Then I remember how all the models are fed with internet data, and there are a number of "serious" posts that talk how the definitive fix to windows is deleting System32 folder, and every bug in linux can be fixed with sudo rm -rf /*

The fact that my 4chan shitposts from 2012 are now causing havoc inside of an AI is not something I would have guessed happening but, holy shit, that is incredible.

The /bin dir on any Linux install is the recycle bin. Save space by regularly deleting its contents

Surprisingly I have not heard this before

sudo rm -rf /bin/*

I legitimately did this unprompted the first time I installed Linux on a computer when I was in my late teens.

I fully believed that /bin/ was actually just a bin. I didn't know it stood for binary or whatever

Tbf, I've been using sudo rm -rf /* for years, and it has made every computer problem I've ever had go away. Very effective.

To be fair, that does remove the bugs from the system. It just so happens to also remove the system from the system.
