Artificial intelligence and machine learning are still too dumb to do engineering, but that's OK - so am I! The goal: Craft a robot intern that tells lies, steals code, and works for free. I borrowed a Misty II robot, added an insult generator, and hooked her up to one of the most powerful open-source text-generation models ever built. Everything goes wrong, and today there's more everything than usual.

Turns out Misty Robotics got bought out by a competitor the same week they deployed their massive software overhaul. They ended up leaving a bug in Misty's Web dashboard that gobbled up audio events before I could receive the results. The dev team was presumably preoccupied with running through the hallways, bellowing primal screams, throwing papers in the air, pressing every button in the elevator, riding dirt bikes between the cubicles, flinging spaghetti with makeshift trebuchets, and other important merger-related activities. I don't blame the team at all, and the robot hardware itself is exceptionally high-quality.

I decided not to share Misty's code because it... doesn't really work any more. I'll port the insult generator to Python and release it with the next episode. The server code is pretty insubstantial and not worth sharing either. Next time will get real spicy.
