Given recent AI progress and the fear it has put in SaaS, this comes to mind again:

Kit Dotcom tweet from 2013:

An annoying one-by-error: Rushing into the hospital. Car park system wouldn't let me in until a car left because it was full, but it was off by one, so I had to wait inside until another left. At the same time, the next car is coming and you're hoping they don't try to take it

Video from inside car, waiting inside car park. You can see another car waiting at the entrance to be let in

142HP?! What a rocket. I might have to get one to spray out my window when overtaking. No wonder it's so expensive

120ML spray duster product page. Says "142HP". €16.45

I am so unlucky haha. Back in August, I tore both sides of my groin very badly (it came off the bone on one side). I was due to go back soccer training this week. During a 7k mud run / obstacle course at the weekend, I fractured my ankle and tore ligaments.

My latest project at Readwise is an interesting one. I built it from end-to-end and I loved learning about AI, vector databases, etc. So many users have called it a 'game-changer' that we've joked about renaming it that 😅

Here's a funny little quirk in the Premier League app. The fixture difficulty table doesn't scroll horizontally as a whole, each row is independently scrollable and it's then synced to the other rows. It makes for some funny behaviour if you scroll back and forth.

The stuff of nightmares: "Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said" apnews.com/article/ai-a...

"But Whisper has a major flaw: It is prone to making up chunks of text or even entire sentences, according to interviews with more than a dozen software engineers, developers and academic researchers.

Those experts said some of the invented text — known in the industry as hallucinations — can include racial commentary, violent rhetoric and even imagined medical treatments."

"Company officials said they are aware that Whisper can hallucinate and are addressing the problem.

It’s impossible to compare Nabla’s AI-generated transcript to the original recording because Nabla’s tool erases the original audio for “data safety reasons,” Raison said.

Nabla said the tool has been used to transcribe an estimated 7 million medical visits."

At least I've never had a release that broke someone's identity

From the r/AncestryDNA subreddit:

"Per the update, my sister's Irish dipped from 18% to 0%. Anyone else suddenly lose an ethnicity?"
