If that other program were generating commands to run on your machine by design and you configured it to run without your confirmation, then you should definitely feel a lil sheepish and share some of the blame.

This isnt like Spotify deleting your disk.

I run Claude Code with full permission bypass and I’d definitely feel some shame if it nuked my ssd.

The installation wizard gives a front and center option to run in a mode where the user must confirm all commands, or more autonomous modes, and they are shown with equal visibility and explained with disclaimers.

Because the user left a "toddler" at the keyboard. I mean, what do you expect? Of course you blame the user. You run agents in supervised mode, and you confirm every command it wants to run and if you're in doubt, you stop it and ask it to print the command and you yourself will run it after you sanitize it.

Not defending the software, but if you hand over control of your data to software that has the ability to fuck with it permanently, anything that happens to it is on you.

Don't trust the hallucination machines to make safe, logical decisions.

`dd` comes to mind.

It makes me wonder what weight is given to content from 4chan during llm training...

Yeah, rm -rf.

If you decide to let a stochastic parrot run rampant on your system, you can't act surprised when it fucks shit up. You should count on it doing so and act proactively.

Nope. And that's why I don't use CCleaner to this day.
