   I had GLM-5.3 in OpenCode make this while I drank Guiness 3 through 8. Then I posted it to HN before bed, thinking a couple other people might get a kick out of it.

   ~250k requests and a brief stint at #1 later, and I'm amazed that my 2 RTX-4060ti's haven't collapsed under the load. The model is an abliterated version of Qwen3.6 35B running on my PC. (qwen3.6-35b-a3b-uncensored-hauhaucs-aggressive)

   So anyway, it's just a fun satirical sort of protest directed at the absurdity of it all. No attempts to monetize have been made or will be made. I'm already at 76% of my daily quota for the cloudflare workers, so it won't be around much longer. My budget for this project was the $10 I spent on the domain.

      GLM deserves the ninth Guinness. It’s beautiful.

      Opened it on my phone first thing this morning and kept clicking around to find the actual content before I realized I was looking at it.

      I'm disappointed. A true commitment to the bit would involve a shitcoin rugpull or some attempt to frontrun the news of a crisis you manufactured.

         So am I.

         A true fan of the movie would have remembered the following quote: "money? ... [thinks hard for a couple of seconds and then remembers] ... I like money!"

      I find it doubly absurd that we can no longer be bothered to write 1990s style absurdist satire by hand and we outsource the absurdism to an LLM.

         I doubt the author would have made something worth posting (much less something that hit #1) if he had attempted to make this by hand while drinking 6 guinness

            In my book, &quot;I didn&#x27;t make it, I was getting hammered instead&quot; is really not that much of a flex.

               Your book doesn’t seem very amusing.

               Yes, look at what the president of the us accomplishes, he&#x27;s our leading teetotaler. Hmm, evidence is pointing in one direction here.

         At first glance I thought it was cool and someone had made it by hand.

         Then certain things like hard to view content and scrolling that doesn&#x27;t work made me realize it&#x27;s just more vibe coded junk.

         Like what really is the point? It sounds like the owner had almost zero creative input.

      This is what I love about the agentic era the most. It gives us highly functioning alcoholics the ability to drink and work at the same time! -thisisajokeorisit-

         Not really, the Ballmer Peak always existed, agents just shift the curve upwards up by a few standard deviations.

            &gt; a few standard deviations

            I’ve been wondering recently if it’s time for someone to revisit this study to see how it holds up with agents <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2404.10002" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2404.10002

      Maybe I should have sent you a Guinness last night after I saw the website.

      Ooh, instead I should vibe code a website and service that will send a Guinness to a hacker who is working on their own vibe coded service, kind of a perfect recursive circle! LLM, please write my book, &quot;Godel, Escher, Guinness, an Eternal Dark River of Achievement&quot;.

      Immediately after completing this, I heard a knock on my door from the dark forces of Alcohol Beverage Control, they were trying to get in, along with my HR team, my copyright lawyer, and weirdly my ex-wife were all here to tell me this was a bad idea.

      As a side note, that particular model is extremely abliterated, although it&#x27;s almost certainly wrong, it&#x27;ll attempt to give you an entire setup plan for a meth lab if you ask it. Or something similarly naughty as a test.

      This sort of absurdist satire with the right system prompt is a near perfect use case for it since it&#x27;ll happily cooperate with just about anything. And yet it&#x27;s big enough to be able to write coherently and provide a reasonable answer.

      I think it scores like 0 out of 460 on a test of known &quot;bad&quot; prompts that most LLM will refuse.
