What marketing are you talking about?

Every piece of marketing I’ve seen always has disclaimers saying things like “Copilot can be wrong, always check the output”.

It’s like you’re a child who can’t comprehend basic sentences.

Yep, and many of them just never plant any trees at all.

But it wouldn’t hold up to the least amount of scrutiny in that case, and not a single person would ever brush their teeth with it.

It’s like you can’t understand what is being said here.

I don’t really know what you want then? People who don’t know how to use a tool properly, but use it anyway, can cause lots of damage. That’s always been the case, and always will be.

There are plenty of safeguards in place, with more and more being added like docker sandbox for example, but nothing will stop confidently stupid people from wrecking their stuff.

Net zero doesn’t mean lowering pollution btw. Net zero means essentially cancelling out any pollution by planting trees, buying carbon credits, etc. It’s possible to be the biggest polluter and also net zero as a company. If that actually helps the planet is another story.

Yeah and I agree, that’s a great step that hopefully will come to fruition soon enough. I’m just saying that people need to temper their expectations because full electric passenger flights, especially long haul, are simply not possible with existing battery technology, not even close.

It’s crazy that the 3d printed flexi snakes and dragons are selling in retail stores with full on retail packaging these days. I sold a few through Instagram a while ago, can’t image how you’d get them to retail

Ok and I’m looking at that tech through a lens of what it can do and what it can become. Does it completely get rid of all of the germs and bad stuff? Does the toothpaste have the same properties as regular toothpaste? If it does all of that, why wouldn’t you be interested in exploring it?

That would be a completely revolutionary product that could change the world. It could provide better dental hygiene for the entire world.

No, not at all, and I’m not sure how that could be the conclusion you came to from my post.

AI should never be touching prod systems without extreme safeguards/permissions set by the systems that they are accessing. Give it a read only db user account. Give it write access to some tables, but no delete/truncate. No AI should be able to run bash commands on production systems by itself without proper safeguards. That’s a failure of the users if it can.

Systems and software that was built by AI are fine to go into production environments after they’ve done through the regular pipeline of local testing, peer review, QA, unit tests, integration tests, test environment, stage environment, etc.

You never just give AI unfettered access to production systems to do whatever it wants, just like you don’t give a junior dev that access. People that aren’t “smart or educated enough” won’t have that access either - and again, if they do that’s a gigantic failure by the people that are.

When you’re doing local stuff that can’t do any damage due to the existence of things like source control, recycle bin, backups, etc sure, hit that button and let it fly.

Anything more important though, no - and every one I’ve used specifically warns you against it and that you should check its work. Claude, codex, copilot, grok, cursor, etc all do it.

Also you can do things like allow all work in a certain folder without asking permission again, if that folder is one you have no sensitive/important data in for example. Claude code will give you this option every time it accesses a new folder in a chat for example.

Bill Gates’ daughter’s company just got caught doing this exact same “cookie stuffing” thing. There is damning evidence, including internal slack chats and emails that have been confirmed, showing that they knew what they were doing. Something like 80% of all of their tens of millions of dollars in revenue was by hijacking people’s purchases with their affiliate code.

I expect nothing will happen to her, of course.

Hello!

Yeah unfortunately this is only viable for extremely short flights 100-200 miles as the article says. Batteries are just too heavy and planes needs too much power for anything more.

These would be the perfect private jet for the ultra rich who take a jet to work a few minutes away, or to go shopping, but for commercial flights they’re basically not an option until we have a huge breakthrough in battery tech. We need the mythical “coming next year” for the last 20 years “solid state batteries”.

It has nothing to do with AI. Pornographic models for 3d printing have been everywhere in large numbers long before the current AI became a thing.

As someone who has been deep into 3d printing for a long time, even selling prints that I bought licenses for, there are a LOT of people who want exactly that.

Nice gate keeping attempt.

The only community I am subscribed to at the moment is this one. Maybe that’s why? Like you said, I’m just new.

I’m a tech enthusiast. I love the bleeding edge of tech. I don’t look at a new tech product through the cynical lens that you clearly do. I look at it with an open mind about what it could do and what it could become. Like I said in another comment, people had these same “creep” comments and opinions about cameras on phones, but that thankfully didn’t slow down their adoption and innovation.

Do you just accuse everyone you disagree with of being a “shill”? You have to wonder about what type of person jumps straight to that.

All that is great, and correct, but my point is that it asks you to confirm its commands that it runs. It asks you to confirm every change it makes to your code. It asks you to confirm every file it creates.

Everything it does goes through your permission.

You also shouldn’t have it do anything anywhere close to a production system, so it shouldn’t be able to do anything of any consequence.

I want life to be easier. I want convenience.

Why do people pretend like every product has to “solve a problem”? That’s complete rubbish.

Imagine walking down an aisle and simply looking at a product, not having to even pick it up, and it tells you that it contains something you’re allergic to or dislike. That’s the kind of thing that is possible at the absolutely lowest level of imagination required.
