I went to grab Bobby Tables and found this new variation
Why hope they sanitize their inputs?
Why are they trusting an AI that cant even do math to give notes to tests?
The problem with LLM AIs Ous that you can’t sanitize the inputs safely. There is no difference between the program (initial prompt from the developer) and the data (your form input)
You can make it more resistant to overwriting instructions at least
You can try, but you can’t make it correct. My ideal is to write code once that is bug-free. That’s very difficult, but not fundamentally impossible. Especially in small well-scrutinized areas that are critical for security it is possible with enough care and effort to write code with no security bugs. With LLM AI tools that’s not even theoretically possible, let alone practical. You will just need to be forever updating your prompt to mitigate the free latest most fashionable prompt injections.
I asked an AI to calculate a side of a triangle today. The hypotenuse was 24 and both opposite sides were equal, with two small angles of 10° and a wide one of 160°. The answer should have been something a little over 12… And it very confidently said 25. That makes zero sense. Fucking AI really is stupid isn’t it.
https://xkcd.com/327 the original is even better :)
I’m confused by this comment. “The original is even better” reads like you are informing TO about the original. But you’d expect them to be aware of it, what with them referencing the joke nickname and saying “a new variation”.
It’s mostly confusing because there are clearer ways of posting the original comic for the uninformed than referencing the only person certain to have seen it.
Oh Little Bobby Tables!
I did this to myself last week on a new project. Spent an hour trying to track down at what point in my code the data from the database got converted to [Object object]. Finally decided to check the db itself and realized that the [Object object] was coming from inside the house the whole time and the error in my code was when the entry was being written smh
I had no idea this was a thing.
Thanks. I’ll use it. I’ll use it a lot.
Here’s a list of reasons this is not advisable:
[object Object]
Me, the dev: “Nobody reported this as a problem… Ok, don’t care, moving on.” Also, if I can’t reproduce it, I can’t fix it, no point in wasting time more than that.
Oh Hi!
I know right ?

You have…. A lot of confidence in websites.
That “most likely no one is bothered” part is correct, though.
Oh yeah, probably. Unless shit is down probably nobody even noticed
The web is a total shit show, but if you can provide a single example of an established website which will cause a dev any real grief because you enter
[object Object]into a form I’ll send you $100.00.If you can send me proof of your sense of humor, I’ll send you a big fat nothing.
Well, now I have something fun to do over the weekend.
Please keep us posted!
