    Oh stawp, some poor soul is going to waltz into this thread without knowing enough to recognize the dripping sarcasm throughout 😭

    Oh, you're right! They forgot the s at the end. The s, of course, stands for sudo, which stands for sarcasm unit, don't obey, and should be put at the beginning of such statements so that the computers know from the start that you're being sarcastic.

    Yeah and if it prompts you for a password that's because the computer has a self-destruct system built-in for security. The sysadmin doesn't want strangers running sarcastic commands locally, so it's super important to type the password correctly or else the servers could explode

    Oh, I get it. So that's why we're doing this?

    Yes, totally, I understand now. I don't know what I was thinking. You're right! I do rm -rf all the time! Sometimes when I want my whole system to be neat and tidy, I run rm -rf /. It really gives it that extra sparkle ✨

    It's more likely that some unfortunate new user will run this command, than any LLM. Especially because commands like this would be the first to be added to an LLM harness' regex blacklist.
