“Do accessibility for AIs” has the same ring to it as “do accessibility for SEO” had. It's the plea to at least do it for the robots if you can't be arsed to do it for real humans.

It's dehumanizing.

And sure, in some ableist instances it might work, and in the end how you get to accessibility does not really matter, but I have seen projects under these premises collapse.

For example, someone might suggest Markdown files instead of making stuff accessible. And poof, the whole argument is gone

Much like ACAB, even "good" corporations are still fucking corporations.

Brand loyalty is a parasocial relationship.

"The experience of workslop directly erodes social connection, erodes trust in one another and in the end erodes solidarity. Because why would you stand with a person who does not do their job and offloads their work on you?"

Incredible thread.

Answered some of my questions about what people think the future will be if everyone codes like this. It seems to be: instead of thinking about constraints of any kind or "what is the most efficient way to do Y or the most readable way to do Z?" answer the question, "what is the most brute force way to perform X if I pretend that there are no resource constraints and nothing needs to make sense as long as I see some sort of test passing? Just ship it with spaghetti code.
