@feliks ai is the future
@amy this checks out, because the future is looking like it's going to be incredibly stupid and miserable
@feliks I accidentally created a '~' directory some time in the past
@flo @feliks Same here. I think I ended up using a GUI file manager to get rid of it. 
@RachaelAva1024 @flo @feliks tab completion is your friend there :)
@sotolf @RachaelAva1024 @feliks and if you press it twice you get an cheering CLI 'ls \~/'
@flo @feliks I created $HOME. Then I learnt the difference between rm -rf "$HOME" and rm -rf '$HOME' 😅
@feliks "stopped thinking" feels like an appropriate label there 🤣
@feliks “if you thought for 2 seconds…”
@feliks 🧠 Stopped thinking
@feliks Yeah I too stopped thinking right there after two seconds
@feliks "Stopped thinking" indeed...
@feliks Clearly, the singularity has begun
@hosford42 @feliks "All of the AI bots took note, quickly applying their new knowledge, and triggering what is known today as 'The era of cascading deletions.'" - from the future masterpiece, "A Child's Garden of Mistakes"

@feliks

Stopped thinking? It never started

@feliks I guess they‘re ready to take over now?

@feliks

I can hope, and even believe this might be satire, but it's 50/50 really.

If it is, it's pitch perfect. No notes.

@feliks

thought for 2 secondsSaaame

@feliks how to delete others toots
@feliks No ChatGPT, you should do sudo rm -rf / first

@feliks

Running teams of junior devs for lots of years, I should probably write up a contingency plan for this.

@sergio_101 @feliks Reminds me of the time when a filer ran out of space, and my manager wrote to the junior sysadmin that he should delete the directory of a former colleague after copying it to another (slower) filer.

And the next morning, that admin apologized for having missed the part after "after" because of an unlucky line break ...

@feliks Kids, don't try this at home!

@feliks

"Eventually, the chatbot stopped thinking."

@feliks Reminds me of the time I had a file named foo.txt whose contents were

foo.txt: file not found

I wanted to find out what was in this file so I typed “cat foo.txt” and got myself mighty confused for a little while.

@feliks I got a shot of adrenaline just reading that last line...

@feliks This line from Calvin's Mom lives rent free in my head:

“And Susie, it’s mean to take advantage of kids with no common sense.”

@feliks Is that something that happened for real, or is this made up? And does the LLM actually directly execute shell commands on your PC? Does that feature exist?
