My suspicion would be that it was attempting to respond like a normal user but hit a bug.
And no worries! It was fun to try to puzzle out what it was doing.

Not entirely certain. It looks like maybe it is trying to print a raw string / string literal. ~~If there were more outputs, could tell if it's a structure or just garbage. I'm leaning towards the latter.~~
~~I suspect that it's hit a bug related to memory access timing (race condition) or addressing (seg fault or similar). That is, it may be trying to read raw values of at a memory location, before the intended data has been written there (or at the same time that another part of the program is trying to write to it). Or, attempting to read from a memory address that it's not supposed to.~~
~~That said, the string does kinda look like a structured format, potentially for an address but... I'd expect it to start or end with "0x" or "x0" (hexadecimal or backwards hex) and,~~ if it were a conventional, modern memory address, there should be 32, 48, or 64 bits. "d55555" would be 24 bits.
While writing this out, I discovered something interesting. OpenCL has 24-bit multiplication (apparently, it is me efficient for some things). And OpenCL is often used for GPU acceleration of drumroll llama.cpp. I think we have a winner. The bot likely was trying to get text from using an LLM and either read the wrong memory address or the right address at the wrong time.
You have to ask yourself: Is fulfilling that desire for retribution worth the lives of the millions of vulnerable people who would be killed due to lack of medical treatment, potable water, food, etc?
And yet the comments and downvotes shows how contentious it is which I knew it would be when I wrote it.
Probably extra contentious because it's trans discrimination on Pride weekend. And there's the fact that some research (backed by the International Olympic Committee) suggests that trans-women may perform worse than cis-women.
Even if more research comes out that shows otherwise (entirely possible considering that it's hard to get a decent sample population of elite trans athletes as there are so few), discrimination is not a solution. The simplest solution would be to get rid of gendered leagues and group athletes by measureable athletic abilities. Probably would make most people with an actual vested interest happy, with exception of those who want to keep paying women less.
Indeed! Would be necessary to ensure that it walks a line that is not ableist, while still preventing obstructionists from having undemocratic power to kill legislation with a "nuh-uh".
Honestly, with the significance of the space shuttle program to Houston and vice-versa, having one on display in Houston does seem important. Feels really weird to agree with something that Ted Cruz says (even if the actual intent may be a bit different).
EDIT (before even posting): I looked into it a bit and came across this article on arstechnica. It looks like it's indeed a political stunt. All of the necessary transport vehicles have been disassembled and the staff involved in their operation retired.
The cost would be significantly higher than $85M. It's also questioned whether the orbiter would survive the trip. Would have been ideal for an orbiter to be in Houston but may not be reasonably possible at this point.
Ah! That's unfortunate. If adventurous, maybe hunt down a used battery that partially charges and swap cells?
Have you continued luthiery yourself?
Also, I also have tremors when doing fine detail work. Depending on the cause (and your health), it may be possible for your Dr. to prescribe something to help. Mine suggested that β-blockers could help if it gets too intense.
Yup. A massive portion entry and mid level positions in the scientific field that I did my undergrad in were offshored in my graduation year. This led to competing with PhD and MSc candidates, sometimes with 10+ years of experience, for basic lab tech positions... in a recession. Glad to have developed other skills.
So...Border Patrol is operating more than 100 miles from a land border. Yeah, they're using the loophole of counting international airports as "borders" afterall. Yay.
Subject: Fire
Dear sir/madam,
~~I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road.~~
Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Maurice Moss.
I have a question for folks here, mainly around English linguistics but would love to hear of parallels in other languages. If you're not big on cats, just skip the next paragraph, which I've include for the context to be clear and show why I have provided the picture.
This morning, one of my cats was acting up a bit, hopping on the table where I have an electronics project, and searching for something to pilfer. In order to halt this behavior, I distracted him with a good deal of play with his toys (he is very athletic, so, lots of tossing a toy mouse for him to chase, then walking over to where he's left it because he doesn't fetch anymore). The image is of the culprit now that he's worn out.
While trying to achieve this state, I had a modified aphorism occur to me:
Idle cats are the Devil's playground.
It occurred to me then that I'm not sure if there is an extant term to describe taking an existing aphorism and modifying it while still conveying the same or similar meaning. For those not familiar, the original aphorism is "Idle hands are the Devil's playground" (apparently of biblical origin), meaning roughly that busy people don't often get into trouble or conversely that bored people will get into mischief.
There is a term, if informal, to describe, often intentional, mismatch of parts of aphorisms (ex. "Not the sharpest egg in the attic"), malaphor. Can anyone think of a similar extant term for a modified aphorism? If not, after trying multiple prefixes, I think that the least clunky seems to be "transaphor" (trans- meaning to change).
Anyone have thoughts on the matter?

You could try
sudo passwd username. If you're using it as a remote system via ssh, I'd strongly recommend to use key-based with instead. It's both easier and more secure.
