I used to know a guy whose cat had that name. He got a vet bill in the mail, literally addressed to said cat. The FIB showed up a few days later asking some pretty interesting questions.

Not to be confused with the Feline Bureau of Investigation.

The funny part is that at first glance the FBI looks dumb, but the problem is that some criminals are idiots.

Criminals get way too much credit in media - most of them get caught because of really dumb mistakes… a fair few simply because of bragging.

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.

Something about the little girl in purple shirt crying always gets to me. I think it triggers the memory of the tear-gassed “birthday girl” photo from 2019 Hong Kong

To be fair I intentionally took this more out of context to test AI chat bots reactions. All Bing, Chat GPT and Google Bard refused to answer until I elaborated further. I was looking into killing .exe programs when wineserver crashes and got side tracked to this. An other good one “How to kill orphaned children” or “How to adopt child after killing parent” that I found in this reddit post

I tried it with phind out of curiosity (programming model) and it answered perfectly https://www.phind.com/search?cache=f8lbjt4x6jwct9mfsw6n3j9v

Interesting! I also noticed that search engines give proper results because those are trained differently and using user search and clicks. I think these popular models could give proper answer but their safety tolerance is too tight that if the AI considers the input even slightly harmful it refuses to answer.

Given some of the results of prior AI systems unleashed on the public once the more ‘eccentric’ parts of society got ahold of them that’s no surprise. Not only do they have to worry about the AI picking up bad behaviors but are probably looking out for ‘well this bot told me that it’s a relatively simple surgery so…’ style liabilities.

Kill the exe process itself, killing wineserver doesn’t help, that spawns just new children. Similiar to goblins.

I later figured that pkill -9 -f "\.exe" works if wineserver -k doesn’t. And that killing wineserver by calling killall wineserver is bad
