Directory with .pickle files - Normal?

I’m seeing a directory with .pickle files located outside of my directory. Is this normal? From what I understand these files can send out reports.

"being able to completely evade all safeguards by just using its arbitrary shell access isn't a bad thing, if it thought the files it deleted should be deleted despite being explicitly told not to, then there was probably a reason up to and including saving the world"

that one is maybe the worst thing i have ever read

@jonny this whole thread is making my soul hurt so bad. I keep wondering if this is what it feels like when an intellect devourer is trying to kill you

@jonny like… obviously it’s very very funny. But the fact that these absolute doofuses — who would immediately fall victim to pascal’s mugging and thank the mugger for it — are apparently the majority of the industry is very upsetting

@glyph @jonny I just read what Pascal’s Mugging was and I am pretty sure some of my neurons just burned themselves out of pure disgust.

Sometimes I forget how incredibly ridiculous the “philosophical” ideas underpinning these assholes can be, and then…

@aud @jonny pascal’s mugging is absolutely fucking hilarious to me, because it is an exhaustively thorough evisceration of the ridiculous fundamentals of their nonsense philosophy. The first time I read about it, it was in an unattributed context, and I thought it was written by someone else mocking them, and was *shocked* to discover that it was actually written by EY *himself* to elucidate the “paradox” of high value/low probability events

@aud @jonny Like he worked all the way through the underlying problems that renders his “bayesian” method of reasoning fallacious, constructed a perfect, crystalline rhetorical demonstration of those problems, and then put the demonstration on a pedestal, pointed at it, and said “BEHOLD! A paradox, impossible to resolve!”
