And just like that, someone drops a cool $1.3 million on digital tokens to open the grand gates of #AI #magic 🪄✨, only to get bamboozled by the ancient sorcery of #JavaScript being disabled. It's 2026, and yet, folks are still wrestling with browser settings like it's 1999 🕰️🤦‍♂️.

6 million sperm cells… roughly… and somehow *I* was the fastest?

I just spent time looking for my USB stick.

The USB stick that was already plugged in.

The USB stick I was actively using to copy files.

I was looking for it because I wanted to move data.

My brain has left the session. 💾🧠

🎵🔐 "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. 📧✨
