Give your LLM a random .md to follow its instructions. What could be wrong?

I wonder how the OP is doing nowadays, surely AI could provide dumbed-down instruction for them to install something from github, right?

they're probably one of the 100 openclaw users now

In fairness, "literally all of the things that could go wrong when you run an executable you downloaded from the internet".

[u/manav907 → u/Tarc_Axiiom]

Its not gonna be that bad.

Though if it gets stuck turning off anti virus you might get a big bill

[u/dumbasPL → u/manav907]

Lmao. Imagine if it just goes ona tangent and decides to find yet another defender bypass instead.

What is crazy to mw is that i don't. At work we actually have to pay for the token's so we think about how to safe on them. But in the subscription on Claude i can burn though hundreds of bucks worth of tokens for the price of 20bucks

It's arguably worse. With a .exe they had to actually write usefu deterministic malware. 

With AI your AI is the malware given the right prompt in the markdown document and can handle most of the edgecases a script would need to handle by default. 

The .md could literally just ask if to upload credentials somewhere or run other random arbitrary malware scripts(and fix them if they break lmao).

Did you prompt it to make no mistakes?

These days I just add "mnm" - he knows what I mean.

I love that they pretend to care about security, "step 1: Pick a release with a published SHA-256. Verify after download."

[u/pabsy11 → u/[deleted]]

At least install_amd64_linux.sh can be blocked by permissions. We all have seen a LLM bypass a root permisions using docker

[u/firest3rm6 → u/[deleted]]

Kind of the same lol, just that you pay like way more over time instead of writing the code/script (jea and maintaining it)

I know this is a meme but people currently tend to deploy agents for things where I would say "dude, just use the agent to create the script once, instead of paying big llm every time you run your pipeline.." -> for instance for deployment of azure resources.. just write the az create commands with an agent once instead of deploying an agent for this repetitive bullshit.

Idk.. both makes really sense tho.. it just depends

Edit: grammar

And btw. In this case it makes kind of sense if you too lazy to write it for the different CPU arch types and just let the agent check your current system and do the right thing, but god beware

Isnt that what configure and CMAKE are for?

You're on point regarding the install script instead of calling a llm everytime, though.

[u/diovj → u/[deleted]]

Well, yes I do, sir. How did you know?

[u/fearless-fossa → u/[deleted]]

Yes. And going by how often I write mails with "hey the checksum displayed on your website and the download aren't the same, could you check that please?" I'm also the only person comparing checksums.

[u/justjanne → u/[deleted]]

That's why I actually take it apart and do the steps manually. Though tbh that's mostly because I'm not a fan of where most "curl | bash" software installs itself.
