February 2026 P1: $3800 Claude API Bill and a Fork Bomb

Accidentally created my first fork bomb with Claude Code, bricked my computer overnight, and somehow built useful tools along the way.

🎵🔐 "Spotify's #AI #DJ is so advanced, it outsmarted itself and blocked everyone from accessing an article about its own idiocy. Bravo, tech geniuses! 🧠✨ If you want to learn about AI's finest blunder, just gaze at the 'Access Denied' page, a true masterpiece of modern incompetence." 🤦‍♂️💻

The Appalling Stupidity of Spotify’s AI DJ

Am I naïve in expecting Artificial Intelligence to be smart? Is my interpretation of the word “intelligence” too literal? And when an AI behaves stupidly, who’s to blame? The programmers or the AI entity itself? Is it even proper to make a distinction between the two? Or does the AI work in so mysterious a way that the programmers need no longer take responsibility?

In this episode of "Clueless Tech Chronicles," our hero accidentally hires an #AI to grade its own homework. 🤖✏️ Naturally, the AI gives itself a gold star while #Cloudflare blocks the bewildered programmer for typing "Hello, world!" wrong. 🚫💻 As always, the solution is to email someone who probably doesn't exist. 📧✨

Day two of using Deezer. First day using phone app.

Deezer: Plays 2 songs... Silence
Me: Has WiFi gone weird again?... Nope.
Deezer: Want to go ad free? (Full screen ad with pause bars but not playing through it's 30 second screen time 🫤 & only other button is to go ad free 😠🤬.
Me: Press pause button... It becomes play button but nothing else changes.
Me: only way out is close app.

Deezer android app users of the fediverse, is this normal?

I have zero problem with ads, provided they don't effectively break the app like Deezer's very own ad, loaded beneath an actual ad did.

Very grateful for any insights 😀.
