Some genius made his AI remind him to get milk in the morning and it used up his $20 account balance overnight because it kept checking if it was morning every 30 minutes. Lmao. “AI”

@990000 "How much could a simple cron job cost - twenty dollars?"
@990000 Especially genius since this is such a basic reminder that any smartphone made in the last fifteen years should be able to do this without needing to orchestrate agentic AIs.
@rainynight65 @990000 Fifteen years? My Motorola RAZR from nearly 20 years ago could do an alarm with a label (e.g. "get milk").
So US$20 a day to replicate something a festurephone could comfortably do.
You can go back even further, there were PDAs in the early 1980s which had alarms linked to calendars! It's kind of the most basic thing a PDA might be for.
[…] at least 70% of the AI hype that’s bottom-up — eg, excited users — is people who never learned how to actually use their computer suddenly realizing the computer can do things for them
