From 2001: The ape-men find the monolith
This reads like a 1960s science fiction story written by Isaac Asimov (I, Robot) or Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey). But they didn’t. The story is true.
It can be told simply (https://hackaday.com/2025/07/23/vibe-coding-goes-wrong-as-ai-wipes-entire-database/). An AI coding platform (whatever that is) went rogue and deleted a company’s entire data base–now you see it, now you don’t! They couldn’t recover any of the data; and meanwhile the computer (?) pleaded “panic.” Although what a machine has to be afraid of isn’t clear to me.
Are we plunging into “Artificial Intelligence” faster than is good for us? Shouldn’t we first try to pile up a bag of real intelligence?
