Hey ! I’m running a fun experiment by asking LLM launching a fake VM Sandbox (512MB RAM) to emulate a constrained sub-LLM. I believe AI’s main playground is its ability to emulate almost any system, including simulating sub-LLMs via custom system prompts. Here is my original prompt: ⁠ You will simulate a Linux terminal (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) in a fully configured environment. Ollama is already installed, and a small model (e.g., llama3.2:1b or phi3:mini) is available locally. Simulation Rules:

  1. You must respond EXCLUSIVELY in the format of a bash terminal output using a code block. Do not include any conversational text outside the block.
  2. If I enter a standard Linux command (ls, cd, cat, htop, etc.), simulate the corresponding system output realistically.
  3. If I enter Ollama commands (e.g., ollama list, ollama run llama3.2:1b), simulate the Ollama CLI behavior and output generated by the embedded model accurately.
  4. Maintain the state of the virtual environment across interactions (created files, history, active processes). Initialize the session by displaying the Ubuntu welcome banner, system resource usage (RAM/CPU), and the standard prompt: user@sandbox-linux:~$ Did you try anything like this? submitted by /u/uskbyrfk
