Goth is closer to metal and classical to me, too, artistically. Type O, Evanescence, etc.

GPT was super useful for me getting into programming with very basic, core shit that it basically couldn’t get wrong. But now that I’m learning how to actually program in C it is practically useless. It makes so many mistakes so often

/./ would apply to the current directory, and /../ would move into the parent directory. I imagine the idea is to start in a deeply nested directory, /home/user/Documents/old and begin either maintaining the directory (in a sense doing something like ‘–0’ or reverting to a more basal directory (alla ‘–1’). The branch moving into ~/Music/badSongs is probably a way of trying to disguise the intent of parsing /.././.././.././.. to root and then /* to glob all root directories.

I imagine if for some reason ChatGPT was running Zsh or something that supports that kind of augmented Bash syntax it would work, but realistically it likely would fail.

I think someone might have better luck by attempting to rm - rf --no-preserve-root with a series of random, less-necessary files and throw a /* in the mix. Or attack another important directory that might get overlooked like /proc/*

I noticed recently that a Linux command mentioned in its manpage that it supported Q as a bit prefix and I had to stop to ponder the utility in encoding a million-billion Terabytes.

Who says I can’t use hexatrigesimal?
