Today a PM on my team showed the team a fancy dashboard they had built with AI on my request.

[carnage4life@mas.to]

This is how I must sound to car enthusiasts asking me if my engine is a v8.

@carnage4life ‍️

Blue team is going to be so painful.

[bryanredeagle@beige.party]

@carnage4life That sounds like a security nightmare.

[lon3star@mastodon.social]

@carnage4life it's gonna get weird

[dutch_connection_uk@mastodo.neoliber.al]

@carnage4life Wow that really doesn't seem acceptable. Can Claude not make pull requests and defend itself from a critical reviewer?

[timoliver@mastodon.social]

@carnage4life To be fair, as a client engineer, this is usually how I treat the backend as well.

[sumisu3@mastodon.nz]

@carnage4life makes me not worry about Skynet

[countablenewt@mastodon.social]

@carnage4life that’s…concerning

On more than one level

And not just on the part of the PM

[pixelpusher220@dmv.community]

@jillL @carnage4life Claude will only too happily reclaim something it deployed 6 weeks ago and now that dashboard is toast.

All this jazz over written language prompts being the future only leads me to ST:TNG Moriarty episodes when LaForge accidentally creates a Sherlock Holmes program capable of defeating *Data*.

Whoopsie.

[bwebster@mastodon.social]

@carnage4life I think it has… an engine? In the front somewhere? No tomato juice that I know of.

[benoit@louy.social]

@carnage4life Imagine asking these same questions to an engineer.

How does it work?
I don’t know

Where is the documentation?
There is none

This would be very concerning but here, it’s an AI so it’s amazing!

It is not. That dashboard will never be updated, no one understand how it works. How can you even tell the data it presents is accurate?

The future…

@carnage4life That's like asking someone who made your food about what is in it and they go " I dunno. Food stuff?"

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@carnage4life

[bjb@fosstodon.org]

@carnage4life

They don't know how or where it is deployed? So, they have no idea how much the deployment is costing .... interesting way to conduct business.

[romabysen@mastodon.social]

@bryanredeagle @carnage4life after decades of improving IT security practices we just don't do it anymore

[everydaymoggie@sfba.social]

That's pretty much the answer you'll get in most restaurants. They really have no idea what exactly goes into the food they're serving you.

@romabysen @carnage4life

[romabysen@mastodon.social]

@EverydayMoggie you can not seriously think that chefs don't know what is in the food.

[em0nm4stodon@infosec.exchange]

@carnage4life @drwho That sounds like a quite spectacular data privacy nightmare.
