Looking forwards to all the blog posts from tech bros losing data, money, or getting hacked from this. They will be surprised that it could happen that bad, and they will feel shitty and upset.

And I will struggle to find sympathy through all my schadenfreude and piles of told-you-so-a-million-times.

I am thinking about that issue with Copilot and SharePoint where Copilot would answer queries about other users emails and schedules.

T-2 Days till it wipes someones boot sector somehow.

Lmao, I actually do see this happen if you give access to your entire system.. Or remove some random files (watch them be work, hobby, whatever important files) and claiming it's meaning up your system or something.

Copilot, find and delete all my porn.

unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, umount, sleep -- this looks like the right folder. rm -rf

In capitalist future, you pay malware to write itself!

chatgpt, open a browser and search for one million different random things in google search. click on up to five random search result links per search result. also click on every ad you see up to five times.

Sounds like https://adnauseam.io/ - it even keeps a trophy room of all the ads

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This looks interesting but I don’t click ads. I literally never have. So I’m torn between having a to do it to fuck the signal to noise ratio and staying the course and blocking everything, interacting with only things I requested to interact with.

[–] dangercake@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

I have the same battle. The thing I like is that blocking just makes them more aggressive, clicking everything costs them actual money.

You know what other software does that? Malware

This seems fun to play with in a virtual machine

Not sure any other use for it exists
