My biggest concern is that it suggests to Yolo pipe the bash script from the website into your terminal. And the way it suggests doing it (saving it to /tmp first and then executing it from /tmp) feels very LLM-y to me.
I always find that suspicious, yes. Not to be AI though — sites have been suggesting this for decades — but I feel like it speaks to the credibility and experience of the people behind the site. Even if AI wrote it, why is the human publishing it.
Everyone should know you should not run someone else’s script unless you understand it yourself, or can at least determine that there’s no malicious stuff happening in it. This should be common knowledge. And don’t copy paste command lines into terminal unless you know what it does.
How do you mean? This is such a harsh criticism, I’m curious what you’re basing it on?
