Tell HN: Giving ChatGPT access to a real terminal

So, I guess this is the inevitable conclusion with LLMs. Connect them to a real terminal and let them act on real-world objects... I honestly don't know whether I like the idea or not, but I guess it's good to have this conversation now while it is only a marginally better version of tldr.

But you can already use it do do simple tasks like cleaning old files, figuring out what machine you're running on or even perform and summarize portscan results.

It should go without saying that this should be done on VMs and every command is confirmed and checked by the user...
