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

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
