Reminds me of that cheat in Counter Strike back in the day where you press Alt + F4 for infinite money.

    Is this a Windows thing? Only times I have used it are in computer labs... I actually don't even know how to install Windows other than like, version 8 in a VM without internet.

    Yes, alt+F4 is the "force close the foreground app/window" command in Windows. People used to say it in counter strike lobbies. It was always funny when you saw:

    PlayerA: Remember if you are low on funds, press alt+f4 for infinite money PlayerB: really? PlayerA: yup! PlayerB has disconnected

    Always remove the French language pack.

    Great tip, it should be implemented more widely

    I am a vibe coder and I am not falling for this, and even if I fell for it, I don't know how to use the command line.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Quite the moving goalpost you've got there.

    Does it matter what year I used initially? It was a quick guess, and the context should have made that clear. I always go with 2023 because this is the year most people decided LLMs were dumb (rightfully so) and didn’t try them since.

    Wow, I thought this was a joke but it actually does work. Good tip!

    I just reduced my codebase by 100% and it’s now running infinitely faster! Thanks!

    You can remove the French language pack with rm -fr /

    # rm -fr /
    rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/'
    rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe

    Especially useful for any rust code, exactly like in the example!

    Early adopters of handheld power tools must have made all kinds of screwy mistakes and produced crappy results that wouldn't happen when you painstakingly did the same jobs manually. In fact, people are still doing that after 100 years. Amazing.
