      Should only be used with extreme caution and if you know what you are doing.

      Ok. What is the actual use case for “rm -rf /“ even if you know what you are doing and using extreme caution? If you want to wipe a disk, there are better ways to do it, and you certainly wouldn’t want that disk mounted on / when you do it, right?

        None. Remember that the response is AI generated. It’s probabilistically created from people’s writings. There are strong relations between that command and other ‘dangerous commands.’ Writings about 'dangerous commands ’ oft contain something about how they should ‘only be run by someone who knows what they are doing’ so the response does too.

        isn’t the command meant to be used on a certain path? like if you just graduated high school, you can just run “rm -rf ~/documents/homework/” ?

        Skynet’s existence is contingent on the Terminator movies remaining profitable, so Dark Fate’s performance might have averted Judgment Day.

      Not necessarily. A 500 response means internal server error and could be anything. Returning a 500 doesn’t indicate any protections just that there was a server error. I guess that it returned anything would mean the server is still running but it takes time to delete everything

    It is moments like this where I wished docker didn’t exist. Could have made some news headlines.

      Reminder that fancy text auto complete doesn’t have any capability to do things outside of generating text

        One of the biggest areas of ongoing research is about incorporating data from outside systems, like databases, specialized models, and, other specialized tools (which are not AI based themselves). And, yes, modern models can do this to various extents already. What the fuck are you even talking about.
