I saw another case recently where an LLM told a vibe coder it made some tests and was giving back all sorts of telemetry, but it turned out the tests didn't exist and all the results were made up. Chatbots will say shit like "ok I'll call 911" and then not do it bc they don't know what "doing" is.

There is at least one computer security product on the market (probably multiple) that very obviously copy and paste my Sysmon ruleset. Because they included a typo I made and never fixed. Frankly the ego boost is worth way more to me than being mad about it. I think that's a lot funnier anyway.

I really wish I could describe GenZ what it felt like growing up in a miracle. My grandfather on my mother's side was a dentist. He had a grand encyclopedia collection and it was just this incredible thing. You could pick up a random book and go to a random page and just be regaled with information
