- embedding-shape 4mo agoBoth this and what Meta said reminds me of "Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM) I also can't believe the people who were involved with writing this response from Meta, didn't realize how obviously bad it sounds. It's like there is no humans working and writing there anymore.

- lelandfe 4mo agoMy dad says, "But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" (Usually said jocularly when everyone is at their most upset, e.g. a vacation ruined)
- RRWagner 4mo agoA friend said at one of those moments, "And other than that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?" And the 3rd person replied, "I don't know, I've never seen the play 'Mrs Lincoln'"

- vb-8448 4mo ago> It's like there is no humans working and writing there anymore. Don't know if AI is to blame, but I've used to see these kinds of nonsense post-mortems even in the pre-llm era, and it's always due to some internal fighting ongoing between various departments.
- daveshistory 4mo agoWhere do you think the LLMs learned it from...
- saturnite 4mo ago"Who taught you how to do this stuff?" "You, alright! I learned it by watching you!"
- daveshistory 4mo agoPretty much. The most depressing thing about the bland slop produced by LLMs is realizing that this is what they "think" of us.
- prinny_ 4mo agoDoes it matter if the response is tone deaf or simply misguided? I am a bit nihilistic here, but in one week absolutely nobody will be talking about this. Are the affected individuals going to abandon instagram? Are people going to reduce their usage out of concern for the safety of their accounts? Nothing will happen, hence there is no need for actual humans writing a good, well intended response.
- vb-8448 4mo ago> Does it matter if the response is tone deaf or simply misguided? I agree with you that in a week nobody will be talking any more, but I'm pretty sure it's a GDPR data breach, and they can have some trouble within EU. Yeah, they probably don't give a fu.. about EU, but if the response doesn't matter at all why did they spend time on it?
- skyfaller 4mo agoEveryone has a limit to how much bullshit they'll put up with. This could be the last straw for some people to finally quit Instagram. I quit Instagram, Facebook and all other Meta properties in 2025, after complaining about various problems for years. Other people may quit temporarily and then return, but any time they spend away from Instagram may give them experience that will help them quit permanently later.
- justinclift 4mo ago> in one week absolutely nobody will be talking about this. In news media, sure. But in IT teams around the world people will be referring to this (the exploit opening stupidity) for years as how NOT to do things. :)
- Arainach 4mo ago> like there is no humans working and writing there anymore Meta has never been a place for people with empathy to thrive or succeed. They literally enabled a genocide. Despite being warned by internal employees, profits were more important.

- unmole 4mo ago"Operation succesful, patient dead" is a common saying in India.
- eesmith 4mo agoI found an English use from 1883 - https://archive.org/details/argonaut131883sanf/page/n391/mode/2up?q=%22operation+successful%2C+patient+died%22 https://archive.org/details/argonaut131883sanf/page/n391/mod... . > The creosote in toothache drops administered to a New York boy cured the pain, but killed the boy. This recalls the entry in the register at Bellevue Hospital, which reads; "Operation successful. Patient died." The Argonaut, San Francisco, December 22, 1883.
- methyl 4mo agoMaybe it was euthanasia?
- redbell 4mo agoHaha.. This reminds me of a classic Windows MessageBox meme that goes: "Operation failed successfully!"
- panzi 4mo agoWe have the same saying in German: Operation erfolgreich, Patient tot.
