Finally, an AI agent that can run on my toaster




As long as the toaster as access to the network!

Jokes asides, except that fun of programming I don't quite get the usecase for this agent.


Kitchen appliances generally use powerline ethernet, ethernet over power is just simple inversion of power over ethernet already used in certain network appliances.

I really hope this post is a joke, but I can't tell for sure...

"Powerline Ethernet is a simple inversion of POE" is like saying that an internal combustion engine is the simple inversion of an oil well.


Was supposed to be a joke, I’m just bad at telling jokes

Nah, you're good. I've just been burned by Poe's law one time too many.

If I find out my kitchen appliance is trying to communicate to the internet, I will rapidly defenestrate it

Reminds me of an old meme:

My wife asked me why I carry a pistol everywhere. I told her, "Decepticons!" I laughed, she laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot the toaster, it was a good time.


Howdy doodly do!
