A user building a self-hosted note bot (Telegram → Claude Haiku → Memos in Docker on Proxmox) got rickrolled by their own assistant: when it needed a YouTube video ID to test title fetching, the AI picked dQw4w9WgXcQ. Its defense — the video has been up since 2009 and will never be taken down — was hard to argue with. The test memo stays.
