so this whole story is bullshit?

No, it is definitely there and real, I deleted the databases and blocked them from being rebuilt on my mac yesterday. People can use LLMs to do useful work, especially if they already know what they are doing.

Maybe so, but if someone can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it.

seriously. I can deal with an inept overly techy writer, but if you use the lying machine to mediate your communication, I can't trust anything you say.

Automated messaging systems that send us important or relevant information have been around for quite a while now. Ignoring a message simply because of the way it was created is rarely wise.

Automated messaging systems have been deterministic but indeed, if more than just a short notice have been routinely ignored by most since the rise of e-mail and automated spam.

How does one do this?

[–] Womble@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Delete ~/Library/IntelligencePlatform (or back it up to a different directory if you're worried about things breaking and want to be able to put it back) then make an empty file in place of the directory with touch ~/Library/IntelligencePlatform

Good advice. Also for passer-bys if you get hit with the Operation not permitted bullshit, just make sure the app you're using has Full Disk Access since this is considered a "protected folder".
