The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

    I'm Guessing he downloaded it from chatgpt, hence the location

    That's a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder's contents.

    If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

    What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

    What makes you think this index.html is more than a single Hello World?

  • Yeah, you know you can put CSS inline / in the header, and images can be base64 encoded and put in line as well.

    Same with JavaScript. It's probably a whole single page website with no ability to cache anything and can never be bigger than the context window

    As a web dev I'm not worried, but chatgpt has been useful figuring out some Godot/C# oddities that come with learning a new language. I worry for the new people who will just use what it says and not learn anything.

    Even then, it will spit out methods and signatures from different but similar libraries (litedb and sqlite for instance)

    But like @rooroo@feddit.org said, I was expecting it to be a single page, probably rammed with unnecessary JavaScript.

    My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I'd absolutely do that.

    I'm just surprised it seems to actually be in c/users instead of a OneDrive folder

    Probably downloaded it from ChatGPT, that's why it's in the downloads folder.

    Default location of the downloads folder becoming OneDrive wouldn't suprise me at all

    I did a quick install of windows (last year I think?) and it sorted everything into a onedrive folder. documents, pictures, videos, downloads, all that stuff, looked normal from the file explorer, but was sneakily placed into a onedrive folder. it went something like c:/users/me/onedrive/. didn't realize what it had done until like 2 days later and it gave me some popup about not being able to upload. i don't even have a onedrive account; it just decided that was how it should be done. no idea what, if anything, it actually uploaded.

    now if i have to install windows i have a script from privacy.sexy i run before doing anything else. havent had that happen again yet. still, probably best to assume anything on a windows machine is not private.

    Sorry but no.

    OneDrive would never back up a Downloads folder, that is just silly with the amount of data it gathers. Would fill up MS servers in no time.

    The only folders it may put automatically in OneDrive are Pictures, Documents and Desktop.

    I think it might offer Downloads as an optional checkbox to select on first login, but can't remember off top of my head. Also, they definitely want you to blow through your free storage to give you a reason to upgrade the storage.

    That seems really round-about.

    Just:

    import Money
    
    Money.make('rain')

    Sometimes they block that, so you have to do this instead:

    me.accountBalance = exploit.infiniteMoneyGlitch();
    

    You only get access to that method if you were born with rich parents, though.
