The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.
In this guy’s fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let’s be real, he’ll definitely get caught.
So how did you test it?
Presses button
Syntax error on line 1Shit…
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Well that’s one way to never get another job again.
If you’re that good, you can contract yourself out.
The future is self-employment and unions.
Of the two I’ll pick wandering into the forest and dying of exposure.
That’s quitter talk, I believe in your ability to become a mystic mountain/forest/cave person that people hear rumors about when hiking the trails during a full moon.
Be the eldritch horror you want to see in the world.
That’s my plan, when the time comes i become the mountain man. I’m not giving up on life just this life.
Then I’m a quitter.
Fuck everyone.
You can quit if you want to
You can leave your friends behind.
If you rage quit, be sure to make a splash!
wait i always thought it was “this cannon is gonna be loaded when i go off”. i’m gonna keep using mine.Pfft, like I have friends
one fuck at a time dude
I mean, I used to be an accountant and now I’m a starving musician. It can be done.
In many cases, you pretty much didn’t exist before you stepped through the doors at your new company. People in all departments are too overloaded with work to take their time properly vetting every person joining the circus
I’d hire him.
I mean, I don’t have a company, or employees, but if I did…I’d hire him.
Thats what they want you to think

My first thought was how do you test this actually works?
You ask AI to not delete the production database. Very reliable
Set up a test project I guess.
It’s so wild to see all the fucking hall monitors in here wagging their fingers.
You all deserve whatever you get.
I’m just concerned about their poor opsec
Agreed, if this is true you should not be posting about it at all no matter where it is. It’s best to just keep it quiet because the company at this point can probably get law enforcement involved if they ID the person. The only time a company should know something is going on in this situation your lawyer should already be fully involved.
If you’ve ever been let go by a corp you know you’re gonna need some sort of remote trigger. They’ll say “Can I see you for a minute?” and then BOOM! out the door.
Deadman switch. Hit the button before all meetings and if you aren’t back in 2 hours to disable it then it would execute.
Run it on a separate machine / account. In big corporate environments, your user account could be disabled by the time you walk into the meeting room.
Better solution, if you can, work for open source companies: at least the codebase is already public!
Better, plant it on the account if that co-worker you hate, and still works there, operated off a remote. Then he gets the blame.
There it is, that’s the solution.
Nice!
You could probably make it look like an accident. “I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there”
Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.
That’s actually somewhat plausible, I saw a vid earlier today from some one talking about how their work coding AI agent noticed that their NPM was set to only update package dependencies 7 days after release because ya know best security practices and all that
It “helpfully” set it to 0 because they would miss top features otherwise LMAO
Today, I tried to prevent Claude from reading my .env files. This was pretty easy and worked, but now Claude was just writing php snippets to get config values set by this .env.
(I have to use ai for work, personally I never use it)
I’m only just learning, but my approach is to essentially built a bunch of functions around every prompt. I just too many stories of AI deleting everything to trust it to run without checks upon checks upon checks.
The front end industry is pathologically obsessed with newness. So much unproductive churn.
“This project is DEAD! It hasn’t had a major release in THREE MONTHS!”
“This is the same API this framework had TWO YEARS AGO!”
I hate AI. But this should realistically be called a “arrest me” button.
Yes, you’re correct, fighting back often requires personal sacrifices.
I know it’s a meme but I’d notify the lawyer before coding that, they’ll laugh themselves silly. Electronic vandalism is still vandalism only the damages are higher.
If I damage $25k worth of stuff that’s my problem
If I damage $25 million worth of code that’s my former employer’s problem
Until a judge rules that you’ll be paying that back over the rest of your life so every month a large court-orderd chunk of your paycheck will leave your account.
You missed my point entirely…
It will still be made your problem by the judge even if your employer doesn’t recover that money will still end up being paid to the majority shareholders.
That is unless you were planning to live without income or decide not to continue living.
What precisely about your point did I miss?
You generally can’t pursue someone for debt after a bankruptcy declaration, depending on the country. So if you’re 25M in debt, you go bankrupt and they can’t chase you for any more. You lose all your current assets, but at least you can rebuild a life. Still, rough path to choose.
That’s not how judicial fines work, they know most people don’t have that amount in the bank so there’s zero point asking for the lump sum. Their aim is to disincentivise future “vandals” by making an example out of the first one. You won’t be able to escape the payments which will be unavoidable due to bankruptcy because a portion of your wages will be garnished so that you’ll have just enough to survive but the rest you’ll be paying back for the rest of your life.
Look what’s happening to that cunt Alex Jones, he can’t escape the settlement to the Sandy Hook families by bankruptcy so he’s doing everything he can to hide his income and assets and appeal the judgement.
Mmmm yes but if you detonate a truck bomb you will die as well 😏🤔 you might destroy your employer but you will destroy yourself in the process as well! ☝️🤓 Which would be very bad for you! And if you survived the judge would surely throw the book at you 😏
So you’re suicidal?
Look I’m all for fucking over the corpo bastards but if you’re planning on sacrificing yourself because you truly think an ideal or cause is worth more than your life you’d be better off destroying the backups, blowing up the offices, and Luigi-ing the entire board of directors.
OR find some other way to fuck them over that doesn’t sacrifice your own life.
Go touch grass
But if AI executes it…
If AI is so smart (it’s not) it can take your job, then it should clearly recognize what is clearly meant as a joke…
I really hope this kind of stand off becomes normalized. We can all lose.
You seem like the only person in this thread who seems to be aware of the world around them
big companies leeching off open source and getting their products leaked after a single phishing mail never stops being entertaining
Oops, silly me, getting tricked by phishing emails after hearing we were all being laid off. Teehee
i mean, that’s legitimately why they escort you out immediately after telling you you’re fired. most people can be responsible but there’s always that one shitass
I would also call it “Sue me lol” button
i am pretty sure he’s smart enough to understand this. more people should be willing to make these decisions despite personal costs, otherwise we are proving everyone right who says americans are complacent etc etc
Pretty sure it’s just a joke post. Someone smart enough to make something like that is also smart enough to not put a neon sign over themselves with a post like that - if they were serious, I mean.
The goal is to cause more damage than you’d ever be able to repay in your life.
I did that in the bathroom
It’s not just the smell, it’s the poverty
Well yeah, that’s why it automatically calls his lawyer. Edit: That and also the likely criminal charges.
Yeah. Maybe call your lawyer before publishing the company code base so they can tell you not to do that.
this is why we should code backdoors while working !
Exactly. Social media ruined some people. You build your backdoor and do this shit well after you’re gone… And if you ever brag to a stranger, you did it for the wrong reasons.
Suggestion: instead of doing all that directly, the button adds these instructions to the SKILLS file and hope some AI take the bait one day.
Nah. Let him go full nuke!
