In a heroic feat of #silicon #wizardry, the YC CEO claims to birth 37K lines of #AI code daily, rivaling the #productivity of a caffeinated octopus 🐙💻. A developer dared to peek inside, only to find a Rube Goldberg machine of JS prompts begging for attention amidst a sea of ad blocker errors 🚫🖥️.

Ah yes, the age-old quest to reinvent #IRC, now with 100% more over-engineered .NET 9 spice 🤖. Why settle for simplicity when you can bury a chat server under layers of corporate buzzwords and AI integrations? 🚀🔧 It's like building a Rube Goldberg machine to fetch a cup of water—fascinating, but ultimately unnecessary. 😏💥

Way back on July 28, 2025, I had a long conversation about my games career and everything else I've been doing for the past 50 years, with my old friend Mark Holmes as part of his #CinematicDesign Community. I just uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy!

Is this amazing or what? I’m not sure how many months it took to set up, but it’s well worth a watch!

Now I'm wondering: is there a collection of contraptions and levels built for @principia to play with it around like in #TheIncredibleMachine? Sort of a #RubeGoldbergMachine, but with #DIY set to make more such levels, you know... :ablobcatwave:

Post inspired by https://mastodon.social/@256/112417780225247409 and reminiscing about mid-00s #RubeGoldberg type videogame that I can't remember the name of.

I’ve had this idea of the ActivityPub Protocol powering Mastodon, Threads, & others in The Fediverse, as a kind of Rube-Goldberg Machine.
