What does the screenshot mean, though?

From what I can tell (I speak Chinese), it's just an IV used in some AES implementation tutorials.

Using a hardcoded key/IV is obviously bad, but I don’t see what this screenshot shows beyond that.

Someone just copy-pasted an implementation from a random Chinese blog, completely unaware of what the key means.

But.. the blog was chosen by a series of dice rolls, guaranteed to be random!

All 4s for some reason. [1]
