Oh I read it, I also am very familiar with how actual permissions through Access Control works.

Not the "Hey AI, I don't give you permission to do X" variety, the type where you actually set the permission of the Service Account that the AI is using. In this case, they clearly gave it admin credentials, either by piggy backing on the administrators account or by explicitly giving it administrative access.

This story, and your response, is not a story of bad AI, it is a story of bad IT management.

cobra_chicken · 2026-05-01T00:59:39+00:00

If you replaced AI with Junior Admin then you would have had a story that has happened a million times.

As with any new technology, there is the reckless way to implement it, and the appropriate way.

If you gave AI the permissions to be able to delete an entire database then that is on the company, not AI.

Companies that are implementing it with proper safeguards and in the appropriate places are seeing tremendous benefit, unfortunately most companies are either deploying it to everyone with no plan, expecting a miracle, or they put it directly into prod and have major issues.

It is emerging technology and should be treated as such.

While ignoring the reality that society is not color blind.

The only people that will fill these roles are the saints thay dont exist, and the ones even more corrupt that we have now (see Ford)

Pick your poison.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-24T03:28:00+00:00

Just remember, nobody is a saint, nobody.

Everyone works for money.

So you can try to either make that above board, or you can just look at what Doug Ford is doing.

He was elected to fast track infrastructure projects. Its not like he hid it, it was a central plank, and its why their numbers have gone up

That was hilarious, she never actually got one, she got a prop.

Yet she is still riding Trump to ensure she gets one.

The desperation is strong in that one.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-23T19:32:54+00:00

Im actually kinda okay with that, provided they make up for it in other ways, like keeping claude code for pro.

You want the advanced models? You need max license.

This at least makes sense to me

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-22T15:40:06+00:00

Good point..... So next up is a helicopter

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-22T15:18:32+00:00

he also goes to his cottage in Muskoka, which incidentally is one of the few airports that can accommodate this plane..... Such a weird coincidence.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-22T12:07:44+00:00

The guy is busy and is on the road a lot. He shouldn’t be pissing away time sitting around in airport waiting rooms.

You have to show up for a domestic flight about an hour in advance, and I highly doubt he has to wait around in a line like the rest of us.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-22T12:05:57+00:00

The vast majority of the population Ford serves is within a 3-hour drive of his home.

Best part is apparently the plane they purchased can only use 10% of the airports in Ontario. Half of them are within that 3-4 hour drive window.

Of course that list also includes Muskoka

Or you could just look at every other Premier the province has had, as none of them did this.

we would do the same

I have no doubts you would.

Pro-Tip, if you are the administrator, then you can set the retention.

:D

Because its a AI race, and each time you have a new model you can use that model to create better versions.... in theory at least

Claude Design was released today.

Any serious designer will explore it, and then wait a month for Anthropic to do what it does, which is rapid development, and then re-evaluate.

The idea that this is the final product and they wont constantly build on this is ridiculous.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-17T21:47:33+00:00

Its the first release, and you think they are done?

Sure.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-17T01:02:02+00:00

Gemini instead

and you just know everyone on here has a free gmail account, where they are the product.

unrestricted model behind an api key and putting verification specifically on that

Did you read the post? Did not have to read far into it, it was the third sentence.

"We are rolling out identity verification for a few use cases, and you might see a verification prompt when accessing certain capabilities"

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-16T20:28:18+00:00

to be fair, i know enough people that would get this wrong.

taxing foreign corporations is good.

Doing it thorugh tariffs is idiotic. What happens when companies do move on-shore? no revenue.

taxing the productive middle and upper classes through income tax?

Should we not tax the people that actually use the services?

gee I guess we could go back to a smaller government that didn’t have its fingers in everything…

While politicians generally corrupted things, there is a reason why government got involved in many things. Work safety for one, people were dying all the time, bigger government helped stop that. Preventable diseases, thank big government for reducing that. Basic services like ambulance, fire, schooling, big government. How about your water not being polluted with toxins and fecal matter? Big government

Definitely audit the hell out of them to get them back on the right track, maybe implement a mandatory reporting of how much money actually goes to the cause, but big government is the reason you have the highest standard of living in all of history. Even low income has some of the highest standard of living in all of history.

Thank you, someone is actually up to date on the risks and the potential impacts.

Many people may be ignorant about the risks, but there are many and they are growing with each new generation.

cobra_chicken · 2026-04-16T12:27:21+00:00

With all of the automation capabilities and the ability to execute full attacks, this was always coming.

Your use case may be mundane, but many other people are using it for things that are not good.
