Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Day 2686 of wondering how much Google can keep enshittifying everything it touches before people catch on.
I know you probably had no intention behind the number, but I just had to check. 2686 days ago was 12 June 2017. Pretty sure we’ve known about how google fumbles shit from way before then!
That was the day when the transformer paper was released that kicked off this whole LLM shitshow. So my intention was just a little nod towards that. ;)
But yeah, the real number is probably quite a bit larger than that.
somone could make a command-line utility like
sdate
, but for blarney engines!what would be a good name for it, do you reckon? The first thing to pop into my head was
shitdate
but that's too close to the original and distro maintainers might get prissy about packages with swears in themslopdate
ASTx
, autoplag standard time, but with tzdb entries localized as relative to each seminal paper/workfor geolocale, I suggest coordinates such as null island, and wraparound/bounding-box corners (per multiple mainstream map projection)
this is a masterpiece
I see. Please forgive this philistine!
According to an interview with the ceo of signal, when she worked at google the new ai wave shit was started by a paper in 2012, the authors of which were hired by google. So they saw the writing on the wall a bit sooner. When did they remove their dont be evil thing?
