I mean the private equity people get rich. It works for them. Sure, the hospitals / software companies / investors / employees / customers all suffer, but fuck 'em.

- Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database 2 weeks ago:
He actually did have a backup, because the company is only normal-stupid and not deliberate-stupid, they had a DB checkpoint he could roll back to.
The LLM, of course, went with the path of least resistance once it started down the "oh no I fucked up" completion prompt, and claimed they had no such checkpoint.
Don't use LLM for fact things, kids.

I only noticed because it sent me notifications for it. I guess it is just one weird moderator though, for some reason I thought it was more of a db0 official thing but it looks like it is not.

Do you think that would be productive? I have some kind of strong hunch that it's one of your admins.
I think people are just weird sometimes.

Update: I've just been banned from some of the db0 Stable Diffusion communities for being an "anti-AI troll," I think for posting this story?
db0 I love you guys but you do weird stuff sometimes

I think this might be a massive gift to people who want the internet to remain free and unrestricted.
The more people you drive into the underground, the less well you'll be able to regulate. Usually, it's a cautionary tale about carelessly over-strict regulation. But, I guess it can also be an uplifting tale about carelessly over-strict regulation, depending on what you're trying to regulate. Lord knows, we need to be teaching people how to dodge around local internet restrictions and monitoring right now.
