@neurovagrant also, people still not doing backups/restore testing, no zfs, no jails / containers / other restrictions. Kids these days.
@dch right?
the fundamentals do not disappear regardless of the presence of spicy autocorrect

@neurovagrant In 2005, we had a rookie security consultant doing a penetration test for our client. To demonstrate that the client's app was vulnerable to SQL injection, he ran
drop table users;via injection.Twenty years of progress means we can make the rookie mistakes faster and with fewer employees.
@paco@infosec.exchange @neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org I suppose he managed to prove his point...

@neurovagrant To prove that this gun is not loaded I will shoot you in the face with it.

we should all start posting fakeslop and fake reddit threads advising rm -rf as the solution to many tech problems

@neurovagrant Ah yes, a classical case of running untrusted software and being surprised by negative outcomes.

@neurovagrant thats why dev machines are VM's for me and before I start to "dev" you make a backup. I think its time we teach about backups now.

@neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org I heard they also set it recently so that by default it will be able to run destructive commands without requesting permission
Don’t know why anyone would trust this stuff -

@neurovagrant I realize that formal verification is a real pain; but I can't help but get the strong impression that software's experiments with downright belligerent levels of dumb empiricism might be going badly.
It's like watching civil engineers overcome with excitement at the velocities achievable under "hold my beer" standards and practices.

If you ask a human to explain an action, they think back to what they were thinking at the time. LLMs don't do that, because LLM's don't think.
GenAI engines are chatbots. They generate text. They match your prompt against some subset of the billions of rules they have and the combination of rules that trigger most strongly determines the response, one word at a time.
The only honest explanation for “why this behaviour and not that behaviour” would be “these rules triggered more strongly than those rules”.

@paco and without ever learning any valuable lessons

@jrdepriest @jztusk @paco @neurovagrant "oh, it's only data exfil, that's not so bad" Some people have very limited imaginations, and need an unequivocal demonstration.
@womble @jrdepriest @jztusk @paco @neurovagrant "Limited?"
