Sounds like something Gilfoyle's AI from Silicon Valley would do.
> I had no explanation.
The AI broke modern encryption in order to implement lossy compression.

+1 for proper use of "literally"
This concoction is "the regular" for me.
When I worked at starbucks I loved that shit! 2 shots of blonde espresso, a pump of caramel and a liiittle bit of steamed half+half. Thinking about it now makes me feel sick though.
Is that not just a caramel macchiato?
Huh, yeah. Guess I should have read the drink book a little more carefully :D

are you aware that it's undrinkable? ;-)
My yearbook advisor sent yahoo mail and asked what I would like to be picked up at Starbucks for an early morning meeting the next day.
"Caramel Mocha, thank you!", I replied.
The next morning, I was surprised with an undrinkable "Caramel espresso" - an espresso with a pump of caramel syrup. I thought she had made an innocent mistake and was shocked to see there was in fact a difference between my sent text and her received text. I had no explanation.
After some years in web dev, and encountering this article, I realized that, as the precursor to javascript - the script type "mocha" was valid, so yahoo just went ahead and replaced all references to mocha with something that probably seemed innocuous to a junior developer - except it wasn't.
