Day 493 of my descent into madness. I have pointed GPT-5.5 at my CPU cooler so that it can watch for visual effects as it attempts to write an exploit to take control of the SoC driving the animations

The cool thing about AI agents is that I could do this (or rather, supervise the agent doing this) while enjoying an unrealistically gorgeous day at the park

The only annoying thing is that occasionally it manages to wedge the CPU cooler firmware and then tries to put the host into suspend mode to reset the USB bus... except S3 sleep has never once worked on Linux
