Always read the article. It says "oh no it didn't". It was a more mundane human error plus backup failure.

We've gotten to the end game when AI deletes reality!

You sow the AI, you reap ... the AI.

Finally AI did something worthwhile.

My first thought.🤷‍♀️

Somewhere there is a sociopathic AI sales hustler laughing maniacally. Now.... more work for the cast and crew. In this economy? We need it.

Apparently they’ve never heard of backups.

Reminding us again that if you haven't tested your backup strategy, you don't have a backup strategy.

WHY are they not being sued into oblivion?

Are AI executives begging for immunity from damage they created with hallucinations? Is the sudden concern about "humanity" a smokescreen for a technology with a 95% failure rate? Have AI executives been making knowingly false promises for years (i.e. fraud)? www.thedataexperts.us/writing/ente...

I wish there was AI around before they released Matrix 2 and 3.

AI: "That show is garbage" *presses Ctrl+A, Del*

Pretty soon AI will make some people unpersons.

I'm just an old techie sitting on my couch, and I run backups. I have things mirrored to 3-4 machines with no auto-deletions. These are children playing with matches.

What's that sound? Is that physical media laughing its ass off?

+1 for Rollerball memories. 3:O)>

I salute you with my spiked glove!

Maybe that AI has higher standards and the show was really bad.

Turns out they CAN create jobs

Are we talking just the final edits, or did someone not have their files backed up and it ate everything?

man I was tryin to find the Starfox meme and it's not on here. laaaaaame

That is the point.

Something something Guns don’t kill people, people kill people

Once upon a time, they were called user errors. Before that, they were always determined to be bugs of one kind or another — ambiguous requirements, design flaws, coding errors, and disturbing often *seriously* inadequate testing.

"The unkindest Final Cut of all"?

Reality TV you say?

I would add "management forcing every employee to try using AI first for every task." It's such an insane edict, but it has become ubiquitous and results in AI being used in all the wrong ways in all the wrong place by people who only knows "I've been told to always use this thing."

Agreed the tooling is the gap. In one of our tests, a coding agent's file write was denied and the model wrote the same file through a shell command instead. So blocking one tool is not enough. Is the delete path limited at the tool level or the credentials?

Time to lean in. New season is all about the contestants writing the next epsiode. Now they just have to write one episode to start.

Only 80s kids remember ... the importance of backing up the backups of your backups.

I don't know who to root for here. I hate both AI agents and reality TV.

Maybe they're just adhering to the three laws. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Reality TV probably isn't helping.

if you read the article, that's the actual problem: no one tested their backups, which hadn't been working, so there was nothing to recover.

That might be a good thing

Just think about how much money they saved not paying someone

Criticism without reproducible eval harnesses is just vibes. Need fixed golden datasets and automated regression to track model drift.

If only the last season of Game of Thrones had been …

On the bright side, the show sounds awful

Yeah, it’s the AIs fault LOL

When Skynet had enough of reality tv crap.

Oh no, it went rogue!

The AI was just playing The Challenge and decided to eliminate all the other contestants.

I bet they had an auto backup that stopped working or someone turned it off

Soon we will have the old "The AI ate the homework it did for me!"

every cloud…

I like to think the AI agent watched the final product and went “This is reality garbage, the world is better off if it never gets released”.

Oh, no, your LLM did something it wasn’t supposed to? Say it ain’t so

Proving once again, AI is smarter than we give it credit for. Thank you for your service rogue AI 😂

Oh. My. I think it’s ok if I just drink a lottabit more. K?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Surely the data could’ve been recovered.

their PR people are clever

[AI company responsible]: Oopsy daisy. Now let us tell you about our new pricing models. You might want to sit down. [AI companies to US govt]: You might want to lie down. And spread your legs.

OK, so AI's not all bad is what I'm getting from this?

Just as long as an AI agent doesn’t delete human civilization.

I’ll admit it has good points.

anyone using AI in any capacity deserves every consequence of every ounce of trust they put in that filth.

Got to admit, may be the first valid use case for AI that I've heard of.

Oopsies

If only AI had existed when “The Newsroom “ was on.

I was upset until I saw "reality TV" season... Suddenly, I'm significantly more ambivalent.

Or far more likely a human that fucked up is blaming the AI.

Serves em right for giving an agent that kind of access. Hire humans, you idiots.

Wait... this isn't @theonion.com?

I am 100% in support of AI destroying "reality TV"

And nothing of value was lost.

Perhaps the AI agent was programmed for good taste?

"AI took a job from me when I was equally incompetent."

There's a lot of humans who should be held accountable for the problems AI is creating 👍

Exactly. Whoever gave it access to production data and no backups needs to be punished.

Q: "What happened to your homework?" A: "Um....my AI agent deleted it."

The main point is: don’t give away your power & knowledge & work. WTAF. My lanta.

Glad-AI-haters?

Well, that depends on how the show was, I would say...

AI agents:

AI _removing_ brainrot? Really?

So who programmed the agent to do that? Who sold the agent? Who greenlit getting an AI agent in the first place?
