Daisy Leigh BreneckiWith the power of AI, you too can take your startup from “fucking around” to “finding out” in as little as two days!
.morris@daisy I have a sneaking suspicion that those weird people who are making his saas behave in unexpected ways are what techies often call 'users'.

child of baphomet@clockworkfish @daisy guys, I'm under attack by people trying to normally use my website whose internals i am completely ignorant of
Jonah Gibberish@clockworkfish @daisy he should replace them with an AI
WesDym@clockworkfish @daisy As in this, one of my favourite techie jokes.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/prdi4x/a_software_tester_walks_into_a_bar/
Sharif Naas@wesdym @clockworkfish @daisy From elsewhere and years ago:
Someone: "What if I walk into a beer and order a bar, though?"
Me: "Due to a bad inheritance tree, walking into a beer is allowed. The bar init begins and attempts to build a stock of beer. A bug in the beer cache causes the bar to attempt to stock the beer you're in. Since it's currently in an undefined state, it dead locks. You drown in beer."

Brodeuse LucileDT@clockworkfish @daisy youn know, I even think it's not users, it could simply be because the code is complete garbage and generates random things because, it's just... randomly generated code.
troy_friz_zell"Sure, I don't know how to write code and I've admitted I don't actually know what I'm doing, but clearly I'm being attacked and I'm not the victim of my own foolish pride."
Ray Gulick, he/him/wtf 🇺🇦 ❌👑BTW, as a web developer, in a time when build-your-own-website builders are available, I've seen a similar scenario play out hundreds of times.

João Silvestre@daisy then people wonder why data protection laws exist, so people selling services, with no clue about security, can be held liable when inevitable their users data gets stolen.
@daisy while sharing what he does on X might be part of the problem, it's certainly far from the root cause.
Ann Effes@daisy I am sure its the "ppl" not the code.

woe2you@JayeLTee @daisy Presumably here he means people should listen to Pearl Jam more. I don't disagree, but not sure what the relevance is to the bit above...

mithos@daisy That's the plot from Goethe's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", modernized.
"Tired of fetching water by pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do the work for him, using magic in which he is not fully trained. The floor is soon awash with water, the apprentice realizes that he cannot stop the broom because he does not know the magic required to do so. "

Sabz@daisy local man learns you should NOT release sensitive data about how you built your SAAS cloud service publicly.
lemgandi@daisy Maybe he should take some of that money he is making and hire a competent human developer.
Nini@daisy "I made this black box by telling another black box what to do! It does a thing, I have no clue how it works but it does the thing which I also have no clue about, isn't that awesome?"
LATER:
"Shit fuck, this black box is doing things but I don't know what! I am caught in a riptide of my own creation pulling me out to sea, send help!!"
Mighty Orbot@daisy His postmortem is fun to read — he left his API keys exposed and allowed users to bypass the subscription process by editing their own data, then wrote it all off as a learning experience because he would STILL rather use an LLM than an experienced developer. The next security mistake he makes he won’t even see coming.
Reminds me of how my brother asked me last year if I could help him build a secure software system for his fantasy startup — on an old computer in his basement.
I had to tell him (1) that’s not what I specialize in, and (2) if you really want that stuff secure, then pay a web host who already knows how to do it right. A repurposed PC in your basement might be okay for a static website, but not for anything you really need to protect.
Miguel@daisy i love the smell of ai bros tears in the morning
patxiDamn it Shin! I read this in your voice-over.
sebastian ⚡@daisy Plot twist: The weird people are just the usual automated bots that scan the internet for services with the standard login credentials and exploit those...

chesheer@daisy Now, look at that. If AI doesn't make people more intelligent in a shortest time possible, I don't know what does.

D. Olifant Still Won't Shut Up@daisy This has big confident (and wrong) Elon energy, like: "I unplugged a bunch of shit and Twitter still works, lol, guess I we didn't need those after all."

Christian Lauf (Backupaccount)@daisy Given the fact that I know how over 90% off all "Howtos" on the Internet are written I'm absolutely not surprised that AI miserably fails on basic operational (security) tasks...
"Club chmod -R 777 *" YOLO!
(roll m3tti)@daisy don't learn to code i guess :D. Cause you have ai that can do all the things :D

this is why we do devsecops and hate vibe coding

TornugglaI'm less than an amateur in coding and never heard of Cursor, but I have this feeling that this AI builder is providing the usual weird usage built-in with the product it created. Cos it obviously learnt how the finished product should look like: used. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the post itself was AI... 🤔 🤪
@daisy
They forgot to config robots.txt to "No funny stuff guyz. OK?".

Veronica Olsen@daisy I stand by my statement that "AI is no substitute for knowing what the hell you're doing".

Nyx Allocer@daisy "I had an AI completely construct this building and now people are sawing at the support beams how do I stop them please help I didn't major in Architecture"
violette 🌸@[email protected] i love that this incident stopped him from capitalizing letters
⚝ Mirko ⚝@daisy I call this well deserved just for still being on this fascist platform.
grechaw@daisy finally, something to make me laugh today 😂
Devin Ulibarri@daisy boo hoo
shironeko@daisy the whole account look AI generated.
Toni Aittoniemi@daisy ”there are just some weird ppl out there”
Yeah. This is classic libertarian. They have it all figured out.
Little children with no experience fighting a war, surprised that there are bullets flying everywhere!
Kaye@daisy I see things are going well on Bluecheck Twitter
ScottMGS@daisy All those vulnerabilities would have been discovered and fixed if only they'd used my CRaaS (code review as a service) AI.
(don't tell anybody but CRaaS just pipes it through lint.)
