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 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.
@aj @990000 I wasn't going to overextend my claim 😉
@rainynight65 @aj @990000 the Psion 3 (1991) could label alarms. To be honest we're still over engineering this - a strategically placed chalk board could handle a morning reminder to get milk

@aj @rainynight65 @990000

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.
