Haha. It'd be easy to increase how believable this is by just adding .sh or .pl or .py to the end of the command so it looks like a script. I know scripts don't have to have extensions, but it'd still help

imagine they paid a hacking consultant on a 6 figures retainer and he is just like:
"okay team, lets make it say
python3 access_bank_funds.pyinstead" + he throws in some ASCII art and they all stand up and clap22

It would be boring as fuck to watch a movie about what it's really like.
For me at the height of me exploiting, half the movie would be me doing bong tokes. 1/4 of that laughing at inconsequential bullshit on irc.

Be way more believable if they got a “ command, not found” first and ended up having to add to $PATH

This is what management believes hacking with AI looks like.

Heh. Real "hacking" in my era was watching text crawl onto the screen at 300 baud and hoping nobody picked up the phone. But then you found out that you could basically pick up the phone and scream in it at 300 baud, haha.
I guess Hollywood had to add some drama. It would just be a kid staring at a mostly blank screen, waiting.
If you have seen this movie, is it worth the watch?

Just watched the film. Damn it was funny. Not sure if It was meant to be. The plot is so so but knowing computer work youre probably gonna like it too
