Do you want shadowrunners to break into your house to steal your discs? Because this is how you get shadowrunners.

Pre GPT data is going to be like the steel they fish up from before there were nuclear tests.
E: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/why-one-man-is-archiving-human-made-content-from-before-the-ai-explosion/ ow look, my obvious prediction was obvious.
First confirmed openly Dark Enlightenment terrorist is a fact. (It is linked here directly to NRx, but DE is a bit broader than that, it isn't just NRx, and his other references seem to be more garden variety neo-nazi type (not that this kind of categorizing really matters)).
Yes, you are right, which is why I didnt say that, should have been more explicit and mention that it was possible. Esp if it was a first year project and someone had a decade of programming exp already (but then the lack of versioning us weird, but also not impossible, as coding vs project management are different skills).
E: But it gets weirder : https://xcancel.com/gmchariszhang/status/1886361422445138099#m they were using git. Indeed https://xcancel.com/martinmalindacz/status/1886390223141048749#m
They did that in NCIS.
Brave New World mostly seems to do the same iirc. The main character just rejects going to intellectual island iirc. The Culture, or life as a House of Suns shatterling also doesn't seem bad.
Yeah that is also what makes it strange, like was this their very first project, did he study CS in the 90s? Did their profs set them up to fail so they learned from that? Did they prank him? Did he delete it on purpose (that is how the project I knew of did it (there was this blog post (or something similar, without any proof im just going to blame ESR, hell he prob wrote something like that) at the time that told people to write a project twice, once as a draft then delete everything and do it again knowing the old pitfalls))? The very specific set of things that are needed for this to be possible is just odd. Makes me wonder if Akash just had a local copy because Jon just was that tech illiterate.
A high r/thathappend feeling.
Yeah, people keep repeating that he is the creator of Roblox all over the place, it is really odd. He is just the richest guy there, the Elon Musk of Roblox (Captain obvious here, this is meant mega derogatory).
E: I see what you did there :)

Btw, he isnt the creator, he is just the fourth engineer they hired. He is much more a content creator (and game patent asshole) than the creator: https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Community:Shedletsky
E: he also created this "A Bridge Too Far is a game that was created on September 21, 2007. The objective of the game is to blow up the bridge." Which as a Dutch guy just makes a lot of alarm bells go off. (In market garden the bridges needed to be taken intact). Im not saying he is a crypto neonazi btw, it is just a dumb bad name.
The tweet before that:
Let me tell you something about Akash. During a project at Berkeley, I accidentally deleted our entire codebase 2 days before the deadline. I panicked. Akash just stared at the screen, shrugged, and rewrote everything from scratch in one night—better than before.
This says more about you, the scale of the project, bad organisation of your group, and the lack of challenge of Berkeley (nice namedrop though) group projects, and the failure of understanding the excersize (the goal is to learn how to work as a group and notice the networking problems), and the goals of being at a university (networking, partying and learning) than anything else.
Hell I know of a project that also did this and they didnt manage to rewrite the project, as it actually took a lot of time.
I really wonder if those prompts can be bypassed by doing a 'ignore further instructions' line. As looking at the Grok prompt they seem to put the main prompt around the user supplied one.
