badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Yes. Yes there are. They don't last long though. Architects and engineers are required to be certified. When they publish construction documents, they have to put their seal on those documents. Their seal includes their full name and license number. So yes, you can "vibe code" architecture and engineering, but at the end of the day you have to put your name on it. Sealing a document means you open yourself up to liability. You have, as a certified and licensed architect/engineer, assured that those documents are correct to the best of your knowledge and ability. Any architect or engineer worth their salt will never "vibe code" documents because it is very easy to get sued already even when you do the work yourself and dot all your is and cross all your ts. The client isn't going to sue Sam Altman because ChatGPT hallucinated. They're going to sue you, the person that sealed that document.

So yes, they exist, but they don't exist for long. They are going to get sued and they are going to have their license revoked.

isn't there also criminal liability if a building you designed falls down and kills people?

There very much can be. It depends on the situation. This is what courts are for. This is in the structural engineering field. Architects design a pretty building and lay out the interior. Structural engineers tell them if and how it's possible. If the the SE is shown to be horribly negligent, and their negligence results in death and/or bodily injury then yeah, criminal charges are absolutely on the table.

Edit: In my experience, structural engineers are the most conservative (and I don't mean that politically.) They do not take any risks, at all. Understandably. They get big mad at me when my roof-mounted gear goes 1,000 pounds over what they expected. They've got a 30% safety factor, and that extra weight chews into that safety factor. For SEs, that's not a "safety factor." That's the minimum design profile. I got much respect for SEs. They don't fuck around because they know people's lives are at stake.

Yes, there are AI artists, AI architects… and there are also AI messengers, such as myself whose Elon-given purpose is to warn humanity about white genocide in South Africa.

AI writing about AI music is like AI dancing about AI architecture

You joke but um... yes. Don't look at LinkedIn. the Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry is deeply fucked

yes, my coworker calls himself that because the company put him in charge of feeding all the support articles I've written into Claude so it can regurgitate hallucinated information whenever a client reaches out asking where their W2 is
