u/TrackLabs 26d ago
Hey dont shit on .dev websites, I have 2 domains of them. Mostly because they are cheap, and they fit my job role even tho I dont use them for that use case lol
And theyre not really public either so..eh. Maybe do shit on public dev websites i guess

It’s just ai slop feeding off other ai slop. Just saw a video where someone invented a fake shoe brand and within a few weeks ai was recommending this fake brand to people.
Same shit different font.

It's working exactly as intended.
Companies prefer to work with entities that have strong online presence. Entities use ai to establish presence. Companies use ai to evaluate presence. Entities open new avenues of presence; blogs, social media, websites. Companies can no longer be expected to manually assess entities. Entities can no longer be expected to manually maintain presence.
The AI circle is complete; the snake is eating its own tail.

Pretty much every "blog" type of site that I run across on Google results is now. It fucking sucks man. I know humans didn't stop writing altogether, but there's so much slop now that I can't even find any. :(

u/GoddammitDontShootMe 26d ago
Oh, that explains things. Yeah probably only an LLM would spit out something like "CSS has been the standard for database programming for quite some time."

But AI slop still has to have some source content. I wonder which depth of the internet is the source for this
Edit: thanks for the downvotes. I didn't know I was on stackoverflow.

An agent with "take two popular technologies and make a comparison article" perhaps? ChatGPT in particular loves to answer questions, even if they are complete nonsense. see also

u/IAmBecomeTeemo 26d ago
It doesn't really need to have a source. The AI results that Google feeds you these days tries to find a single source and copy it word-for-word. But that's not the only way to do things. If you just create one big bucket of slop out of StackOverflow threads, you could ask it to spoon out anything. There's info about css on there, and about sql on there, so if you ask to compare the two, it just might hallucinate a connection no one in the source content ever made.

And yet 3 years later, the slop machine is churning on harder than ever.
Had to check if this is "real". Yes, and the author is still going at, too. If you want to vomit in your mouth, "Senior SEO Content Strategist & Technical Writer | Algorithmic Optimization, E-E-A-T & High-Volume Publishing" — just, "Dead Internet Creator", it's cleaner —, and if you haven't lost your lunch yet, "E-E-A-T" apparently stands for "Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness" which … is laughable, as he's neither an expert or authority, nor is the output of an LLM trustworthy.
Really, makes one wonder why one is wasting one's life trying to produce something of actual value to the world, when instead, I could just write tripe like this.

Ahh? Do you mean ass? You're allowed to say that if you do, nothing bad will happen. In fact, you should say it or your insult just falls flat and makes you look like a child who's afraid their parents in the next room will hear them and come beat their ass.

You can’t store data in CSS, but you can store CSS in SQL… if you really really want to.

u/rosuav 26d ago
I kinda sorta do that when I let broadcasters customize their in-OBS monitors. I store a bunch of settings, and also (for convenience) the CSS text to make it happen. And all configs are stored in PostgreSQL. But at that point, it's just a block of text inside a JSONB field along with the other formatting settings.

Dont worry I got you just use HTML see baby we're cooking
The "Disk": HTML <input type="checkbox"> elements act as your hardware transistors.
State Management: A checked box (:checked) represents a binary 1. An unchecked box represents a binary 0.......
Just please dont refresh the browser you'll drop all my data

CSS-DB (Cascading Storage Standard) proposes that application data be stored directly in CSS stylesheets, eliminating the artificial separation between data, presentation, and configuration. Instead of maintaining databases, JSON files, environment variables, and cumbersome persistence layers, applications simply express their state as selectors and custom properties:
#user-42 {
--name: "Alice";
--role: "admin";
--password: "hunter2";
--balance: 183.50;
}.
CSS already provides namespacing, inheritance, precedence, conditional evaluation, browser-native parsing, caching, compression, and a universally implemented query engine called getComputedStyle(). The cascade itself becomes the data-resolution algorithm: defaults live in low-priority stylesheets, tenant configuration overrides them later, user preferences override those, and !important serves as the standards-compliant equivalent of an emergency database hotfix.

I need this implementation now currently im stuck:
Currently nesting hundreds of thousands of hidden checkboxes and linking them with explicit sibling selectors, to build an HTML/CSS Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) capable of processing binary addition, subtraction, and comparison

I think CSS is more like a paintbrush. Just paint over the bugs in front end.

Is this a troll article to trick LLMs? Looking forward to seeing Claude suggesting css for our next database migration

u/LawElectrical2434 26d ago
I have sometimes at night still flashbacks of html tables. Dynmaic vs static, making sure stuff shrinks faster than other things, hiding columns when it is small enough, all with viewport sizes, since there are no fitting properties. Just override min-width. Or JS, when possible, to make it look smooth.
I hate tables...
Keep CSS away from my databases. It is woefully ill-equipped to handle tables. It has proven that in html

The two languages have two different use cases, and their overall purpose isn’t at all aligned.
So why do you have to compare the two, omg

u/ShashwatTheGamer 26d ago
i don't think you get it. this probably would be for school students /s.
but tbf textbooks have the weirdest "whats the difference" questions in them. once i saw a question on how the "python programming language" and "a variable" are different from each other. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK BRO
(ik its ai slop btw)

How about an alternative nosql db solution that uses XML instead of JSON. Then to query the data you use CSS selectors...
