    Wait! The delveloper absolutely gave permission. Or it couldn’t have happened.

    I stopped reading right there.

    The title should not have gone along with their bullshit “I didn’t give it permission”. Oh you did, or it could not have happened.

    Run as root or admin much dumbass?

      I think that’s the point, the “agent” (whatever that means) is not running in a sandbox.

      I imagine the user assumed permissions are small at first, e.g. single directory of the project, but nothing outside of it. That would IMHO be a reasonable model.

      They might be wrong about it, clearly, but it doesn’t mean they explicitly gave permission.

      Edit: they say it in the video, ~7min in, they expected deletion to be scoped within the project directory.

      It reminds me of that guy that gave an AI instructions in all caps, as if that was some sort of safeguard. The problem isn’t the artificial intelligence it’s the idiot biological that has decided to ride around without safety wheels.
