Just watched a coworker type, "You keep running the same command expecting different output. Try something else." into Claude Code. Satire is dead.
@aburka well did it work?

@aburka Iโ€™ve tried Claude code running on Windows. Sometimes I have to remind it that the 10 bash commands itโ€™s trying to run, repeatedly and in increasing order of absurdity, will not work on Windows.

โ€œAI,โ€ ladies and gentlemen. (It is not)

@aburka Ok, I will try something else, how about rm -rf / ? ๐Ÿ˜‡

true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && true && rm -rf /

(yes that's a thing)
@jaj @aburka

Claude Code bypassed its own built in security checks if command budget exceeds 50. Because that made sense to someone.

@jaj @aburka
Claude Code bypasses safety rule if given too many commands

Updated: A hard-coded limit on deny rules drops automatic enforcement for concatenated commands

The Register
@osma @jaj it's vibe coded so no it didn't have to make sense to anyone actually
@aburka I saw someone post about getting Claude to report on its "stress level", so you get a sense of how much it's going to try to brute force its way to a solution that doesn't make sense.
@aburka If Claude Code is insane, it must be human ;)
@aburka Gold. Just gold.

@aburka This Babbage quote seems relevant... And prescient...

"On two occasions I have been asked, โ€” 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5 "Difference Engine No. 1".
