There’s another way?

Surely it has to be “Boulder McBoulderface”?

I was going to suggest just this! I love Boaty McBoatface.

But as a resident of the Chicago area, I’m partial to Da Rock

Can have the best of both worlds.

Da Rocky McRockface

Rocky McRockface is the perfect name and gets my vote.

Came here with that same name in mind. It would be a stone cold crime if that wasn't picked.

Gneiss!

Missed opportunity to call it "Rocky Bouldoa"

That would be a slam dunk winner if it was the airport in Philadelphia.

I wonder if there'll be an episode of Hello Internet on it.

I think this is the only valid name

Apologies for the typo. I’ve asked mods to fix it.

Looks like it’s been fixed. Thanks.

I wonder how this works for code generation as opposed to general text generation?

There's some more here [0] and here [1].

I’ve been referring to it as “Dunning-Kruger As A Service” for quite some time. Interesting that other folks are coming to the same conclusion.

There’s a subtlety here, tho. It doesn’t mean (at all) that’s it useless. Just that those who don’t know what they’re doing are going to be amplifying their incompetence.

I’ve had some pretty good results with Claude Code over the last 18 months or so, and “agentic engineering” (as opposed to “vibe coding”) is now very tightly integrated into my workflow. But it’s pretty easy to see how it can devolve to Dunning-Krueger-as-a-service if you don’t know what you’re doing. Which sadly appears to be the case far more often than it’s not right now.

I know this is controversial, and imperfect, but the longer this crap continues the more right I feel about this as a solution:

What if we taxed advertising? https://matthewsinclair.com/blog/0177-what-if-we-taxed-adver...

It would have to be an incredibly tiny tax, no?

Now we’re into a conversation about degree, and not principle. Yes, it could be small, applied like a sales tax a percentage of the spend on advertising. The idea would be to create a price disincentive to do it. Ultimately, it’s a form of digital pollution, so the less we have of it the better (in my view).

The enshitification will continue until morale improves.

As an Aussie, it’s always amused me that we managed to name a public swimming pool after a Prime Minister who (at least as the official story goes) died whilst swimming.
