I wonder at what point someone is going to blindly mix ammonia and bleach because ChatGPT thinks it’s a good idea.

The Darwin Awards for blind LLM followers needs to be right around the corner at this rate.

Eh, someone already got instructions for botulism a year or so ago.

Sure sure, but really, if it found data about debugging really low level stuff and removing the linker is necessary to help narrow down the problem... it is just making use of its context. This is why jobs will only be going away on the dumbest of projects

But this is a great advice. You can learn a lot of things, if you are stupid enough to delete your dinamic linker.

Honestly it's not too complicated to fix it, just mount the system partition elsewhere and copy the binary from the installation disk.

But when you know exactly what happened you probably wouldn't have done it in the first place.

I don't see the link to the conversation with Claude in the Reddit thread. Did anyone find it?

While I think of myself as above this error, I can absolutely see myself falling for it. Messing with symlinks to dynamic libraries isn't uncommon and in the heat of a debugging session, the fact that I mess with the linker itself can go unnoticed. Of-course I would move it to a backup, but when accidentally also closing the last shell instance the problem amounts to the same.

Also the LLM output is so noisy, there are tons of shell commands, commands and a lot of useless text, which can easily make you miss the needle in the haystack what you are actually doing.
