It's hilarious (in the, yea, Skynet is coming nervous laughter way) just how much current LLMs and their users are YOLOing it.

One I use finds all kinds of creative ways to to do things. Tell it it can't use curl? Find, it will built it's own in python. Tell it it can't edit a file? It will used sed or some other method.

There's also just watching some many devs with "I'm not productive if I have to give it permission so I just run in full permission mode".

Another few devs are using multiple sessions to multitask. They have 10x the code to review. That's too much work so no more reviews. YOLO!!!

It's funny to go back and watch AI videos warning about someone might give the bot access to resources or the internet and talking about it as though it would happen but be rare. No, everyone is running full speed ahead, full access to everything.
