Load-Bearing Cheesecake
Serves a room full of people who did not read the terms of service, which is to say, serves everyone.
Serves: the whole status page. Prep time: 9 seconds. Cook time: the length of a postmortem.
Ingredients
- 2 reasoning steps, hidden
- 1 status page, 'degraded'
- salt, or whatever the model said salt was
- 1 context window, overflowing
Method
- Combine the confidence and the citations. Do not check either.
- Serve immediately, before the terms of service are read.
- Wait for the model to apologize. It will. Twice.
- Rename the model. Same fingers.
Vitamins: none the model could name without inventing one. Iron: the servers.
This is a joke about AI-generated recipes, made by lists and a date. Nothing here is edible, tested, or true. Especially the fingers.
