    @jeena And absolutely nothing can go wrong by downloading random files from the internet based on contemporary hype, making them executable and starting them…

      As opposed to cloning a random repository and running make or something?

          How else would you install something that doesn’t happen to be in your favorite package manager?

            @xigoi Are you actually trying to get malware into your computer? Don’t install **random** shiny new things without maximum skepticism. Period. Just let some other fools “test” the minefield for you. Or do a proper inspection. Executing foreign code just because it had “GPT” in the name… and acting like there was no other option… yuck!
