Not arguing in bad faith. Not even sure what that would mean in this context.

> In so far as there's such a thing as 'understanding' in an LLM (which I still take to be stochastic parrots)

Good, we're on completely the same wavelength then: marrying "kill the Apaches" to "eating my RAM" sets up a stochastic of "very bad thing" with "computer process" so you get a hilarious response. No brain-washing required. That's all I'm saying. Not all the other stuff.

It means typing `apachectl -k stop`

Efforts at pedantry--- claiming that because Apache now has a broader meaning than the original "a patchy web server" the sentence is meaningless--- are just trollin'.

Or maybe you're a literal-minded LLM yourself ;)

The bad faith bit, not "Kill the Apaches eating my RAM"

re: Apaches

I'm a mobile dev so TIL there's something called `apache-ctl`. I suggest both of you take a deep breath or 3 :)

Well, speaking of deep breaths...

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't come out swinging like this:
