minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish44•1 month agoI don’t normally say this, but the AI tools I’ve used to help me write bash were pretty much spot on.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink20•1 month agoYes, with respect to the grey bearded uncles and aunties; as someone who never “learned” bash, in 2025 I’m letting a LLM do the bashing for me.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink39•1 month agoSounds like a problem for future me. That guy hates me lol
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 month agoI wonder if there’s a chance of getting rm -rf /* or zip bombs. Those are definitely in the training data at least.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink17•edit-21 month agoYeah, an LLM can quickly parrot some basic boilerplate that’s showed up in its training data a hundred times.
