It seems that they removed the phrase since your comment and now the post is dead serious.

rogue AI agents or AI agents coming from Moulin Rouge?

You are comparing robbery with ineptitude. They are two different things. If your ineptitude makes a 20$ loss you may not be fired as well. Billion dollars wasted at corp still is not billion dollars at the exec pockets (that would be theft and he would be facing charges). That the exec pockets millions regardles of the losses incurred by corp, even when it sounds awful to you or to me, is a problem between the corp and the exec.

I thought the same at first, but now I find myself relying on the AI answer (as it is usually reliable) and, also more and more, I continue interacting in the AI mode on the topic that motivated my search in the first place.

Worth separating two things here: the OPH technical papers (particle mass derivations, overlap consistency axioms, IBM quantum benchmarks) are very interesting and deserve scrutiny on their merits. But Mueller has published addenda that go well beyond physics — Rapture, a "Karma Engine" where future observers implement hell for bad actors, Jesus as an "inserted observer," named public figures facing cosmic justice. These aren't derived from the axioms; they're a messianic belief system wearing physics vocabulary. The technical work may or may not hold up under peer review. The addenda are a red flag about the whole project's epistemiology.

Absolutely, same feeling here. But I also see that the author wanted to say something, and finally he manages: it begins as a rant (generated by a prompt of course) the goes to some examples that are entertaining, at least making me remember how I did some things in the past.

Some AI slop aside, nice article to help us remember that the platform is much more powerful if we dare to do some things without the crippling framework help.

Ahhh but it gave me the opportunity to ran real programs, coming from an XT! *Edited to add an example: I could for the first time use AutoCAD. The price difference between a 286 and a 386SX was negligible, but the software I could use, was other league.

This article, being in turn inspired by another project, has a much more fun to read writing style. The "Gonon: building a clock with no numeral" is full of AI slop and that is very distracting.

so, kudos to the author at Senko.net!

Two very different solutions. Autohotkey is a scripting language for specific tasks, while Delphi is unbounded in this sense. And Visual Studio has no RAD concept.

This can be seen in action here in Europe. Near Antwerp, in Kruibeke, we stumbled upon a military base when deviating from the A14 to fill the tank. The whole area is blurred in google maps.

A good counterexample is the Arctic Weather Satellite project. It was defined as a new space process at ESA, so documentation required was reduced at the minimum, and risk acceptance was increased. Absolutely successful, on time, on budget, contractors happy, end users happy. But it is a small project and still difficult to replicate at large and to spread the mindset to other sections at ESA. Source: me. I work at that project as ground segment engineer.

...to be alive today, the title without the "today" means something different

At first I was confused by the title (my fault) and thought that the article had to do with geo-localization. And only after several paragraphs I could switch to language localization :D
