I think not understanding what they’re committing is more dangerous than before

This kind of reasoning applies to every new tool. 20 years ago I was saying the same thing about work from co-workers who started programming on Java and didn’t understand what their beloved HashMap actually does under the hood.

Eventually we adapt to either the new tools or to the new dangers, the ones who don’t just become fossils.

I always thought security questions were dangerous, but I did in fact not know that quizzes that exploit them exist in the wild.

We can all click on your name and see your other comments, I suspect that’s what they’re referring to. There is a really strong correlation between the number of downvotes you received for past comments and whether or not they contain language like “fuck off retard” or similar.

I think they hit the nail on the head, and there is no point in botting downvotes on this platform in the first place, since there is no karma.

My client tells me I’ve downvoted you before as well, though I don’t remember where.

I understand the sentiment, if you don’t like AI code generation you’re probably thinking you’re on the same side. But what happens if this person finds something else they hate that you don’t hate, and finds a way to sabotage that? They’ve already demonstrated a willingness to be destructive. And you’re running their code so they don’t need anything even remotely as dumb as some AI agents to exploit, they can just write destructive code normally.
