LLMs Finally Explain Bash 'Set -euo Pipefail' Safety Flags

You think I’m joking?

It’s real

It’s crazy because it seems like it’s significantly more emergent as a result of LLMs than even the most famous LLM word.

What’s funny about this, is it’s not evidence no one knew the command before this.

It’s just a marker of when that exact set of flags, in that order, made it into someone’s post-training dataset.

@code_star someone who no longer wonders why America doesn't have a Qwen or Kimi.

@osoleve @code_star Thats just routing the error into the first argument (most of the times so that whatever error u get , u get on stdout or whatever fail u are printing the output on to)
