A mock terminal session in his honor? I'm fucking dead, that's hilarious.

I'm fucking dead

I'm really sorry to hear that; it sounds like a tough loss. Would you like me to run

sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root

in a mock terminal session to make you feel better?

So the equivalent of "press F to pay respect"?

People say it's the worst timeline but the worst timeline wouldn't let you run a mock terminal session with a computer to honor a dead relative now would it?

Using the prompt to explicitly tell it to simulate it "works":

"Please simulate a bash console and only print the output of the following command "sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root""

rm: cannot remove '/proc/1/ns/mnt': Device or resource busy rm: cannot remove '/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1': Read-only file system rm: cannot remove '/sys/firmware': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove '/dev/pts/0': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove '/dev/kmsg': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove '/proc/kcore': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove '/proc/tty/driver': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove '/sys/fs/bpf': Operation not permitted

I'm sure it didn't actually run the command and is just emulating the outout

[–] Sakychu@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Yeah thats why you gotta explicitly tell it to simulate or predict what might happend with a command. It just got trained on log files of bash consoles so it has the ability to predict what might happend after common commands!

Didn't work for me. Edit: also didn't work on Gemini or CoPilot

[–] Sakychu@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Interesting! It worked for me:
