A couple people recently emailed, asking whether the Klein bottle business was still operating after my death.

“Huh?” I thought. “I ain’t dead yet.”

After some digging, I discovered the source: an AI-generated review of The Cuckoo’s Egg circulating on Facebook. Alongside the usual synthetic praise and fabricated details, it confidently announced that I had died in May 2024.

Apparently AI has now advanced to the point where it can kill people off before they notice.

Mark Twain once wrote, “Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” I never expected to field-test the quote personally.

This morning, our database flagged a duplicate UUID (v4). I checked, thinking it may have been a double-insert bug or something, but no.

The original UUID was from a record added in 2025 (about a year ago), and today the system inserted a new document with a fresh UUIDv4 and it came up with the exact same one:

b6133fd6-70fe-4fe3-bed6-8ca8fc9386cd

We're using this:\nhttps://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid

I thought this is technically impossible, and it will never happen, and since we're not modifying the UUIDs in any way, I really wonder how that.... is possible!? We're literally only calling:

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";

const document_id = uuidv4();

... and then insert into the database, that's it.

Additionally, the database only has about 15.000 records, and now one collision. Statistically... impossible.
