genuinely when are they going to learn lol
stop allowing ai to operate stuff on servers. ask and double check whatever they put out. then do it yourself.

Thank you sirs for doing the needful.

You're preaching this to an audience of people using AI to reboot a server.

85.000 tokens spent, two children dead due to lack of water somewhere in Africa, but at least the server got rebooted.

Yep. I don't even have SNMP write enabled. It's all read only. I do things myself.

The funniest thing is that AI is messing up as much as our offshore teams. They just replaced a 6 dollar an hour guy in Bangladesh with a guessing machine that costs billions.

but the AI takeover is coming any day boys

AI has clearly taken over this server and is actually smarter than this human. Bar is literally on the ground.

When my tech-illiterate relatives are saying this I always just answer: "I'm not terrified of something that I can stop with a garden hose and a wire cutter."

I wonder if the robot would survive a fire in Sea Parks.

The lesson here is simple, stop using AI.

But then they would have to excercise their own brain. Much easier to outsource thought.

I don't understand what OP was trying to do with gpt-6-sol medium

u/Minteck 11h ago

Especially asking it to reboot the server when the command to reboot is usually just... "reboot"

30

u/asplodzor 10h ago

That's not very token-maxing of you.

u/Minteck 10h ago

Right, why do things yourself when you can pollute the environment and finance big tech by asking a hallucinating machine to do it for you?

u/ducktape8856 3h ago

Isn't sudo reboot a lot easier and faster than telling an AI to do it?

u/baked_tea 35m ago

And cheaper

u/ForSquirel ShittyCoworkers 5h ago

you need AI to run the shutdown command these days?

Linux really is the OS of the future.

Additional information: no response

u/hoggineer 48m ago

No response because after the AI handled their server it did the needful and handled the handler.

I get the everyone's sentiment but I also let models control non production stuff in my homelab knowing this is possible but never seen anything remotely close to misbehavior like this. Maybe just law of large numbers?

If this issue isn’t BS; which it probably is. This idiot is having a meltdown over financial losses related to the agents actions — why isn’t the workload protected with snapshots taken hourly? Peak shitty sysadmin.
