I like how, as someone else put it, all these AI responses exhibit sociopathic tendencies which reflect the elite caste that is pushing for them.

The idol statue reflects the woodcarver who made it.

It's tf2 and a coconut instead of a banana, but yes, game doesn't run without it.

Apparently TF2 added a "community-generated" map last week that was not only broken itself, it broke other maps too, causing game crashes.

The issue was a model of a row boat that was added to the official game in 2009. cp_premuda was added to the official game in July, 2026. But Premuda is a lot older than that, and it references a version of the row boat model that is older than what was added to the game in 2009.

Yes, one of those. Even came with a warning

Or the architectural problem, because your precursor was an idiot.

I had a coworker on one project that took input as short integer values between 0 and 32767. The values conceptually represented min and max values between 0.0 and 1.0, so one day he changed all the parameters to Float, like in hundreds of places. Since the application then wouldn't compile, he wrapped all the calls via search-and-replace so that the integer parameters were cast to Float and then clamped between 0.0 and 1.0.

Viola! the application then compiled. Unfortunately, this application controlled a baseball-throwing machine capable of 125 mph and he decided to test his new version (for the very first time) on an actual baseball field with Little Leaguers on it. The machine's first throw was supposed to be a soft ground ball to the shortstop, but was instead a 125 mph knuckleball a foot above the kid's head. This lead to the only time in my programming career when I had to physically intervene to prevent a fistfight (between the client and my manager).
