- bluedreamreal: oh wow, that got A LOT of traffic
- bluemaybe I *should* have written it!
- bluemvp comment: "i don’t trust a translation to a trash language with a compromised compiler"
- blueawww, that's a mean one: "We've come full circle: now we have AI-written blog posts complaining about AI-written code."
- bluethe post is NOT written by clankers, lol
- dreamrealFunny thing, too: if they wanted they could check the IRC logs and see the actual discussion that started it
- dreamrealMost of the commenters have apparently never seen what an actual SEO team will do to an article, but I'm not pointing that out
- bluehm
- bluedreamreal: why did they all decide your website is made by AI?
- dreamrealthe UX was largely generated by AI
- dreamrealbut people don't know how to analyze content structure and they look for surface things
- dreamrealand they look for signals to confirm analysis: they find one thing that sounds like an AI wrote it, and go "yep, AI, discard" without wondering anything else: they lack curiosity
- dreamrealpeople look for reasons to filter rather than reasons to accept; it's okay, the world has trained them to do so by being populated by evil and selfish idiots
- bluemhm
- bluemy question was rather, how do they *know*
- blueif I look at the website, I can't tell it was clankered
- blueof course, I know it is, but I can't tell
- dreamrealI dunno, lots of assumptions
- dreamrealI should put in a comment that says "this website was largely designed by claude and codex with a human somewhere in the loop demanding it work, good job sussing it out, holmes"
- blueor better: "it's still not illegal to clanker websites, DON'T TREAD ON ME"
- bluepreferably with a snake emoji
- dreamrealhaha

- dreamrealThe Dead covered TRAFFIC?
- blueyes
- bluesay what you will about the dead, but brett had SUCH a big soul, phew
- bluehey jude is also a british tune :P
- bluebut you know that
- dreamrealI think I had some awareness, yes
- dreamreala slight bit
- dreamrealan iota
- bluelisten well, because the transition from dear mr fantasy to hey jude has to go into the pantheon of one of the most incredible moments in music
- blueit's almost like they *knew* what they were doing
- dreamrealI love the traffic version
- blueyes
- blueit's also a very dark song, in a way
- dreamrealHey Jude broke me out of my vaguely pop-rock leanings as a kid (like, VERY young) and Dear Mr. Fantasy broke me out of twee prog rock leanings
- blue"you are the one who can make us all glad, but in doing that, you break down in tears"
- blueheh
- dreamrealYeah, it's a rough song... and when Winwood opens up the outro with "yeah, yeah..." oh man
- bluetrue
- dreamrealman, Jerry healthy....
- bluethe seamlessness of that transition
- dreamrealI haven't gotten there yet, still on traffic
- blueit's coming up
- bluethe jerry+brent years were the best, I think
- dreamrealbob weir in short shorts, woo
- * dreamreal giggles
- blueyeah, rip not long ago
- blueso, technically they're transitioning to hey jude, but brent keeps on the dear mr fantasy lines, it's incredible
- dreamrealhahahaha
- dreamrealwell then
