I was blown away, part way through, Claude actually accurately guessed what I 
was actually creating.  It even knows the pinouts and picks ports on a chip for 
you.

Oh, no! Chuck’s program went rogue, escaped containment and hacked into 
municipal water systems!  No worries, they’re blaming it on Iran.



But on a more serious note, it does seem that AI assistants like Claude Code or 
even the much dumber ones like Gemini are quite good at coding tasks.  Or 
coding adjacent tasks like I have been configuring a couple new Linux servers 
and my skills in that area are rusty plus what worked in CentOS6 doesn’t 
necessarily work in AlmaLinux10.



On other types of tasks though, it still bothers me how they will confidently 
tell pants on fire lies.  If they don’t understand the prompt, or don’t know 
the answer, they will just make shit up.  And since they’re good at language, 
they are very convincing liars.  Or is the new word fabulist, ever since George 
Santos?  (and Harold Hill, in case you thought this was a new problem)

Wrote (better, described a desired outcome) my first AI program today for an 
ESP32.  Holy cow was that fast and easy and seemingly perfect.  Have not tested 
it yet but looks good.





So easy... wow!
