DaveDisaster @davedisasterman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I fondly remember @mattdaviescartoon.bsky.social taking me to a proper old school arcade in his Scooby-Doo van. It didn't have a wizard painted on the sides, sadly, but IIRC, it was carpeted, I'm true 80s style! Man, that was a good night for ~8yo me! 110

Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise.

DaveDisaster @davedisasterman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Short sighted of them. All they had to do was teach the silica to process data and produce inaccurate results and they'd have been rolling in cash. Or some circular funding promises of cash at an unspecified date in the future. 000

Reposted by DaveDisasterDaniel Knowles @dlknowles.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm 431633458
