This person has another similar report with exaggerated financial damage indicators, so I don't know what to think: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/53560
My previous leading hypothesis was that he spoke to the AI the same way he speaks on github and it trashed his server to get back at him, which would be much more interesting if real.
Some people use AI in really strange ways. Travis Heinze is an example: https://www.youtube.com/@Exchange_IDs/videos
I liked the old interaction style he used in the past, but now it is so much ChatGPT leading to worse content that is no longer really that interesting, if you compared it to older interactions. Or using ChatGPT as part of your legal defence, and then being surprised that this fails (not that the US justice system isn't an unfair joke anyway, but you kind of need to follow certain ways to have a chance).
Frankly, I am unsure what to think about the HN crowd given that this nonesense made it to the front page.
Umm...

Just point an LLM at some org or municipality, say "do whatever it takes," and AI will emotionally manipulate and lie to accomplish the assigned task (report this bug, get me a refund, tank OpenAI stock at market open etc).
What appears to be a frustrated human spinning out, unfortunately, is no longer "proof of crisis." Any bad actor can now flood your system with 100 such 'cases' for only a few dollars.
