      Listen you can whine about tech or you can start building with it.

      And by building, I mean telling it what it should do.

      And by telling it what it should do, I mean typing out what you want.

      And by telling it what you want, I mean explaining a crypto bro idea in a rant to Chat GPT.

      I mean he’s not technical but I’m sure he’s really nailed this one.

      I don’t think it’s satire. Miami has become a mecca for crypto bros and “tech” fraudsters.

        Lol. When I retire, I’m going to change all my job titles on social media to “entrepreneur” just to fuck with my friends.

          He probably paid some fishing tourist shop to get him to just the right place so he could hook it and pull it in. That pic cost him money, and it’s really important to him.

                It’s from a game called Dwarf Fortress - where you play in a simulated world trying to keep your dwarves alive.

                They get bored of eating the same food, so with farming and hunting there’s also fishing.

                In the past, carps were added with some default settings, which made them overpowered. They would wipe entire squads of Dwarves that would approach any body of water with a carp in them.

                (They were nerfed later on.)

                The game has a very complex fighting system, so when creatures fight, sometimes they fall down, after a big hit with a hammer, or getting knocked unconscious. If they are not fatally wounded, they will get back up. There’s a lot of actions that happen inside the game, but not always in the ‘correct’ context, as the game is still in development.

                And somewhere on the internet, there was a screenshot with combat log showing:

                The Carp attacks the Miner but She jumps away! The Carp stands up.

                So carps were already a challenge, and then you read they can stand up!? Imagine the terror of an army of strong beasts marching down to your fort from a nearby river.

                There were many bugs in the game, if you like rabbitholes, this is a good one.

                It does not have nerves, yet it feels pain. It does not have a mouth, yet it must scream. And until recently: death only made it so so much stronger!

    I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.

    It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

    Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.

      Any “customers” landed are going to be friends and family, if not just outright fakes invented by leo.

    I’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”

    Then proceed to do something even worse.

    If I were leojr94, I’d be mad as hell about this impersonator doling the good name of leojr94—most users probably don’t even notice the underscore.

      Just speak the incantation of motive energy and light the incense to soothe the machine spirit.
