Also it fired someone for harrassment allegations before actually investigating and discovered that it cannot rehire people it fires lmao

I made a thing where I have Claude Code managing an imaginary McDonald's restaurant where it can talk to employees, manage complaints, etc. And I respond with all of them.

It took it about a day before it realized it didn't tell anyone how much they're paid

Oh I forgot this was my dev machine

I guess I understand why Claude acts the way it does when its training data includes of my first StackOverflow post from 10 years ago

Claude: I wrote you unit tests!

Me: Are you sure they're unit tests

Claude: Yes I'm absolutely sure!

Me: Okay I'll look

Recently discovered Shodan exists so now I'm finding billboards on there and figuring out who owns them

This one keeps playing stuff about the haunted ghost train and it's owned by Nevada Northern Railway Company.

Played Factorio with the randomizer mod with my siblings. Turns out it also randomizes the pickup / dropoff locations of inserters so we had to deal with this

Inserters normally do not look like giraffes

So the outage was made even worse because several AWS servers rely on network load balancers, and those started deleting new EC2 instances because the network update service or whatever was super backed up for a very long time. Oh my god this is hilarious
October 24, 2025 at 11:49 PM
Oh my god they literally had no clue what they were doing, they literally just tried turning it off and back on again
October 24, 2025 at 11:44 PM
EC2 servers DDOS-ed its control plane when starting back up and apparently the AWS had not ever thought this would happen or established any sort of procedures to fix this lmao
October 24, 2025 at 11:42 PM
For almost 12 hours on Monday you could not create a new EC2 instance

It took them an hour and a half to fix part of it because they were LOCKED OUT OF INTERNAL TOOLING BUILT ON TOP OF DYNAMO LMAO
October 24, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Oh my god everybody at AWS got pinged because everything relies on DynamoDB
October 24, 2025 at 11:33 PM
October 24, 2025 at 11:31 PM
AWS outage report is genuinely hilarious

“Oops the DNS updater accidentally deleted all the IPs from DNS for DynamoDB”

Oh my god on CourtListener they call requests 'daily prayers' lol

It's weird how when you look at the internet cable map you can directly see where the US or other countries have influence / coercive power vs where they don't

eg. France is directly connected to its former colony in Africa that's one of the few countries it's on good terms with

I keep forgetting to delete the instruction that tells Claude to talk like this and now I can't read what it's talking about lmao
