I think the best way I’ve seen was to just poke the number of holes in the dirt or draw a picture, labeling them until you get to your base switching moment.

What about cute animal killers?

Right? This is exactly what an LLM does. It’s parsed a large amount of text that has a reply very similar to this one when the ‘scenario’ matches what our poster friend has created/said. So it’s going to spit out a reply very similar to all the ones that you’ve already heard/seen from real humans.

I wonder how far you could stretch it. Get them all (if you’re coming to america, for instance) those little plastic acorns with a little item in it from those coin machines that used to be by every convenience store’s doors. Though I haven’t seen any of those in ages, so maybe not.

bringing back souvenirs for their colleagues and bosses when they go on holiday somewhere :/

Damn, I used to do that for some coworkers because we were actually friends. I cannot imagine how shitty it would feel to be forced to do that.

I wish my pokemon master would give me tasks.

I think lemmy.today has been getting hit by bots. I remember someone mentioning the attack increasing over time.

WTF is going on in panel 2? Did they cut a hole in the sock?

Finger-pulls and 'remember when…'s

You have the ability to do that? Super jealous. Everything at my university was so tightly integrated with the windows ecosystem and its accounts that separating would have been an incredible amount of work.

My “mentor” can hardly write an Excel formula. My boss has once seen an excruciatingly simple app I made at someone else’s request. I built it in a couple hours. It has a file chooser button and a run button. Blew her mind.

Ah, so that’s the reason I bitch constantly about my medical device. I swear it was coded by monkeys.

There are a lot of ways that the attacker could persist… maybe try a different distro, just to see if it stops? What did you redownload/install when you did your wipe? Do you have any computers on the network besides yours?

Obviously worst case for ‘persisting’ would be your hardware. Do you have a friend who can plug in or connect to your internet and see if they get the same blocked requests? Maybe try a different router/modem.

One of the worst parts about this is that I would never have thought about reinventing it until he told me not to.

Bloody reverse psychology still working on me. >:(
