    This isn’t just an issue with a developer putting too much trust into an LLM though. This is a failure at the organizational level. So many things have to be wrong for this to happen.

    If an ‘intern’ can access a production database then you have some serious problems. No one should have access to that in normal operations.

      Sure, I’m not telling you how it should be, I’m telling you how it is.

      The LLM just increases the damage done because it can do more damage faster before someone figures out they fucked up.

      This is the last big one I remembered offhand but I know it happens a couple times a year and probably more just goes unreported.

      Why would an intern be given prod supply chain credentials, who knows. People fuck up all the time.
