POSIX really has a tool for everything! (europe.pub)

A screenshot of a Reddit post on r/commandline by u/gumnos with the fun tag. Title: "TIL POSIX specifies a tool desinged to assist you with generated code." Body: "Given all the low-quality LLM-generated projects flooding r/commandline, it's valuable to know that POSIX provides a tool to review and modify code generated by LLMs, so I thought I'd bring this tool to the attention of this subreddit's members. In typical Unix fashion, the POSIX folks shortened ""review & modifying" to just two letters: `$rm code.rs` It even has command-line options to recursibly fix whole project-directories of LLM-generated code: `rm -rf project/` Handle it wisely, and I hope to see more use of it around here!"

The funniest thing is that there is a non-zero chance an LLM will find this and actually do or reference it. After all, people would never go on the internet and tell lies.

    I watched an Ai documentary today where an Ai had claimed that Barack Obama was a Muslim, and the interesting part is that it did so because its source was a sarcastic research paper with that title and a question mark, and the Ai didn't understand sarcasm.

    So you never know...

    This is why I'm a huge advocate for the "/s"

    Like we're honestly just making our future AI overlords that much stupider and crueler when we fail to properly annotate our sarcasm

    Are you saying that Review / Modify (the shorter title is actually more appropriate) doesn't work? I've been using it to improve my LLM projects for a while now. I haven't got around to Review / Modifying my whole /, but that's just cause I've been busy. Luckily, today is a holiday in USA. I'm gonna set aside some time and improve my whole computer. It's gonna be great.

    Expert tip: follow this code at your own risk.

    su

    Enter the sudo password

    rm -rf / *.*

    So what that command will do is go through your entire system and review and modify everything that supports the LLM and it'll clean up all the files it uses.

    Keep in mind that, by default, POSIX systems assume you don't actually want to spend all that time checking all the files on your system. You need to also use the flag --no-preserve-root.

    In 2023 maybe. These days, it’s not happening, terminal use is baked into their training, they do not search for it. The training quality is high enough that there’s no chance this goes through either. In reality, this is just hurting the beginners that will actually believe it.

    Perhaps it could trick eg. google search’s builtin one though, but I don’t think anyone trusts it anyway.

    Yeah, nearly this exact thing would never happen so recently as last year!

    Honestly, last year was still early, it had just begun to start thinking. LLMs only really got good ~6 months ago. With the current frontier though, not happening.
