Fuzzy Memories

Ever have a memory kind of pop in from nowhere? A random memory came up from some trip I made up to Seattle – something I did semi-frequently in the early 2000’s. I remember walking by and hearing some kind of show going on in the Pike Street market theater (yeah, the one with all the gum on the wall). There was nobody at the door, but the door was open and I heard singing so I walked in. Imagine my surprise to find the entire theater packed. There was a fantastical musical going on. I caught like the last 2 songs of the show – and it was some artsy stage show about the Manhattan project. I remember the dialog was…pretty stilted, ponderous, and not a little pompous.

I seem to remember the creators were there and the crowd seemed to be a lot of friends.

So, I threw that into chatGPT and asked it about my fuzzy memory. Some kind of big night for a mediocre musical about the atomic bomb that was in Seattle sometime in the mid 2000’s. What do you know:

Based on that timeframe, you are almost certainly remembering “Atomic: The New Rock Musical,” which had its World Premiere development and regional preview right in Seattle during that exact window. [1]

Sure enough – the music reminded me of the dialog. Apparently Atomic: The Musical went on to have “mixed to moderately positive reviews during its Off-Broadway run at Theatre Row in 2014, following earlier stagings in Australia. [1, 2]”

Who knew that AI can now help you with your bad memory.

Big Tomater created this video of Palpatine joining Anakin and Obi-Wan on Dr. Phil.

Or how about a paternity test between Padme, Anakin, and Obi-Wan on the Maury Povich show. It was made locally on a RTX 5070 Ti graphics card – something anyone can buy off the shelf for $1300.

Or Luke finding out Darth Vader is his father on Jerry Springer!

Yeah – this is 100% AI generated. It’s getting this good.

This is very tongue-in-cheek, but also somewhat mind blowing possibility thinking.

What if you really don’t need to buy software anymore – you just use AI in the OS to generate the apps you need on the fly? I highly suspect we may enter this realm soon.

Yeah – this is why there will be no more coding jobs in 12 months

MonroeWorld, takes an XBOX 360 binary file and recompile it for Windows. With 4 simple prompts, he has it working and is already adding new features (keyboard support, windowed running, etc). He even unlocks the program – which is easy when you have the compilable source.

He knows almost nothing about coding.

This kind of work would have likely taken a group of experienced devs with source access for the original game at least 3 months to port and release. He does it here in about 2 hours with very little knowledge.

Granted, this is not releasable software. It has not been validate, checked for security issues, etc. But this shows how a game company could potentially recompile every game they have ever made in their library for any platform and update it with just one guy working in the morning, and an agent running validation passes for a few days.

This is where the software world is. Anyone can do this. Any one person can do this.

Besides recompiling a game, Claude completely cloned Hollow Knight in under an hour. This video does a great job capturing what this experience is like for those of us in this industry. For those of us that have been developers for 20+ years, this is orders of magnitude beyond the rate of change we have ever seen. Whole teams of people can be replaced with just one person and an agent. Games, apps, and software you had to pay $100’s of dollars for can simply be made for the cost of the tokens.

Not a single second of my work day is the same as it was a year ago. I have not written more than a few line of code myself in months at this point. All of the software that I used to use regularly, I am replacing with my own custom software that I created with AI.

Anthropic’s IPO filing is revealing tons of juicy information

  • Claude income only covers what it costs to serve up the requests, it doesn’t touch the hardware costs
  • Only 1/3 of it’s $8.9 billion first-half compute bill was for customers, the rest went to research, trainging and internal Claude usage.
End of bug bounty programs

End of bug bounty programs

More people are ending their bug bounty programs. Most cite because there’s been a flood of AI generated bug reports.

  • Intel: Ended its paid bug bounty program (which offered up to $100,000) in September 2026, replacing it with a no-reward vulnerability disclosure program.
  • Google: Paused product vulnerability submissions for its Open Source Software Vulnerability Reward Program (OSS VRP) starting October 1, 2026, with a planned review/update by Q1 2027.
  • cURL: Terminated its bug bounty payouts at the end of January 2026
  • Nextcloud: Terminated its bug bounty program

Many early bug bounty programs cited a flood of worthless AI generated reports, but that is increasingly becoming less true. Curl originally stopped in January because of a flood of low-quality AI-generated submissions that was rarely a bug, but now the tide has turned and Curl’s Daniel Stenberg is now getting good quality bug reports. Everyone from Microsoft to the Linux have had dramatic 2x-10x increases in CVE fixes each release.

So, I suspect everyone is trying to absorb the mass of AI discovered bugs (Project Glasswing) and then we’ll likely return to a more normal bug bounty environment. That pre-supposes the number of bugs AI finds will actually decrease over the next few months…

We like it when we vibe-code your apps, but not when you do it.

It does leave people like Microsoft in a pinch. You want to push how amazing your AI is at generating code and apps; but suddenly realize now everyone can replace your apps with better ones without paying you much of anything.

Or worse, when you fire all your employees and they can all get AI tools like Claude for relatively cheap, or increasingly for free with local LLMs, perhaps your engineers will be the ones going off and making those new companies and ideas – and forget all about you.

Fans say AI made Doctor Who is better than BBC has made in years

Want to see where AI is taking us? How about allowing fans to actually take over a show heading down the tubes and generate better shows than the BBC. The Unmade Season (website) created a 100% AI generated 50 minute episode of Doctor Who that takes off after David Tennant’s reign called “The Curse of Kilmorag”

Even more amazing, he did it largely at his own home setup with local versions of LTX 2.5 and MiniMax models, using minimal amounts of external data centre resources.

The BBC’s new director general has described a 50-minute AI-generated episode of Doctor Who as “pretty good,” and suggested that the technology now enabled the creation of content “at the standard of a Hollywood studio.”

What does this say about current professional Hollywood and TV show runners when a fans are so upset at what you’re generating that they now start making episodes that rival professional productions on their home PC’s? When one fan creates an episode at home that gets over a million views when you spent literally millions on an episode of the actual show and only got a total of 3.48 million views (including later streaming watches).

The World Humanoid Robot Games got a lot of press and internet meme videos on their sometimes comical failures, but these achievements are nothing to scoff at. Robots are performing amazing acts of agility and speed – beating the human world record 100 meter sprint by over a second. Boxing, soccer, running, high jumps, tai chi – these are some pretty impressive feats.

Instead of just random clips, I wanted to see the whole show and managed to dig up these full clips for the various days competitions.
