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

Now they’ve discovered external style sheets.
@ricmac Wait until they find out about web components

@ricmac This seems like the funny thing about AI token optimization is gives them a direct measure for good coding practices. I can't wait for them to be like "I found this awesome hack where I go deep and learn the tech so that I can give the AI better feedback. It saves so many tokens!"

@ricmac I feel like the old witch in the woods who knows all the secret spells who everyone ignores.

@ricmac Unfortunately they haven’t yet discovered the concept of a “blog” where you can store posts without paying x dot com $40 a month

@ricmac What is a 12116 token HTML article? Haha, I'm so out of the loop on this topic, and it makes so little sense to me

@ricmac @fionasboots This is the same bollock (as we say in Scotland, quaintly) all over again. The so-called "grep tax" and the cardinality of code residing within individual files contributing to filling the LLM's context window. It contributes towards "babysitting needed to get token-based generator to work" vs actual productivity. But hey! Time to make agentic automation scalable! /s
@ricmac I don't think grep deserves to have some perverse AI failure named after it! That aside, having found out what that term means, it just lends more credibility to the idea that humans and real intelligence are just better at this. LLMs are just for corporations to make money without producing any of their own value.
If you need an actual answer, as the person who wrote the code the LLM was trained on. Don't burn through tokens (in a way that isn't transparent) to come up with slop.

Unfortunately, I think the next step might be: “What if we created a virtual DOM…”
@ricmac STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS (for free)

@john.kreitlow.rocks "whoa, dude... wouldn't it, like, be strange if this was also more efficient in every other way? We couldn't be that lucky, tho. But what if..."

@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?

@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

Wow. It's such a sh*t show.
"AI" (LLM style) is really a gathering point for the clueless, who then make important self-aggrandizing noise.
@glitzersachen @ricmac it's a promise "something for nothing" and the inept are allured by it

@glitzersachen @ricmac fair point

@ricmac Agentic DOM

@ricmac this is just sad.
