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

reinventing the wheel .... after firing bunch of carriage keepers.

@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.

@misty @ricmac
How many tokens does it cost to generate this thing called "blog" from a post on X?

[dalcacer@mas.to]

@ricmac @bkastl They came full circle.

Also, they were meant, when Gordon Ramsy performed the idiot sandwich.

@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 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..."

@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...

[saxnot@chaos.social]

@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
