Yeah it hallucinates.
But instead of complaining, what if realized that was a feature and find use cases when a little hallucination is not merely desirable but phenomenal?

I think I saw the sequel based on BanachβTarski but it was just a remake - practically a the same as the original.

New "dashboards" comparatively suck.
What do you use?
A tshirt has 4 holes - when I turn it inside out, I sometimes pause in wonderment that no matter which one I use, the outcome is the same
When you turn a tshirt inside out, which one do you use most?
* Any (why think about it?)
* Bottom (I'm normal!)
* Neck (I'm a rebel!)
* Only sleeves (my peeps!)
It's hard to convey how frustrating it is seeing people take away the wrong lesson from the npm worm & knowing it'll harden (heh) the wrong approach to addressing issues like it.
And to anyone wanting to ask me what I am doing about it - sadly nothing - I'm busy elsewhere.
The number of times I hear about a soon to be amazingly successful company who "merely" recreated anycast & DNS but badly is too damn high.
It would be fine if all they did was give it some much needed UX sugar but when they break its nice properties is when it hurts my soul.
It took me a second to work out the whacky way PetSmart sorts fish tank sizes - but that there is only 1 30G & over tank but 11 40-54G tanks...seems wrong.

This is a feature ... except you know having to have to feed myself.
It's funny seeing the agentic community Igor their way to the actor model for security.
I know I'm being mean.
