how to make the world an actively worse place:
redesign http so that it uses xml instead of plaintext
you're welcome
@nelson pff, we all know a Modern protocol would be based on markdown! we should just send SOUL.md instead of HTTP headers to make sure everyone's AI agents treat the page ad expected!
@pearl i actually had this super cursed idea where you'd be able to just define a "soul document", give it to an "AI powered" HTTP server, which would just hallucinate answers to requests in the spot
... don't let the techbros get a hold of this idea because they'll turn it into something real and use it for real unironically and think it's the future
(aka kemona_halftau)
@nelson seems like something specifically microsoft would do
and it would be called something like
ActiveHTTPX or whatever
@nelson noooo
@pearl a friend of mine, half of tsn, actually was fucking shocked when i casually showed her this idea to the point that i could hear her internal confusion and desperation
