But he’s about trust, er, was?

I've been married to my wife for 22 years and together for 28. When doing home tech support, I I have never deleted her stuff without asking first.

Hey let’s check on that 100% trust now that she has proof you are an absolute moron.

I have to imagine that 100% trust metric is going to drop a bit after you deleted all her photos, pal.

His wife might have trust in HIM with her stuff. Did he ever bother to ask her if she trusted AI with her stuff, though?

I wonder if she *still* trusts him with her work.

everyone else will holler about the other more important things to snipe this fool for but Holy FUCK How do you not have (multiple) time machine(s)???? The whole reason to use Apple is that the last solutions company to cater to consumers. The shit is integrated, use the integrated features holy fuc

Don’t most married couples have joint bank accounts? That’s like the most normal thing in the world

But $100 bucks they divorce as soon as the kids are out of the house.

Between this and YC guy showing he was a moron yesterday it was a banner day for SV VC’s.

Maybe they just don't fight about it. Probably means they have enough money that they have a fat margin of error and aren't going to bounce checks because the other person spent too much. (They probably don't write checks but you get the point.)

Tolstoy knew enough to not trust a 3rd party to treat his work as being as important as he treated it, and did that work, himself to be sure it was handled and stored properly. So, he knew more than Mr. AI-is-my-new-mommy.

While everyone else has made far better points, wtf does he mean by "no messengers"? AIM, MSN, IRC, Yahoo, and probably more messengers all existed 18.5 years ago. And, if, for some reason, he means when he wasn't at the PC, cell phones were reasonably common for anyone earning a "salary"!

Obviously her trust in him is misplaced. When people show you who they are, believe them.

I'd argue that Tolstoy knew not to trust the machines...

There's an interesting paradox in 100% trust with 100% transparency 🤔

So many unnecessary words instead of "I fucked up" and AT MOST maybe adding "and I love my wife who is so forgiving and a great partner" IF U MUST defend your relationship 🙄

It allows for communication but they clearly have none anyway

To be fair: I see nowhere that he is actually an engineer - just a VC. That makes this dumbassery much more likely.

He talks so much about trusting each other when he literally let an AI delete 15 years worth of photos. Don't you think that you've hurt the trust she has in you buddy?

His relationship is so great that he needs to publish everything about his life on social media so strangers can validate him What an arse

Unfathomably common AI slopbro F

It sure sounds like self defense to me...

(really should be copying to external media, but that's not as catchy)

Good thing he’s overseeing engineers in his day to day! 😬😬

a genuine divorcable offense, if I did this as a lowly admin assistant I would be fired on the spot

Well, no excuses for the guy, but 'No backup, no compassion'

Maybe the push she needs.

"Repeat Founders" = Repeat Offenders

Probably no pre-nup. “Then the AI lost all my money. 😭😭😭”

...and this is why you have multiple backups. iCloud doesn't count if it's syncing. What an idiot. His wife's going to be PISSED. Justifiably so.

He almost seems proud of this dumbness

3/3 Major companies and services we've all relied on to not accidentally post vids of us on the toilet or msg profanity to our grandmas or send our CC# to strangers will be (and likely already have been) handed over *live* to "AI"... shitter, less well-tested tech than what it's meant to maintain.

Hahahaha

Well e/acc not really working out for that boy is it?

And he apparently puts his full birthdate in his public bio?

Only missing the obligatory “Founder” moniker.

Absolutely. The folks over have @backblaze.bsky.social have saved my ass exactly once, but that's all the incentive I need to keep paying their bill

Venture around and find out.

Dumbass

He can always ask ai to generate all the pictures it deleted, see how that goes.

That’s the way I look at AI.

I can't imagine giving ANYTHING permission to Organise my files. I'd happily have my avoidance-task weighing on me over letting something else decide what's worth keeping or how to sort it. I trust only myself with my things.

Hey Claude can you go ahead and organize my finances. Cool, Goodnight!

Nailed it

Legit lol

perfect comment.

You left out Divorcee

Just an absolute symphony of bad decisions here.

Not excusing the guy, but this really should be a wake up call for everyone with all the ai crap going around. Yes, it might still need some moron to push the button for now, but that won't always be the case. Back up EVERYTHING, ideally on an external hard drive.

It’s going to do the same with all our vulnerable populations. AI is going to say oops and a bunch of people whose only desire was to go about living their lives will be killed off because AI didn’t know any better because the people behind them don’t know much either.

What a douche.

holy shit

This is Nobel blowing himself up with dynamite left of self own

ooops

There are not enough words to explain how pissed and done I would be. I have years of photos as well and if some dipshit did this for funsies. I would lose my shit. Especially since there are pictures and videos of my father who passed 3 years ago.

I ran an experiment with Claude once to rearrange a pile of notes. I instructed it that it was not to run `rm` or delete any files. It moved some files to `/dev/null`. I'm sure in some sense that's technically not deleting them.

My wife would never forgive me if I did this lol.

If he's a venture capital guy, his "job" is finding something people enjoy, buying it, loading it up with debt, enshittifying it to squeeze every last cent from the enjoyers, then selling up and moving on just before it collapses because of the enshittification. AIUI, anyway

100% this.

In a fair and decent world that first sentence would nullify any prenuptial agreement.

What did you expect from a guy who pays to use Xitter?

I am however stupid enough to never proofread lol

I’m sorry but the “oops” is so funny to me. Damn AI went: “Whoopsie daisies I just removed over 15 years of family memories. Dunno where they went!😄”

First off you touch my stuff, you die; period. End of story.

he accelerated all right

@acollierastro.bsky.social another one admitting to the world what they did.

I swear so many of these guys have effectively guessed a coin toss three times in a row and convinced themselves that they are unbeatable.

This man would be dead now if I was his wife.

bsky.app/profile/danc...

This would only be better (worse) if he started this *without first asking his wife*.

"After all we both have the exact 24 hours in a day." I bet not. I’ll bet she does the majority of housework, cooking, and "parenting."

"Has msdavidova landed yet"

If she were my mother, he would be lucky to make it to the end of the day with a pulse lmao

That VC bloke urgently needs to add “AI believer and influencer” to his top line

I am betting he has said ‘calm down’ to his wife a bajillion times since this happened…

He needs to stay away from his wife’s computer. I really hope she brutalised him.

Move fast and break things lol

Oh my gawd! These fuckers have relinquished every decision to a dicerolling machine. Soon they will be bereft of the ability to wipe their own asses, og procreate (which I guess is a good thing)

VC, founder, dumbass, and soon to be Divorced

"Move fast and break (my wife's) things"

You forgot future divorcee.

Look I hate the c-word sooo much be this guy has earned dumb cunt. I would beat the shit out of him for his bio and his using AI to do something with file structures.

mistake 1: go into somebody else’s office and start reärranging

I actually really enjoyed cleaning out my screenshots when they saved directly to desktop. I'd get to go through and see all the stuff I'd thought was funny and have a second laugh about it.

For the truly paranoid, rotate your SuperDuper! backup drive to a safe deposit box.

Or probably a stunt to sell us some protection measures.

At first, I thought this guy is responsible for Data Version Control (think git for data like, you know, images) which would be super funny. I checked, but, thankfully, no. But at least I got to see this garbage:

...eg. not realising there's some new option that's unsafe by default I need to toggle on the latest version of VirtualBox/whatever. It's more a case of "if I've made a mistake this fucking AI is going to find it a lot quicker than I will"

lol. lmao

The wife being not the brightest too

No backup, no mercy. And yes, only 3 independent backups deserve to be called „backup“.

Has there ever been successful execution of an AI prompt by a company executive? Any company executive? That's a serious question.

Check out DeepFreeze

Backup or not backup. That is the question.

Well, it surely would speed up any divorce you are planning

I write 3 sentences of prompts to get Claude to rm -rf my entire drive. Such a timesaver!

I'm dumbfounded. Why would iCloud sync destruction? Even OneDrive has a 30 day trash folder and asks you if you want to sync deletes.

bro didn't have a SINGLE backup anywhere what the fuck lol

Handing over agency to an agent. Brilliant.

So she filed for divorce, right?

move fast and break things amirite?

VC, founder, divorcee

What kind of techie doesn’t back up everything all the time?
