Don't ever give elevated permissions to an Avian Intelligence...

I'm sure you have a massive pile of Avian Intelligence story ideas from everything happening but here's one that would fit in very well:

@gbargoud Thank you for sharing!

@davidrevoy This needs a follow-up where the AI is totally confident that it did the right thing. Either that, or it apologises and promises to never do it again, and then does it again.

Our little witch doesn't seem particularly bright... fool me once etc

[hummingbirdsecurity@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy Never.

@davidrevoy It took me a second, and then I laughed so hard. Oh NOOO!

I like how she doesn't even get mad. She asked for it, after all!

I have a friend who's going to switch to Linux soon, and I warned him that if he asks AI a question about it, he should be very, very careful about the answer, and to avoid anything that says 'rm -rf' unless he means it, and what that command does. He understood.

@davidrevoy
Is it saying rm -rf /?

@davidrevoy who ran chmod 777 avianIntelligence???

[mrdk@mathstodon.xyz]

@davidrevoy I hope she has a backup copy of her house.

@davidrevoy Where's the frog ?

@davidrevoy A cautionary tale about how tragically can a simple "sudo make me a sandwich" end.

@davidrevoy @socketwench I loved that the toilet was still there!! Maybe with "DoubleuIPeeEe Dash areheff root" it would have become a privacy friendly toilet (see https://man.archlinux.org/man/wipe.1 )

[feudjais@eldritch.cafe]

@davidrevoy That's because you don't have the newer Avian Intelligence! They're smarter! Also you should learn how to talk to them.

@davidrevoy reminds me of Bedazzled (2000): I never tricked you. I gave you exactly what you wished for.

[ddnnacheta@mastodon.social]

@zalasur @davidrevoy

Same. I was wondering why the spell didn't look like made-up words based on real words, so I pronounced it, and then I was like... Ohhh... 🤭

[sam4000@troet.cafe]

@davidrevoy

It's always these inexperienced people. Somewhere in the 1,000-page manual, there's bound to be a hidden note for this case: "Never let your AI run autonomously without AI.md attached. In this rule file, you write down fixed principles that your AI must adhere to."

This file may contain something like: Before each action, assess whether this action has potentially harmful consequences. Only carry out the action if two independent checks have not predicted any harmful consequences

@davidrevoy Is the bird named openclaw?

[ronflaix@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@davidrevoy bravo. The magic spell, just bravo.
