I've been working on a subscription-based AI that you upload an audio file to and it tells you which frequencies are present in it (formatted as json of course). It's baffling that nobody has thought of this yet. Audio market, prepare to be disrupted 👊

If you were serious about correctness, your program would dump its entire memory to a file after each instruction, and then call a different program to parse itself and make sure everything is ok
