Except that in this case it wasn't been used as a power tool, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to do anything without someone getting it to. It's more akin to someone leaving a power tool lying around with a more saying "use this as you like" and then didn't like that somone took down their garden shed with it.
As a software developer I have never heard of anybody saying, "polllute my code as you like". It's mind-boggling how people will excuse ANY behavior that attacks AI or people who use it. Anything a fellow AI-hater does must be right. Our Cause Uber Alles!
If you have an AI agent that you've given away your agency to to make calls like dropping databases or wrecking your code then you kinda did though. Perhaps you didn't knowingly introduce these gaping security holes, fool me once shame on you and all that. Are you going to change your security posture and limit the LLMs access and reduce how much you let it do your home work for you now? Otherwise it's on you next time it fucks up.
In other words, she was asking for it by dressing like that. Got it.
Mate, you've lost the plot if you comparing you letting your AI agents run over somone elses code base and getting screwed by it being in anywhere remotely similar to that 3rd party repo raping you. The rest if us were trying to have a serious conversation.
One blames a woman for dressing like a slut, the other blames a programmer for not doing thorough work. Both are victim shaming that ignore the attack itself. Simply scoffing at the comparison or at me isn't having a serious conversation, it's just monkey-puppet waving.
