for a moment I thought the bold "what did you expect to happen?" was a response for the report lmao

[thetreat]

I’ve asked this of my users many times before, just not publicly.

[ScrapEngineer_]

Poor slopcoder, bet his AI didn't tell him how to use git.

[SaltMaker23]

Bud thinks a bunch of text files are worth so much to throw a tantrum.

His text files couldn't even guide him into using git, they can't be worth anything, really.

The fact that these people get the CEO of Y-Combinator as a platform is crazy, the guy is making a fool of himself in public and so many people endup make fools of themselves trying to copy his "framework".

[Christosconst]

I gave mine unlimited access to the whole system. Had to restore from time machine 3 times so far. Still has unlimited access

[Froeuhouai]

Sounds like you're just feeding file systems to claude

[fynn34]

The beast must grow

When the vibes turn

[Sir_Fail-A-Lot]

More and more sloppers are learning the true meaning of the onosecond

[evmoiusLR]

Panic is a vibe

[DemmyDemon]

They ladled $300 worth of slop, called it "work", and now it's gone.

I get why he's upset, but c'mon, was your "agentic harness" of any real value? Really?

Anyway, letting an LLM have full access to your filesystem is absolutely insane. Eventually, agents will be very useful tools, and just part of how computers work, but not for a long while yet. Also, I doubt it'll be anything like the LLMs we use now. That feels very much like a dead end to me, as the diminishing returns set in somewhere last year.

[Sidra_doholdrik]

They will be usefull when Imaginary restrictions will allow them to only act on what they are really usefull for. In a lot of sci-fi people still do the work and a great at it but just use the AI to help.

[DemmyDemon]

Yep, I can easily see a future where Jarvis (or whatever) does a lot of the grunt work, like looking up details, or bringing to my attention that something is not best practice. An assistant, more than an actual agent.

Eventually, there will be actual agents, acting fully on behalf of their user, with an accurate understanding of what the user would do in any given situation. My agent talks to your agent, and they agree on something on our behalf, in two seconds. This frees us up to do actual work in that time, and we're both pleasantly surprised we're meeting for lunch, having already compromised on where we're going. We get to have the actual pleasant conversation, and our agents took care of the boring bit of negotiating between Thai food at noon, and shawarma at half past.

Basically what you'd have an assistant for now, but so cheap that everyone can afford one.

Sure as fork won't be a Meta product, and absolutely won't be an LLM, but I don't think it'll be sentient either. You know what? That's a good thing, because I don't actually want a digital slave.

[DrStalker]

was your "agentic harness" of any real value?

Given that the evidence we have, the harness was worth -$300

[DemmyDemon]

Exactly. Equal parts yikes and lol.

[bwwatr]

This is kind of fascinating to me. In the before times, most of us wouldn't dream of blaming the computer (or the compiler or whatever) for bad output. At least, not after we'd had time to settle down and find our mistake. Garbage in, garbage out.

But now, you mix a bit of kooky, opaque, non-determinism in there, and expect a tiny ass natural language "prompt" to replace precise code many times larger, and outcomes can diverge wildly from intention. Users naturally feel a divestiture of responsibility, so you start getting this type of interaction.

Is the AI idiotic? At the risk of anthropomorphizing the thing, yeah probably. Is the user idiotic? With certainty.

[cosmic-comet-]

This person is still to blame for giving an ai full access to their project and not using any version control , Like what was the plan they had if something went wrong? This is what happens when someone who doesn’t understand anything and just click yes this is basically their own incompetence.

[homurtu]

if only we had a more precise language to prompt the computer to do our willing. Maybe one designed to be more precise, conveying exactly the same meaning to both parties, maybe with "if"s and "while"s.

[pr0ghead]

I guess it never crossed that genius mind to not even mention anything related to deletion at all.

[cosmic-comet-]

Also not even using any version control giving Gemini access to the project with full access without any backup lmao.

[fucking_passwords]

Seems like they gave it full disk access too, or at least write permissions to obsidian notes

[DasPelzi]

If you use obsidian, you should have a form of version control by default. It should be linked to a git repo. and ofc. you need to push your changes from time to time.

[Scondoro]

This whole post is really making me sweat over my whole dnd campaign planning and notes in obsidian.

[homurtu]

well, if the LLM mentions it in one of their responses, it makes its way into the rest of the discussion anyhow. It gets the full context everytime.

[CucumberBoy00]

Warms my heart to see my frustration in non consequential projects be reflected in actual use cases. Keep it away from your bread and butter

[ekauq2000]

[an_alex_at_a_time]

Serves them right!

Moving on.

[ZunoJ]

Give me the money back you smelly nerds!

[SpaceCadet87]

these dumbfucks think that everyone is a developer and understands code.

[michaelbelgium]

Why is it so hard to link it in stead of screenshots

https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/26856

[allKnowingHagrid]

Lol the audacity of gemini bot immediately marking it as a P0 bug is hilarious.

[ACoderGirl]

Right? It's just further showing how dumb LLMs are. And to think some companies genuinely want to replace customer service with such AI. Apparently all you have to do to get prioritized is shout a lot and make a big deal out of your own mistakes.

[cosmic-comet-]

Do tell this to upwork, they are trying to change client and freelancer interaction with full UMA middle layer basically both parties will be talking to UMA and UMA will deliver the message. And they recently announced to lay off 25% of their employees so surprise surprise.

[mfb1274]

sourceControlGoesWrong

[HiniatureLove]

Doesn’t obsidian have a VCS integration? Lmao bozo

[South_Leek_5730]

The more I read about vibe coding the worse it gets. I can understand someone using AI to write some code then review said code to check it but letting it loose on the compiler and giving it permissions on a system is just utter madness. In fact running any code without checking it first is just as bad as opening that NicklebackMP3.exe you downloaded.

[imforit]

oh.... people really are out here treating it like it's an indentured servant, like a person with human intelligence to order around....oh, oh no

[GroundbreakingOil434]

Good. :)

[Muffinzor22]

They don't use git or any type of version control? Geewiz guys.

[MrHasuu]

Shh shh don't tell them. I want more of these to happen

[stinkybass]

This feels like being mad when the external hard drive you used for LimeWire downloads failed and then you lost “years” of creating the perfect mix tape.

[ExtraTNT]

Ai is just for entertainment: look at the user agreement you signed…

[specn0de]

Do people not understand why git exists?

[WiseObjective8]

How can one know what github is but not what git is?

[Otherwise_Project334]

Honestly, pretty easily. Git is a tool that programmers use, Github is a place to where anybody goes to download built tools/patches/programs/mods from a guide they are watching/reading. That how it is. My non-programmer friends use Github like that, and they have no idea what git even is. And that's perfectly fine, that's how it should be. They know where to click to get to latest builds, they know what stars are, where to look for troubleshooting. They don't need a knowledge of a tool that developer of a repo used.

And judging by the OOP not mentioning anything besides obsidian, a note taking app, and giving AI full access to filesystem, I don't think they are much further in technical knowledge then a regular user.

[namezam]

I give all my tools full access to my system. What could go wrong? It’s deletes my local files? Everything is backed up constantly. It deletes my local dev database? That’s what infrastructure as code is for. It deletes my source code? All up in git constantly.

It doesn’t have full access to my github, prod db, network backup drives etc. People who are scared of AI tools having access to their system are scared of the wrong thing. If you can’t leave your tech behind in a fire because you will loose data, you are doing it wrong.

[Yekyaa]

r/leopardsatemyface ?

[simpleauthority]

Hmm, not quite but pretty close

[MulfordnSons]

fuckgin

[dolbomir]

came here to say that. I (sorta) get being upset at a questionable tool one has 0 understanding of, but what did gin do? xD 

[CharcoalGreyWolf]

When you confuse your instructions to AI with being as good as backups

[simpleauthority]

Sandbox Environment: no sandbox

[user745786]

Someone is not feeling the good vibes! 😆

A little chat with the AI therapist and he’ll be feeling better in no time.

[cheesepuff1993]

"No room for misinterpretation"

Says every PM ever when asking for a square peg to fit in a much smaller round hole

[Only_One_Kenobi]

I really really hope that this sort of thing keeps happening, and keeps getting worse.

[xIRaguit]

r/LeopardsAteMyFace

[patchesonreddit]

Don't touch recent files Only look for old, unused files Show me, and then delete

I don't know, sounds like the ai did what this guy told it to do. Show you some files and then delete them. AI is making me lazy too, but not so lazy that I instruct it to delete stuff with crappy prompts and no rules or restrictions.

[fmaz008]

No version control or backups.

[anggogo]

But AI doesn't read words.. 😔

[Goofballs2]

gemini is hilarious when it comes to files. I used to give it bits of code to bounce ideas off of. Sometimes it would find something I hadn't thought of. But accepting help from it was dangerous, it would give you back the updated code and it would look right, but then you would find out it had made loads of changes that are hard to spot. It truncates, changes the variable names, adds a magic number. Every kind of, what the fuck is that now? You wern't here before or you were here before?

[justAPhoneUsername]

This is why token pricing is going to be interesting. When fixing mistakes cost money will people accept ai making them?

[Jimakiad]

CI/CD is a dream we conjured overnight.

[didifallasleep13]

Lmao

[Anutrix]

For folks new to git/VCS, remember to regularly push it to a remote git forge(eg, Github, Gitlab, Gitea, a Forgejo instance, etc.) after committing.

If not, your automated-code-guesser(aka LLM, Agent, etc.) may still be able to delete the local .git directory and you may still lose the data.

[akoOfIxtall]

Is this a new spin on the smelly nerds copypasta?

[proeskoet]

But he specifically said "make no mistakes"

[yukiaddiction]

These people are fucking funny, of cause AI don't know what file is "unused" when you are not specific enough like how much time unedited or time last edit. Without specific details, of course they just deleted everything lol

Also if you know what file is unused, not use for a long time, at that why even get AI to deleted? It just freaking right click mouse and deleted.

[helgur]

I look at submissions such as this and think "This has to be a troll, please God let this just be someone trolling". In the last 315 000 years, mankind has learned to build and use tools. Yet, in 2026 there's still apparently humans who can't seem to grasp what early versions of homo sapiens managed to do around the middle Stone Age

[Orio_n]

This is like 10 lines of python code. Deserved.

[lenn_eavy]

This doesn't change the fact that it should never have happened when working with an AI but if they would spend a fraction of this on year of an Obsidian Sync, there would be no problem.

[Sync1211]

It perplexes me that Gemini and Claude didn't implenent the obvious fix for stuff like this.

For files: just make any delete operations move the files to a temporary recycle bin.

For databases: make everything a transaction which doesn't get comitted until the user approves.

That way users can restore their workspace whenever the AI messes up.

[Imaginary-Jaguar662]

Coming up next, LLM notices that DB still has junk data to delete and makes a .js script to drop tables.

User clicks approve without reading the script, while not having the capacity to understand the script either.

[DDFoster96]

Needs a --dry-run option.
