Act sarcastic all you want, that's a killer line. You do care.

The headline on that section, "Static sites are for people who can still read", caught me off guard.

Because it's also bullshit. "People who read" prefer static sites and not prefer any kind of interactivity is just fetishizing intelligence. Readers don't give a fuck if your site is coded in react or static, most of them dont even know web technology statistically. Projection at its peak

Yea definitely, anyone with different preferences from you is just virtue signaling and/or trying to flex on you. Seems super reasonable to me

I've seen Claude come up with some pretty incredible bangers.

I mean, it's still obviously LLM-generated. But Claude's got a sense of humor if you prompt him right.

It’s so strange that the Claude-ness leaks out even when it’s prompted to use this tone. The underlying flavour shines through clearly. I’m sure you could get it to shake it with enough prompting

Did anybody consider that this was sarcastically hand-crafted with some obvious LLM-isms mixed in for the lulz? It goes both ways...

I'm fatigued by this hyperbole and profanity, especially when written by an LLM. There is too much of this. Human-written or not it makes it very difficult for me to engage with. The sentiment is bad. Is building this better than building nothing?

Just because this is how things are does not it's how they should be. I'm very tired.

This site is for the lolz and obviously following the style set by the previous mf websites. I find it cathartic to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation we are in, but also genuinely engage with the neck breaking pace of change we are all having to adjust to.

And the LLM came up with some really funny lines

It is as "cathartic" as dropping n words everywhere. N this and that, that n president!

Author has incestual relationship in their family. At least in my country that is highly offensive. For the sake of their possible children / siblinks, I hope they use protection!

People complain about all things all the time (rightfully) but I'm not gonna complain about your complaints now, I will only add that I sometimes enjoy humor full of "shock" and profanity. Still! , After decades of professionals and non-professionals diluting it. This site was funny. Ymmv

One starts wondering, is farming one of my strengths, is it something else.

As many says if AI does the creative part then I do the dishes, as opposite why we built computers for. Looks like we will be serving AI.

Exactly! Though it is sarcastic, it is the way in which everything is moving. No end to it and it'll get worse by day.

But the site has brilliantly captured the thoughts and the little nuances behind agentic coding. It is sure good for all the LLM providers, but on a slightly serious note, it just burns cash which could have been avoided all together.

All said, it's just too good and satirically correct with the prevailing attitude!

Nothing to complain or comment on about the thought process or content. Just don't get into an opinion forming on what is written, but just take a step back and retrospect, it is all on the wall!

Nice work IMHO!

It's AI. Telling a model to shitpost really isn't very interesting since that's pretty much half of everything on the internets and there was practically infinite training material.

Welcome to the future, where we have LLMs writing slop rants about LLMs writing slop!

I’m getting some serious Frank Grimes vibes here [1]. I think the slop is causing people to lose their minds because the cognitive dissonance they have seeing it proliferate while hating it so much.

Now Im suspecting if it's possible that VCs are part of the money loop, thus they are more than happy to fund as long as you pour enough of the funding back into the "AI ecosystem".

Funny to read this while I'm at the Snowflake summit, where every single vendor booth, keynote talk, and about 95% of tech talks are exclusively about agentic AI. Sometimes I wonder if everyone here is just pretending to like it because they have to, like a tech prostitute telling their investor john that that AI feature is the best they've ever had, it's so good. During Tuesday's keynote, one of the speakers kept getting salty that people weren't really clapping a lot, which was the only amusing part of a slog of a keynote that opened with an AI assisted DJ making "music" that might be fit for phone hold music, if that.

I don't even categorically hate AI. I just wish I could stop fucking hearing about it. These people killed their golden goose (shitty SaaS companies that feed into the giant human centipede of tech stacks that usually just ends up being ad tech at the top) and seem really pumped about it somehow.
