Human beat Claude to fix a broken Linux system by a few seconds

Dave Plummer asked Claude to fix Dave's broken Linux system while Dave raced it using Dave's own Task Manager TMOG. Both identified a runaway qbus runner process and tried to kill it; Dave's command landed a second or two earlier.

Today I raced an AI and beat it by a few seconds. Great minds think alike :-)

My Linux system was borked, so I asked Claude to fix it, then set off to fix it myself at the same time. I used Task Manager TMOG (t.co/OZcq1axGTb), and it used various CLI tools.

We both must have concluded the same thing - that the qbus runner process had run amok. And we both decided the correct resolution was to kill it, which it was. So we BOTH attempted to nuke it from space.

You'll note MY command worked; the AI one came a second or two later. You snooze, you lose. Gotta train more, bruh. Lift. You'll beat the old man one day!

I think a future version of TMOG needs a CLI so that your agent can inspect and drive the system as needed... for now, though, TMOG plus human intelligence seems a solid tie!

Get your meat-proxy-driven TMOG at t.co/OZcq1axGTb !
