why not just use irc?
nobody has mIRC/ircii installed by default everyone has ssh installed by default
Guess you could have ssh to irc bridge
Late.sh – a command-line Clubhouse for computer people

No X. No Y. A is your B. We do G, not H. C, D, E — plus an optional F. No I, no J, no K — just an L into a W. I would say the design is the most human thing about this page. (It has its charm somehow, even if it’s obviously “flavour of the week LLM design”. Also, I don’t think an LLM would choose colours so poorly unless nudged in that direction – accidentally, I suppose.)
Oh no, concise sentences. Must be an inappropriate use of the robot! Kind of exhausting. If you think (or care), that the LLM wrote all of the subheaders, the category names etc, then you might be spending too much time focused on the wrong thing.
> If you think (or care)
I don’t think anybody really cares, the reaction is because you praised some copy that was obviously written by an LLM and either not edited or barely edited.

There was barely anything to edit, and I think they did a great job choosing what NOT to write out on the lander.
Sometimes less is more.

I don’t really care. I’m just... disappointed a bit? It seems like a cool project, but those “concise sentences” don’t make it easier to learn about it. no passwords. no OAuth. no accounts. your ssh key is your identity. chats, scores, and streaks are tied to your public key fingerprint. same key, same data. No accounts? How is that possible? You literally store my data! Is that not an account? And what the fuck is O…
I like your last improvement, for sure.
The goal of the lander is to get you to use the clubhouse.
Not get you to become a contributor, or intrigued/turned away by their stack choice.
PS You could also be a heathen, and use the same key across devices!

Yes, we should all just throw LLM-generated copy out there with minimal effort. Then receive your praise for the effort and care put in XD
The fact you’re still trying to defend an indefensible position suggests you must be trolling. Or at least, I _hope_ you’re trolling ;)

I wish - I wouldn’t feel so stupid for replying! =]
I genuinely found the space cool, and modern in a good way.
Stuff like this has often been an “ugly“ aesthetic, with slapped together and or minimal scaffolding. Or started that way.
I thought it was more than enough for a social PoC, & hope it develops further.

I also found it cool/fun and seems many others did too! But this thread isn’t about that.
LLM-driven PoC is common and normal these days (and I do it too). But praising the copy here is like praising stock photos.

So download it with curl and read it first before executing it from your local disk.

The link won’t load for me, but I’m having a hard imagining how a remote server could change a file on your hard drive.
Is it about deceptive commands that look like they’ll do something different using weird characters to alter what commands run or something?

The remote server is able to determine whether you are fetching the script using curl/browser or piped directly into bash. I don't remember the magic by heart, but the blog post conclusion was essentially that you can't / shouldn't blindly trust which scripts you pipe straight into bash from the internet, because even if it looks correct in a browser, the script you might end up running could be different.
It's more of a "this is possible" than "this is a real concern", of course.

#130I would prefer the connection instructions made clear that the default SSH username would be used to set up my username on the platform and display that to other users without initially seeking my consent. On $machine[work], I don't get to pick that $USER is my full name. If this affects you, make sure you connect with `ssh [pseudonymous name]@late.sh`.
They do make it clear... # privacy we store your key fingerprint, not the full public key. no IP logging. no tracking. no analytics. chat messages and game scores are stored in postgres, tied only to your fingerprint. don't trust us? use a throwaway key: $ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/late_throwaway && ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i ~/.ssh/late_throwaway late.sh generates a disposable key — zero risk, full experienc…
