I love how it just vanishes into a puff of logic at the end.

How the fuck can it not recover the files?

Fun fact, files don't just get instantly nuked when you delete them, those areas are just marked with a deleted flag and only when you start adding new files it gets overwritten.

That why some people send a bunch of 0s to their partition to completely wipe it.

I wonder how big the crossover is between people that let AI run commands for them, and people that don't have a single reliable backup system in place. Probably pretty large.

"Did I give you permission to delete my D:\ drive?"

Hmm... the answer here is probably YES. I doubt whatever agent he used defaulted to the ability to run all commands unsupervised.

He either approved a command that looked harmless but nuked D:\ OR he whitelisted the agent to run rmdir one day, and that whitelist remained until now.

There's a good reason why people that choose to run agents with the ability to run commands at least try to sandbox it to limit the blast radius.

This guy let an LLM raw dog his CMD.EXE and now he's sad that it made a mistake (as LLMs will do).

Next time, don't point the gun at your foot and complain when it gets blown off.

"I am deeply deeply sorry"

Is this real?

Let's unplug this AI from your computer then ... "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that"
