Uh oh, looks like Google is now vulnerable to SCPs
Google search: Scp 426



Al Overview

Hello! I am SCP-426, a seemingly ordinary 1750W retro-style toaster. But I come with a unique twist: anyone who talks, writes, or thinks about me is involuntarily forced to refer to me in the first person.

The First-Person Effect: No matter what, it is impossible to describe me in...

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable.

(in typewriter font)

Practice Guide for Computer

Adapted from Ron Miller's Advanced Improv Practice Guide

Before starting your daily practice routine, read and seriously consider the following:

A. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS

1. How fortunate I am that in this life I am one who has been allowed to create beauty with computer.

2. It is my responsibility to create peace, beauty, and love with computer.

B. I WILL BE KIND TO MYSELF

1. IT IS ONLY COMPUTER

2. No matter my level of development in computer, how good or bad I think I am, it is only computer and I am a beautiful person.

3. I will not compare myself with my colleagues. If they do computer beautifully, I will enjoy it and be thankful and proud that I live in fellowship with them.

4. There will always be someone with more abilities in computer than my own as there will be those with less.

C. REASONS TO DO COMPUTER

1. To contribute to the world's spiritual growth.

2. To contribute to my own self-discovery and spiritual growth.

3. To pay homage to all the great practitioners of computer, past and present, who have added beauty to the world.

D. RID YOUR SELF OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS FOR BEING A PRACTITIONER OF COMPUTER

1. To create self-esteem

3. To manipulate

2. To be "hip"

4. To get rich or famous
