  • in case you aren’t joking, rm -rf / (albiet with a warning now) will delete allll the files on your system, so everything going black is the expected result.

    rm is remove, the - is to indicate that you want to pass arguments, and r&f are recursive (delete stuff in the folders in this folder) and force (don’t ask for confirmation). The slash afterwards designates the root folder, the folder with everything in it.

    So “rm -rf /” means “remove, recursively and forcefully, everything in the / directory”





  • the term “riskless grammar” perfectly puts into words how i felt about chatgpt’s texts, every human-written text has something “wrong” with it grammar-wise, except maybe example essays by english teachers.

    As an example, my previous paragraph has a lowercase I, too many commas, sentences compressed by using hyphens where they probably shouldnt go and probably some other stuff i missed.

    But it still read well, at least i hope.

    Most authors write their sentences their own way, and in my opinion, that’s what makes reading their books interesting. Perfect grammar is boring and no fun to read.

    as a fun experiment, i asked chatgpt to rewrite my first paragraph:

    “The phrase “riskless grammar” accurately captures my impression of ChatGPT’s texts. Unlike human-written content, which often contains grammatical imperfections—except perhaps for example essays by English teachers—ChatGPT’s writing maintains a level of precision and correctness.”

    Kind of changed the meaning to be self-complimenting, which is funny.

    edit: Normally I would have rewritten parts of this comment to make my point more clearly and be better to read, but i wanted to keep my first draft to make my point a bit better.
