> To be clear, I’m not advocating for AI in real learning. AI is only useful right now as a stress test as it reveals how hollow adolescent work has become. If it pushes schools toward offering work with relevance, impact, and agency and away from hopeless busywork (“When will I ever use this?”), that is a win.
But how will they ever know that if they don’t go through the process? I am not saying the current way of teaching is perfect but you can’t tell what is and isn’t bullshit without some experience at some point.
We had a mandatory home economics class that taught how to balance a check book, cook, do laundry, and even how taxes worked. Yet people still thought that class was bullshit and a waste of time. Many classes such as health, gym, shop, a/v, typing, all had people blowing it off as useless stuff they will never need to know. ChatGPT turning every class into that is a nightmare future for the youth of the world. People will grow up entirely unable to think.

https://zerossl.com/pricing/ suggests a 3-cert limit on the free tier, as well as a huge influx of expected spam...
I believe that is 3 hosts not total certs.
Zerossl is integrated with Caddy by default and there’s no indication from Caddy that you would only be able to renew the cert twice before needing to cough up some money.

MacOS 26 Tahoe is Unix certified[0]. It already is more popular than Linux.
Here are some of the commands it used (censored & auto-generated) with a few specific examples at the end:

Yes, that part was pretty easy - but the whole thing wasn't one shot. The parts I struggled with were: - getting automated SSH installed on the $130 router, once you have that the LLM can drive things - during security hardening, I got fully locked out and had to recreate a new VM. But it was able to automatically recreate everything in a few minutes.
Thanks for sharing. Just looking over this it seems to spend some time creating ufw rules and then deletes them all and disables ufw. Is that accurate or is this just the output and you had to copy and paste in?
I am assuming all the missing steps is just the information you censored.
It would be cool if the output that that the LLM made (commands it ran to harden, the iptables, MPTCP config, etc.) was included in the post.
It seems incredulous that this didn’t take dozens of back and forth prompts and fixes. It was able to one-shot deploying a digital ocean droplet and configure wireguard?

I visit your garden and take 1000 apples from your tree.
Not that different.
Not only am I taking 1,000 apples, but I use those 1,000 apples to start my own orchard and encourage people to come to it instead of yours.

Would you use an LLM knowing it will never answer honestly and any recommendation is likely a sponsored one?
Hell is it going to start injecting ads into coding output? Ask Codex to generate you a fix for your web app and it spits out a number for a web hosting service? Give it a Jira ticket and it gives you an ad for a different SaaS ticketing system?
Is it going to inject ads for indeed while a recruiter is using ChatGPT to summarize a stack of resumes?
If it only ever injects ads for specific requests how profitable would that even be? I understand clients would want their product to be recommended but if I only get the ad answer when prompting a certain way, can I the user avoid ads by asking questions a specific way?
kemotep commented on Can we talk about the rude installers not asking for installation locations? · Posted by u/breezk0
There’s an argument to be made that this is by design/edict. The company does NOT want you installing random crap on their machines.
In a Windows environment this can be managed with AppLocker, or an endpoint management solution, or 3rd-Party tool like Threatlocker.
It becomes less about controlling the users and more about stopping any bad guy dead in their tracks. If nothing but what has been implicitly authorized can execute, then 99% of ransomware attacks will be stopped immediately even after the user clicks the link.
Your company software procurement process shouldn’t be so onerous that people turn to Shadow IT. You have to work with people where they are.
