Curious find of the day: the AI community on X has seemingly re-discovered the World Wide Web, in that it now favours HTML over Markdown for “agents to communicate with us”: https://x

@ricmac @cassidy this week i literally found a website that had a full blown photo gallery entirely as base64 encoded images. the entire website was a single html many megabytes in size.

@fionasboots @glitzersachen @ricmac “from the best programmers in the world” if only. What do one get when training the stuff on stack overflow and mediocre enterprise rest applications?

[rolf_b_lh@muenster.im]

@ricmac But it seems he learned something Form the AI...

@ricmac we gotta laugh at AI-bros today because perhaps tomorrow they will be gone just like NFT

we can't postpone our laughter and ridicule

[saxnot@chaos.social]

@mikalai @pikesley @ricmac this is so funny

[saxnot@chaos.social]

@glitzersachen @ricmac it's a promise "something for nothing" and the inept are allured by it

[fionasboots@tech.lgbt]

@rotnroll666

@ricmac What's next? Discovering coding?

[clickhere@mastodon.ie]

@ricmac I don't know the first thing about computer science, and even *I'm* here muttering "jesus fucking christ" to myself..

Wow.

@ricmac this guy's a genius and deserves another $100k/yr raise.

@ricmac "What if we create a special well-defined language, based on symbols and English keywords, to interact with LLM that avoids the ambiguity of natural language and allows to separate code from data?"

[mit_scharf@social.anoxinon.de]

@iain 🤯 no way is this real ? This amazes my an leaves me in wonder

[djno@mastodon.maymundere.org]

@ricmac no way these people are real they have to be chatbots just made to farm engagement

[xinit@mastodon.coffee]

@ricmac

@zzt burning tokens to make HTML.

I feel like they'd be better off not inhaling the fumes from those token fires.
