Act sarcastic all you want, that's a killer line. You do care.
- nlawalker 4mo agoThe headline on that section, "Static sites are for people who can still read", caught me off guard.
- altmanaltman 4mo agoBecause 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
- advael 4mo agoYea definitely, anyone with different preferences from you is just virtue signaling and/or trying to flex on you. Seems super reasonable to me
- cyanydeez 4mo agoyall, the line is referencing codegen & docsgen & slopgen; people are putting shit into the ether that neither them nor anyone else is going to read but will just be imbibed by some other agent for some random purpose no one strictly knows.
- advael 4mo agoAye, and the comment above mine was engaging with the line in a way that begged for mockery nonetheless
- altmanaltman 4mo agoAnyone who thinks their preferences translate to their viewers is not being honest with themselves. Developers care if your site is static or not, general visitors and web users do not. There is a reason why static sites are not the norm. You're trying to shoehorn your opinion and generalize it when in reality that's not the true. Thanks for mockery!
- advael 4mo agoSo we've gone from "anyone who expresses this preference is a snob" to "actually what matters is the preferences of some imaginary audience, who I can also speak for" Fascinating
- altmanaltman 4mo agoWhat's fascinating is your lack of interest in discussing the subject. Have a good day.
- advael 4mo agoIn a way, we're doing the same maneuver to avoid discussing the subject, deflecting to base insults involving psychoanalysis of the speaker based on their stated position rather than object-level engagement with the position per se. I agree that it's not a move that seems to invite meaningful discussion. Seems worth considering if that's a priority you have
- elmerland 4mo agoThere are a few bangers in there
- bbor 4mo agoOut of curiosity, which AI persona should I attribute this writing to? Is this Claude?
- elmerland 4mo agoYa, it’s Claude
- steve_adams_86 4mo agoIt’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
- teiferer 4mo agoDid anybody consider that this was sarcastically hand-crafted with some obvious LLM-isms mixed in for the lulz? It goes both ways...
- muglug 4mo ago> 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.
- FearNotDaniel 4mo agoI’m pouring out a shot of Tres Comas for Claude right now
- darkwater 4mo agoIt feels good now to have watched the whole SV series. just knowing the inside jokes or the short clips on HN was worth it.
- LPisGood 4mo ago> The weights already ate it. Your CC0 footer is a fucking eulogy. Made me wonder if there would ever be a copyleft reckoning to this whole thing. Probably not.
