  • Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue

    Jump

  • Seems to be, yes. The AI had the access it needed to do the job it was given, and that access allowed it to cause the problem.

    The alternative that would have prevented this issue was to not use AI for this.

  • this is an "Don't allow anyone access your backups without following protocol." problem.

    Congratulations you just identified the AI problem.

  • Yes it’s ok, in general. It’s not the most modern or efficient way of managing infrastructure but it’s worked for decades now. It all depends on what you’re hosting, for who, and for how many people.

    If you’re hosting internal company infrastructure for a relatively static number of users in a single of set few regions to deliver to, bare metal monolithic stuff is absolutely fine. It’s when you’re an app or service company and your infrastructure is for the back end for a public service that needs to be able to scale dynamically, and you’re worried about high 24/7 uptime, and latency to end users is a global issue that things like microservice architecture, containerization, and iac starts becoming important.

    The whole containerization crazy is important for microservices architecture where you split your app into different pieces. This lets you scale different parts of you app as needed, it prevents your entire app from failing just because one part of it failed, it allows for lifecycle management like blue/green deployments with no downtime, allows developers to work on different parts of the app and update at a faster cadence than one big release for the entire thing every time you update one small part of it, things like that.

  • you think by the end of the year Meta will have 10,000 less employees than it did at the start?

    No, I think it will have even less.

  • Leak Shows ICE Planning to Use Facial Recognition Glasses to Identify Targets in Real Time

  • I mean court’s not really a factor. The surveillance tech is only to help identify targets. One they nab you that’s it. The Supreme Court already ruled that it’s ok for them to target people based only on race. The confidence level of the tech against your covered face is sorta irrelevant in this scenario.

  • Not really. It’s trivial to match your face. If you use an iPhone with FaceID it won’t miss a beat. You have to cover your full face, head, and eyes.

    The problem with this is that the idea of “KN95 and a hoodie” is that you’d still reasonably blend in. By the time you reach the point t of covering every identified part of your head, you’d also stick out like a sore thumb which doesn’t help you when the camera surveilling you is attached to the face of an ICE agent looking specifically in your direction.

  • That won’t work either and it’s very difficult as a matter of fact.

  • These work patterns are becoming common and that’s precisely the problem.

    This industry is also very vast and doesn’t just include the big tech companies. When all the big tech companies are doing layoffs like this there is no lateral or upward mobility. Many of these employees move downwards pushing out plenty of employees without the high salaries and mobilities. Some of those less mobile employees leave the industry entirely and flood others affecting those as well.

    The idea that these layoffs affect only the people laid off is not accurate. 10,000 fewer jobs means 10,000 fewer jobs. In a country that does not have enough jobs for everyone who is willing and able to work, every lob lost is a net negative for an entire industry. When this continues year over year it’s not just the big tech sycophants who are negatively affected. This shit rolls downhill to every already underpaid high school IT employee.

  • PlayStation is planning to add age verification to its consoles

    Jump

  • If they were to verify your age using the credit card you probably already have on file to pay for the social features they’re age-gating, then that would be one thing. But of course they use a third party biometrics company with a proven history of leaking biometric data and require a government ID or a face scan, neither of which they’ll be getting from me lol.

  • Yeah the thing that pro-ai zealots don’t get is that if they’re right and AI is the future, then being left behind is ultimately not up to you. The point of AI is to leave workers behind. Embracing it doesn’t do anything to save you, it just accelerates the end of your own job.

  • In America, your life is very much dependent on your job. Your healthcare is intrinsically tied to it, we have little to no safety nets protecting you when you lose it, and yet it’s a country with little to no employee protection laws. We’re in the middle of a recession and there aren’t enough jobs for everyone. They will not be hiring 10% back next month. At best these employees with their good credentials will got other jobs in the tech sector pushing out 10,000 other tech workers. People will go hungry, people will not be able to get medicine they need to survive.

    It used to be that layoffs were something companies did as an emergency last resort. Now people’s livelihoods are cast aside as casually as you would pick a new color to paint the office walls.
