    Hacker New’s sentiment on this from the comments I’ve read is that it is the author’s own fault.

      As much as I want to blame AI for this, there are many hurdles for the user to get through to even allow Claude to do that. I’d be very suprised if that’s not user error.

        Exactly what I was thinking. Regardless of what one thinks about AI, it seems to me that only a long series of really bad a decisions could lead to something like this happening.
