I can't believe that we live in a timeline where the thing people go most apeshit for in the world is a repository that literally consists of 77 lines of markdown that literally just say "don't write code that is pointless to write" in 6 bullet points

these skills always crack me up, i will never think it is not funny that the correct way to declare a command in a programming interface is to beg something to consider some string as calling you and also beg it to like "wait when you call us that means you should keep listening to the text in this markdown file please" and nothing actually is ever anything except a mash of fucking vibes that exist in a universe designed for the appearance of things working

@jonny speaking of "the appearance of things working", some Microsoft AI guy gave a big zoom presentation at my university and his slides were filled with slop. One of them had an AI "hammer" and "nails": https://tilde.zone/@mk30/116653889032252709

And that's just like, the perfect example of "the appearance of things that work." The "hammer" is bent and the "nails" aren't nails... You would never be able to do actual work if these were your tools. But if all you're doing is a *simulacrum* of work, then they're fine, right? 🫩

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] oh yea. and even his hammer and nail analogy needed an AI hammer and "nails".
