I am pretty sure the guy spent more effort making it than was put into 2 of these bottle openers: https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/recycled-record-bottle...



As far as I can tell so far, its functionality isn't much beyond a a short script that Claude could generate for me in 30 seconds or I could write myself in 20 minutes.


If you trust Claude for this, you deserve to accidentally nuke every picture you’ve ever owned.


I use Claude to write short, isolated scripts, like something to sort photos based on EXIF data, but I never just trust anything it does. I read and debug every line.

I'd never let a junior dev use one of these models, but I've been coding for 30 years and know how to catch mistakes. It saves a huge amount of time.


Nonsense.

I've done this multiple times and Claude explicitly provided a config parameter in the script to make it "read only" by default.

Regardless, why wouldn't anyone test it on a small subset of your photos before trying it on a full collection? You would do it with a script you wrote personally and you should do it with an LLM script as well.


Care to share what your 20 minute script looks like?
