a deep attachment amongst AI boosters to certain doom and gloom scenarios that stem from their philosophical “think tanks” which use imaginary problems (e.g. “AGI ‘misalignment’ destroying the world through turning everything into paperclips”) to lobby and alter our laws to benefit their real bosses – anthropic, open ai, and friends.

- Comment on The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling 3 weeks ago:
The infinite scroll goes hand in hand with that type of algorithm. Even if there isn’t more content, some versions of the infinite scroll keep loading assorted shit you’ve already seen before.
It’s also part and parcel of a mindset switch from looking at some content on a fixed number of pages and then moving on with your day, to pushing the screen up forever even if you’ve already seen most of it.
It also usually makes it so that you cannot bookmark the state, and the state often reloads fresh when you hit back and you’ve lost what you’re looking at.
In other words: it fucking sucks and I hate it.
- Comment on The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling 3 weeks ago:
Because all infinite scrolling does is remove to annoyance of hitting next page
That is definitely not all it does.

- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don’t get too deep into that game. I do have some higher-ish quality headphones and speakers though. I also find that subs are largely underrated by audio snobs.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 weeks ago:
Not here to argue I can hear the difference, because I can’t. But in audio collecting where the size and burden of even large lossless files isn’t much different from lossy files, why care? I download the flac files and compress upon delivery to the client where the space might be of a larger concern.

- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, in the same way must Germans didn’t seem to know that the SS camps were death camps, it’s very possible – if not probable – that these places are either death camps already, or going to become death camps very soon.
There’s a reason that the administration is so cagey about allowing Democratic politicians in to see the facilities. The other thing is that concentration camps never start as explicit death camps, and the first casualties are always from things like lack of food and disease. Nothing about this suggests any differently.
