Dumb shit on the Internet #4
How can I blame this on someone else?

So this is very stupid: https://xcancel.com/lifeof_jer/status/2048239829914423543#
I'll let you decide whether you want to click through to the full story, which was, of course, posted to the Nazi social media platform, because where else would very stupid people post about very stupid things?
The tl;dr is that Very Stupid AI Startup #428,229's vibe-coded application's production database and all of its backups were deleted by a "rogue" AI agent (reminder that AI agents cannot "go rogue") because, well, AI agents don't understand anything, so they just...do stuff.
Anyway, this very stupid man, whose Twitter banner is a potentially photoshopped picture of a sports car, and who has this as his pinned tweet:
...is apparently a real human being, and not a parody of the average LinkedIn user. Anyway, he blames everyone involved in this saga except for himself. Because he's very stupid.
The worst part is that his complaints about his infrastructure provider, Railway, are actually valid, but he wouldn't have run into them if he hadn't made the very stupid decision to let an AI agent have unfettered access to all his shit.
Stop fucking doing that.
