Maybe we can just not give it access to production databases ever?

Not picking on you, but AI maximalism has infected tech to the point where we talk about how to stop AI from deleting prod instead of seeing that giving AI access to prod is a foolish idea to begin with.

That is certainly true. Anyone who gives an LLM access to their systems is a fool who will soon find themselves out of a job.
I mean that it’s easy to be careful around a bandsaw because it’s clearly dangerous. The danger with LLMs is that they don’t seem overtly dangerous so you just go right ahead and throw your whole arm in there.
I don't know. The dangers of LLMs are quite well documented by now. It's definitely not a secret.
That clarifies it...thanks!
