I took a web dev boot camp. If I were to use AI I would use it as a tool and not the motherfucking builder! AI gets even basic math equations wrong!
AI is yet another technology that enables morons to think they can cut out the middleman of programming staff, only to very quickly realise that we’re more than just monkeys with typewriters.
Well I think I am a monkey with a typewriter…
We’re monkeys with COMPUTERS!!!
To be fair… If this guy would have hired a dev team, the same thing could happen.
True, any software can be vulnerable to attack.
but the difference is a technical team of software developers can mitigate an attack and patch it. This guy has no tech support than the AI that sold him the faulty code that likely assumed he did the proper hardening of his environment (which he did not).
Openly admitting you programmed anything with AI only is admitting you haven’t done the basic steps to protecting yourself or your customers.
But then they’d have a dev team who wrote the code and therefore knows how it works.
In this case, the hackers might understand the code better than the “author” because they’ve been working in it longer.
Yeah! I have two typewriters!
i have a mobile touchscreen typewriter, but it isn’t very effective at writing code.
I was going to post a note about typewriters, allegedly from Tom Hanks, which I saw years and years ago; but I can’t find it.
Turns out there’s a lot of Tom Hanks typewriter content out there.
He donated his to my hs randomly, it was supposed to goto the valedictorian but the school kept it lmao, it was so funny because they showed everyone a video where he says not to keep the typewriter and its for a student
That’s … Pretty depressing.
Holy crap, it’s real!
“If you don’t have organic intelligence at home, store-bought is fine.” - leo (probably)
The increasing use of AI is horrifying. Stop playing Frankenstein! Quit creating thinking beings and using them as slaves.
Bonus points if the attackers use ai to script their attacks, too. We can fully automate the SaaS cycle!
That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.
That would only happen if we give power to our ai assistants to buy things on our behalf, and manage our budgets. They will decide among themselves who needs what and the money will flow to billionaires pockets without any human intervention. If humans go far enough, not even rich people would be rich, as trust funds, stock portfolios would operate under ai. If the ai achieves singularity with that level of control, we are all basically in spectator mode.
Seems like a fitting end to the internet, imo. Or the recipe for the Singularity.
I am not a bot trust me.
Not only internet. Soon everybody will use AI for everything. Lawyers will use AI in court on both sides. AI will fight against AI.
they’ll find a use case any day now for realsies.
It was a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother. Babies having babies.
Then one day, from the right side of the screen, came a man. A man with a plastic rectangle.
lol thanks
I was at a coffee shop the other day and 2 lawyers were discussing how they were doing stuff with ai that they didn’t know anything about and then just send to their clients.
That shit scared the hell out of me.
And everything will just keep getting worse with more and more common folk eating the hype and brainwash using these highly incorrect tools in all levels of our society everyday to make decisions about things they have no idea about.
I’m aware of an effort to get LLM AI to summarize medical reports for doctors.
Very disturbing.
The people driving it where I work tend to be the people who know the least about how computers work.
This is the opposite of the singularity
It is a singularity, in the sense that it is an infinitely escalating level of suck.
I never said it was going to be any good!
Suckularity?
The Internet will continue to function just fine, just as it has for 50 years. It’s the World Wide Web that is on fire. Pretty much has been since a bunch of people who don’t understand what Web 2.0 means decided they were going to start doing “Web 3.0” stuff.

My attack was built with Curson
Reminds me of the days before ai assistants where people copy pasted code from forums and then you’d get quesitions like “I found this code and I know what every line does except this ‘for( int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)’ part. Is this someone using an unsupported expression?”
I’m less knowledgeable than the OOP about this. What’s the code you quoted do?
@Moredekai@lemmy.world posted a detailed explanation of what it’s doing, but just to chime in that it’s an extremely basic part of programming. Probably a first week of class if not first day of class thing that would be taught. I haven’t done anything that could be considered programming since 2002 and took my first class as an elective in high school in 2000 but still recognize it.
It’s a standard formatted for-loop. It’s creating the integer variable i, and setting it to zero. The second part is saying “do this while i is less than 10”, and the last part is saying what to do after the loop runs once -‐ increment i by 1. Under this would be the actual stuff you want to be doing in that loop. Assuming nothing in the rest of the code is manipulating i, it’ll do this 10 times and then move on
I would also add that usually i will be used inside the code block to index locations within whatever data structures need to be accessed. Keeping track of how many times the loop has run has more utility than just making sure something is repeated 10 times.
It’s a for loop. Super basic code structure.
for( int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)This reads as “assign an integer to the variable
Iand put a 0 in that spot. Do the following code, and once completed add 1 toI. Repeat untilIreaches 10.”Int
I= 0 initiatesI, tells the compiler it’s an integer (whole number) and assigns 0 to it all at once.I++ can be written a few ways, but they all say “add 1 to I”I< 10 tells it to stop at 10For tells it to loop, and starts a block which is what will actually be looping
Edits: A couple of clarifications
i <= 9, you heathen. Next thing you’ll do isi < INT_MAX + 1and then the shit’s steaming.I’m cooked, see thread.
If it was correct it wouldn’t have been copied into the forums lmao
I mean
i < 10isn’t wrong as such, it’s just good practice to always use<=because in theINT_MAXcase you have to and everything should be regular because principle of least astonishment: That10might become a, that then might become, each of those changes look valid in isolation but if there’s only a singlei < FOOin your codebase you introduced a bug by spooky action at a distance. (overflow on int is undefined behaviour in C, in case anyone is wondering what the bug is).…never believe anyone who says “C is a simple language”. Their code is shoddy and full of bugs and they should be forced to write Rust for their own good.
But your case is wrong anyways because
i <= INT_MAXwill always be true, by definition. By your argument<is actually better because it is consistent from< 0to iterate 0 times to< INT_MAXto iterate the maximum number of times.INT_MAX + 1is the problem, not<which is the standard to write for loops and the standard for a reason.You’re right, that’s what I get for not having written a line of C in what 15 years. Bonus challenge: write
for i in i32::MIN..=i32::MAXin C, that is, iterate over the whole range, start and end inclusive.(I guess the
..=might be where my confusion came from because Rust’s..is end-exclusive and thus like<, but also not what you want becausei32::MAX + 1panics).for (int i = INT_MIN; ; i++) { ... if (i == INT_MAX) break;}Would you be bold enough to write
if (i++ == INT_MAX) break? The result of the increment is never used, but an increment is being done, at least syntactically, and it overflows, at least theoretically, so maybe (I’m not 100% sure) the compiler could be allowed to break out into song because undefined behaviour allows anything to happen.
<=makes sense if you start from 1.
But I thought vibe coding was good actually 😂
Vibe coding is a hilarious term for this too. As if it’s not just letting AI write your code.
Managers hoping genAI will cause the skill requirements (and paycheck demand) of developers to plummet:
Also managers when their workforce are filled with buffoons:
Eat my SaaS
Yes, yes there are weird people out there. That’s the whole point of having humans able to understand the code be able to correct it.
Chatgpt make this code secure against weird people trying to crash and exploit it ot
Roger Roger
beep boop
fixed 3 bugs
added 2 known vulnerabilities
added 3 race conditions
boop beeb
This feels like the modern version of those people who gave out the numbers on their credit cards back in the 2000s and would freak out when their bank accounts got drained.
This is what happens when you don’t know what your own code does, you lose the ability to manage it, that is precisely why AI won’t take programmer’s jobs.
I don’t need ai to not know what my code does
but with AI you can not know even faster. So efficient
You are even freeing up the space that was needed to comprehend and critically think
More space to keep up with the latest brainrot10x it!!!
