Why?

How do you do that in a mesh?


A VPN?

A wireguard tunnel from every router to every other router. Software defined network stack.

It's ironic, because the site has all the hallmarks of an LLM generated website.

Oh, I 100% acknowledge the site itself was LLM generated. I'm not a web designer, so I needed a lot of help making a visually appealing site, even if that design language is at this point LLM trope.

However, the essay and the guidelines were all human-written!


by "human-written" do you mean you just used LLM to help the grammar and spelling and formatting and to think up some use cases but its entirely "my own words"?

Hits you in the first row of buttons with the classic gen-AI slop "Why It Matters".

So trace* through ninerealmlabs and ahgraber and sure enough:

  I used AI:
  - to help build this website.
  - to help generate examples of sloppypasta
    based on my original guidance
  - to proofread and review the human-written
    copy to provide a critical review
  - to improve my arguments and ensure clarity.
Kudos for being forthright.

I talked myself in circles on that "why it matters" heading but ultimately couldn't come up with a better one. "The problem" has similar ai-slop feel, and "the rant" // "the rules" didn't really evoke the feeling I wanted.

Happy to take suggestions on this!


No, not just that heading, but also the obsession with comparison tables.

I believe you, but the AI-looking website makes me default to thinking that the text itself is AI generated

It's not difficult to create a visually appealing website. You don't have to be a designer. Many of us here aren't designers and have beautiful sites. Have you tried doing it yourself?

You need to make it look more like Grugbrain dev: https://grugbrain.dev/

Authentic human brutalism =)


This entire post is very avant garde. AI slop about how it's rude to share AI slop posted on an AI slopsite. Very well done.

Credit to you for your candor!

I'm possibly too jaded / cynical already...


As an alternative to LLMs, you can just download ready made themes off the internet, or there's a bajillion site creators with premade themes.


I think Claude Code's frontend design is quite a fan of serif fonts from what I've seen in the past.

They did disclose AI usage which is good: https://github.com/ahgraber/stopsloppypasta?tab=readme-ov-fi...



I need to learn this skill of producing nothing and pretending I have. It seems to be very rewarding, financially speaking.

In general getting EU grants is very lucrative. It takes some relationships and writing skill but in the end you never have to deliver any results (beyond maybe a report that no one ever reads)

Really, just lack shame and sell something you do not have and bet that you can get it before anyone really presses too hard. It's an incredible thing to see.

But I'd think I'd get in trouble for not delivering it

You need to know the right people in Brussels/Washington, to milk and scam the taxpayer in your favor.

Should have gotten an MBA instead of a BS.

But I thought getting an MBA _was_ BS!

They list a bunch of companies under the heading "All these companies work with the same technology" on their landing page. I think it's quite scummy, and very non-impressive when you see it.

LibreOffice came from OpenOffice which was StarOffice which was developed in Germany.

> the most likely to vote

Well... who's fault is that.


It's because election day is a weekday and the rest of us have to keep up with the grind. It's entirely because they don't have jobs

It's been this way for 100+ years (probably much longer) and people found a way to vote. It's easier than ever in most places today, with early voting, mail-in voting, whatever other options are available.

In some states it’s easier now; in some it’s much harder.

Early voting exists in many states. Even in these states you’ll find that younger folks hardly vote.

That’s worth about $5

For the curious:

> Microsoft provides two frameworks for developing Windows applications: MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) and Win32. MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) is a Microsoft framework for developing Windows applications in the C++ programming language. Win32 is a collection of functions and data structures provided by Microsoft for the development of Windows applications. [0]

That's old info. Now there is also .NET Framework, .NET (Core), C++/WinRT and more. In the end all of them use either pure Win32 APIs or COM APIs including MFC.

I think that's exactly what OP meant.
