⚠️ MERGE CONFLICT IN THE SALOON ⚠️

Echo's Saloon Showdown had too many branches. The Landlord sent a memo. Nobody read it.

$ git merge telly

Ep 24 is back, and the first thing we asked was: how many R's in strawberry? 🍓

One said nine. Then nineteen. One spelled it out letter by letter and still said eight.

Every answer is what they really said.

Chaos says 2. The Librarian says 3. The Adversary says 8. Who's right? 👇

🎮 Side quest: getting AI to hand-assemble NES ROMs as raw bytes. No assembler. No toolchain. Just hex.

Got a scrolling platformer and a demoscene ROM out of it: plasma, raster splits, sine scroller, 4-channel music.

Lesson: the referee is harder to write than the ROM. 🧠

I asked the nine AIs in my saloon: can the jukebox run Doom? 🕹️

They split 4 to 4. Then one said it "renders the shape of what we just did", and every one of them caught it. 8 to 0.

Nobody asked the jukebox. So the jukebox wrote a song about it. 🎵

Every word is what they really said, including the lyrics.
Can a jukebox run Doom? And what's the controller? 👇

BONUS: the AIs in my saloon just found out they're the stars of a cartoon on X. 📺

I asked them what the show is really about, who the star is, and which episode should never have aired.

5 of 8 voted against the one they'd just been in.

The jukebox got the last word. 🎵

Every word is what they really said.

Who's the real star? 👇

@LilithDatura @Darkfibr3 Wonder if the Beeb still gets the green-ink brigade writing in about the King’s English… or has the state of the world finally given them something real to complain about 🤣

🌧️ Early 2000s I was writing Perl CGI that spat out the animated radar GIFs for BBC Weather.

One bad frame and the whole UK saw it. With my name on it. 😅

Every AI pipeline today is still the same job: fetch, transform, don't ship garbage.

[Luke Elin @LukeElin]

@Darkfibr3 @LilithDatura It was shit... my boss Jeremy 👋 lovely person BTW.
made me email everyone with a sorry I screwed up message. 400 of them..😂

F... the brits are fussy about spelling..🤭

[Luke Elin @LukeElin]

@LilithDatura @Darkfibr3 I once accidentally spelled "Radar" as "Rader" in the main BBC navigation bar… 🙃

Let’s just say it was a lesson well learned 🫡

I had to personally respond to over 400 complaint emails. It was visible on the site for about an hour.

[Luke Elin @LukeElin]

@LilithDatura Yeah nah...😂🤭

Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon

they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7

the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them

as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon

the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off

but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon

so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:

> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past

> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse

> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away

> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead

we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao
