This has to be a joke right? > Installing software is a task which should be left to AI. Absolutely I don't think so. This is a very bad idea. $ curl | bash was bad enough. But $ curl -fsSL | claude looks even worse. What could possibly go wrong?
fascinating. i personally (biased bc i work at Mintlify) think a markdown file makes more sense than a bash script because at least Claude kind of has your best interests at heart.
That is such a wild thing to say. Unless this whole thing is satire...

I usually complain about proposed standards not being under the /.well-known namespace, but in this case, wow. I can't even comment.

Does that make any sense or am I just off my rocker?

This is a "solution" looking for a problem.

Most of the largest trends in "how to deploy software" revolve around making things predictable and consistent. The idea of abandoning this in favor of making a LLM do the work seems absurd. At least the bash script can be replicated exactly across machines and will do the same thing in the same situation.

Wait, but being serious. You can prompt the ai when you feed it this file to ask "do you see anything nefarious" or "follow these instructions, but make sure you ask me every time you install something because i want to check the safety" in a way that you can't when you pipe a script into bash. Does that make any sense or am I just off my rocker?
