It will have been systemd-oomd

Don’t feed the trolls

Oh, I had totally forgotten how it worked! I thought it was exactly that. Thanks for the correction

Downloading a two kilobyte script a second time is probably less effort than remembering to rm the script after running it, so if you don’t want to keep it, it could be better :)

Do you mean curl | cat or do you really want to create a file called cat?

Also piping to cat seems redundant but malicious hosts can detect whether the request is getting redirected, using some clever trick, so it’s not.

Also, your chance of spotting something bad in a malicious script is probably quite small.

There are two big piles of groupthink here.

When you first learnt about xkcd, did you not S L O O O R P the entire back catalogue?

I guess when I did that there were A LOT fewer. Cuz I’m old.

Have you considered using your computer as a computer instead of configuring it?

LLMs training on data don’t prevent anyone from themselves learning on that data, so I don’t see how the commons is going to be killed here.

I’ve seen it for hardware/driver stuff

Fair enough!

Mmm. Yeah, completely neutral choice solely for the purpose of establishing that there’s a line. Definitely not also used as a framing device!

Likening LLMs to slave labour now, are we? You guys get nuttier by the day.

Fantastic!

A) I haven’t tried to decide anything. I’ve commented on their public statement, with reasons.

B) since you don’t seem to have understood what I’m saying (see above, and previous comment) you’ve not given me any reason to care about your assessment of me.

You’re not interested in discussing my comment… just stop replying instead of calling me names?

It must be so nice that you can dismiss reasoned argument about why I don’t believe they’re being honest with a plain assertion.

go make your own free git hub with crypto and LLM?

Why? It doesn’t interest me. Nothing that I’ve said suggests I would be.

I think your feelings are irrelevant to the admins’ and don’t change the fact that they aren’t being honest (with people, or quite possibly themselves)

Jesus Christ, I didn’t think I was being subtle.

Making arguments from popular perception is never very strong. AI is cool if you actually think about it - the capability is incredible. Anything that can produce working code was going to have this ambivalent result where execs pushed it way too hard.
