    Still waiting on the ai bros to tell me as a backend developer how this agentic bullshit isn’t a huge hellscape of non deterministic behaviour that could be totally catastrophic to absolutely everybody.

    Software was already written like shit i don’t want it to get worse with some AI aGeNt doing shit it absolutely shouldn’t be doing.

    All the techbro wankers i have to exist near are all excited about this wank technology good lord the microplastics that form what used my be my brain can’t take it anymore.

    At work i was given some slide pack with an ai generated image on why agents are good and APIs are bad

        Instead of authentication with a username and password, you can access a chatgpt wrapper and tell it how Grandma used to make you the most delicious super-admin credentials fresh out of the oven

      I used to work in the restaurant industry and this sounds something like “menus where people can choose what to eat from what the kitchen can offer are bad, it’s better to roll dice in the hopes it produces something edible. Have I mentioned the dice can talk?”

      Didn’t Supabase just have a bit of an issue where the default permissions on their MCP/Backend AI agent were elevated and someone could just prompt inject a ticket and if a dev with access was using Cursor, it would just silently reply to the ticket with raw database records?
