    I propose a "proof of quality" consensus mechanism. :-)

      Sounds great -- let me fire up my agent swarm to get started on orchestrating the development of a planning spec.

        Have your agent contact my agent, we will never be in touch

    Roblox is leading the charge, makes me think of the Adventure Time episode where Beemo goes into the VR pod

  You won the internet today sir. At least for this geezer you did.

I guess it's too late for an "Eternal sunshine of the slopless mind"?

Shallow dismissals are not permitted on this site as per its rules.

  Not everything is worthy of a 5000 word Atlantic-style deconstruction when presented. I think the community largely embraces Hitchens' Razor. That being the case what is the minimum word count required to issue a dismissal?
  - OutOfHere 8mo ago
    Please. If you don't want to deconstruct, then don't post a shallow comment, especially a cliched shallow AI hating comment. As for Hitchen's razor, when it does apply, it applies implicitly, with no need for a comment or explicit mention.
    - forgetfreeman 8mo ago
      I think not. Your position would have us choose between leaving obvious bullshit totally unchallenged or trying to sail upwind into the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle. I, for one, reject both options and am perfectly comfortable with others expressing their disdain succinctly. Tl;dr: pffft.

        You will just have to hear the rule from the site admin, although the cost then to you could be higher. It is not "bullshit" as you said it, since no real argument was made that it is. Hitchen's razor applies to your claim.

        "You will just have to hear the rule from the site admin, although the cost then to you could be higher." I doubt that. My engagement with HN is on a level of morbid curiosity bordering on naked disdain. If n-gate was still a thing I probably would have quit checking the site altogether some years ago.

I like Macroslop because it pokes fun at the company who dislikes their new pet name so much they ban people for using it
