    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.
      • altmanaltman4 hours ago
        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

      There are a few bangers in there

        Out of curiosity, which AI persona should I attribute this writing to? Is this Claude?
        • elmerland5 hours ago
          Ya, it’s Claude

            > get hired at a comp number that requires a comma you've never used before

            Gotta hand it to Claude, that's almost a pretty decent line.

              I’m pouring out a shot of Tres Comas for Claude right now

                It feels good now to have watched the whole SV series. just knowing the inside jokes or the short clips on HN was worth it.

              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.

          • steve_adams_865 hours ago
            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
            • teiferer3 hours ago
              Did anybody consider that this was sarcastically hand-crafted with some obvious LLM-isms mixed in for the lulz? It goes both ways...

        Its not every day I get called a nobody from a clanker, its true, but I still dont like to be called a nobody.

      Made me wonder if there would ever be a copyleft reckoning to this whole thing. Probably not.

    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.

    • elmerland5 hours ago
      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

      • brendanfinan5 hours ago
        people were (rightfully) complaining about this kind of humor in 2019

          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
          • sevenzero3 hours ago
            Its a tale as old as time. I am 30 and still love fart jokes but I must accept that some people prefer the boring life and lost all humor.
      • thrie8di3 hours ago
        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!

          > Author has incestual relationship in their family.

          Now I want to know in which culture this is used as a common insult.

    • gobdovan2 hours ago
      As a former 7th grader, I liked the style. If anything, the over-the-top-ness makes it less bitter and more of a self-parody. It's honest about its own immaturity, making everything lighthearted again.

      It's also using only under-specific swearwords like 'm..f*king', which is not really instigating violence, attacking any characteristic directly, just exaggerated profanity to the point of unseriousness.

      I'm not saying the style is good or that everyone should tolerate it, I'm saying only that for me the exaggeration softens out the sentiment. I'd argue it's also what you sing up given the URL.

    This is great satire. If you read it as a parody it's uncomfortable, if you read it straight it's uncomfortable but in a different way.

    First they sell you the sickness and then they tell you the cure is too dangerous to release to the general public. Because their sickness will not sell.

    Why is this so good?

    Probably because someone still cared a lot about the bit! And wow this is really quite good lol.

    • elmerland2 hours ago
      Commitment to the bit is the only way. None of that “I like it ironically” bs here

    that's what our ai landlords want. i will give them that, and a few years later i will resell them the cure.

    We need this at a conference. Why are people pushing back so heavily when embracing it will bring you greater control over the technologies coming out. Yes AI will replace jobs, what now. Are you just gonna wait you fate or create it. Screw it!

      So... you did not read it, or did not understand what you read.

        What? What part of my comment says i disagree with what i read. "did i read it, or understand it" did you? you seem lost.
  • indianmouse5 hours ago
    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!

    > Websites are broken by default. They used to be functional, fast, and accessible but ugly. Now they're slop, agentic, and on fire — but they get attention, and attention is the only metric left. Nobody's reading and you know it.

    I’m upset if an LLM actually wrote this because this is p sick

    • yborg5 hours ago
      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.
    • helloplanets4 hours ago
      It reads a lot like an LLM... Especially this sentence:

      > Now they're slop, agentic, and on fire — but they get attention, and attention is the only metric left.

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

    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.

    Love that one. This LLM is fucking funny.

    Very good. A viable if any longwinded ode to the original. Which in itself is very fitting.

    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.
