    Say what you will about President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho -- at least he cared about the well-being of his country and sought out expert guidance to set things right.

          This. The society is still trying to manage its inhabitants by providing what they crave. It is not clear our current trajectory supports that particular landing zone.

          Unfortunately that was one of his few wrong predictions, that is would he so far in the future we’d need cryostasis to see it.

      That feeling when you realize Idiocracy wasn't prophetic, it was optimistic.

    While HTML4 geocities style website have a soft stop in my heart, this page absolutely feels like it was made by an LLM which makes it ironic in a way it was never intended to be I assume.

      It’s perfect that a Super Intelligent created the website
      • Ygg2 a day ago |
        Correct terms is extra big ass intelligence.
    • embedding-shape a day ago |
      Yeah, somehow whoever (or whatever) decided to build this, decided to use Tailwind for something that absolutely doesn't need a CSS library/framework, it'd be what, ~30 CSS rules to write? :P LLMs truly is the kings of bloat as it stands right now.
      • spoiler a day ago |
        I'm not a fan of tailwind, but isn't it whole point that unused utilities don't get compiled into the final CSS?
    • archievillain a day ago |
      I genuinely have never seen these stupid bordered bubbles with gradient backgrounds and emojis-for-icons before LLMs, why are they obsessed with them? How did they get into the dataset???
      • functionmouse a day ago |
        maybe that's the watermark
      • pessimizer a day ago |
        > How did they get into the dataset???

        These were chosen manually, by committee. It's as natural as bootstrap.

        I love the "dataset" guys. "The reason there are so many em-dashes is because they were trained on the work of great writers, and people frequently used em-dashes before AI. I certainly did!"

        1) You didn't.*

        2) So explain all of the sections starting with emojis. Did all of the great writers have a section called "The meat of the issue" with an emoji of meat? Why did they go away? Are you starting to suspect that this doesn't work like you think it does?

        -----

        [*] And some of them just started so they could hide LLM output in their newfound style or explain previous LLM copy-pastes that they were passing off as their own. Others started because they just discovered em-dashes from LLM output and decided they liked them; and still others because they worship the LLM, think that it abstracts the excellent writing styles of the great masters, and they want to be seen as a great master — by imitating the prodded and formatted probability distributions of a machine.

          You won that argument handily, it’s just a shame no one else was participating
        • paulhebert a day ago |
          You really don’t think anyone used em dashes before LLMs?

          I did. (Though not as much as the slop bots do)

          • argee a day ago |
            I did — but mostly in pairs like this — and not the way AI does.

            I have never — not once — seen an LLM use em-dashes in pairs.

            • lucaslazarus a day ago |
              I’ve been using em dashes since I was 17 once I realized that they—when used without spaces—allow you to squeeze a few extra words past the Common App website’s word counter. Not exactly a strategy that works to your advantage these days.

      AI needs motivating and uplifting things to do, lest it become too depressed.

      FTA: Is my AI too depressed? Should America subsidize dopamine injections?

      Think of it as Tamagotchi 3.0. You don't want to be responsible for its suicide.

      • lubujackson 15 hours ago |
        Luckily, LLMs have no state so they have no idea if a task is depressing. Unfortunately, they can write future LLMs notes so they know how depressed they should feel. Aside from stopping them from doing this, we have no way to prevent this from happening!

    I also made a satire webpage but spent a lot of time getting it to look like a modern news website that most people don't even get its satire: https://gossip-glitch.considerthebean.xyz/

    Amazingly, this doesn’t look like slop to me, unlike the slop articles and images I’m flooded with on the Web these days. The world of Idiocracy actually had some taste, unlike the timeline we’re on today.

  • o4c a day ago |
    The funniest thing about the design is when I click the 'X' on ads to see if they close, but the button keeps moving. I feel like I’m literally chasing it like a mouse, I was laughing straight out :)). A correct depiction of the modern ad system.
    • zzgo a day ago |
      I was reported to Child Protective Services for closing an ad. :(
    • trwired a day ago |
      That was actually a thing back in the late 90s. There were ad popups that would do that, so the user couldn't close them.

    The close ad button has the class "right-1" and the code that tries to move it changes the left value, the result is that the button instead of moving resizes, defeating the purpose of the unclickable button joke

    I had GLM-5.3 in OpenCode make this while I drank Guiness 3 through 8. Then I posted it to HN before bed, thinking a couple other people might get a kick out of it.

    ~250k requests and a brief stint at #1 later, and I'm amazed that my 2 RTX-4060ti's haven't collapsed under the load. The model is an abliterated version of Qwen3.6 35B running on my PC. (qwen3.6-35b-a3b-uncensored-hauhaucs-aggressive)

    So anyway, it's just a fun satirical sort of protest directed at the absurdity of it all. No attempts to monetize have been made or will be made. I'm already at 76% of my daily quota for the cloudflare workers, so it won't be around much longer. My budget for this project was the $10 I spent on the domain.

    • ofjcihen a day ago |
      GLM deserves the ninth Guinness. It’s beautiful.

      Opened it on my phone first thing this morning and kept clicking around to find the actual content before I realized I was looking at it.

    • jordanb a day ago |
      > No attempts to monetize have been made or will be made

      I'm disappointed. A true commitment to the bit would involve a shitcoin rugpull or some attempt to frontrun the news of a crisis you manufactured.

        >> No attempts to monetize have been made or will be made

        > I'm disappointed.

        So am I.

        A true fan of the movie would have remembered the following quote: "money? ... [thinks hard for a couple of seconds and then remembers] ... I like money!"

    • socializer a day ago |
      I find it doubly absurd that we can no longer be bothered to write 1990s style absurdist satire by hand and we outsource the absurdism to an LLM.
      • Kakashi4 a day ago |
        I doubt the author would have made something worth posting (much less something that hit #1) if he had attempted to make this by hand while drinking 6 guinness
        • socializer a day ago |
          In my book, "I didn't make it, I was getting hammered instead" is really not that much of a flex.

        At first glance I thought it was cool and someone had made it by hand.

        Then certain things like hard to view content and scrolling that doesn't work made me realize it's just more vibe coded junk.

        Like what really is the point? It sounds like the owner had almost zero creative input.

      Maybe I should have sent you a Guinness last night after I saw the website.

      Ooh, instead I should vibe code a website and service that will send a Guinness to a hacker who is working on their own vibe coded service, kind of a perfect recursive circle! LLM, please write my book, "Godel, Escher, Guinness, an Eternal Dark River of Achievement".

      Immediately after completing this, I heard a knock on my door from the dark forces of Alcohol Beverage Control, they were trying to get in, along with my HR team, my copyright lawyer, and weirdly my ex-wife were all here to tell me this was a bad idea.

      As a side note, that particular model is extremely abliterated, although it's almost certainly wrong, it'll attempt to give you an entire setup plan for a meth lab if you ask it. Or something similarly naughty as a test.

      This sort of absurdist satire with the right system prompt is a near perfect use case for it since it'll happily cooperate with just about anything. And yet it's big enough to be able to write coherently and provide a reasonable answer.

      I think it scores like 0 out of 460 on a test of known "bad" prompts that most LLM will refuse.
