These people are weird. The blog post that inspired this has this weird iMessage screenshot, like a shitty investment grift facebook ad:

Apparently one of the lucky few who learned this special technique from Geoff just completed a $50k contract for $297. But that's not all! Geoff is generous to share the special secret prompt that unlocked this unbelievable success, if only we subscribe to his newsletter! "This free-for-life offer won't last forever!"

I am sceptical.

Perfect length post, perfect CSS, perfect font family.

For whatever it's worth after years of being in a space that felt very similar to this my solution was... Having a kid and / or going to Recurse Center and / or moving to a non-LA/NY city.

I don't know if any of it's causal but I have finally crossed over some kind of line. I read books again (like I ever really did), I don't think about social media, I don't have that toxic icky parasocial relationship feeling, I don't even know how to use social media UIs when I see them anymore.

Its fantastic, I'm sure writing / reading this kind of post is a good first step so bravo and welcome (back) to the resistance.

Wait does HN count as social media? Does linkedin? Does Slack ir Teams at work? Does SMS??

Unfortunately yes, yes definitely, yes & yes, and yes.

Gotta be, the skunk logo is an approximation of the real one.

Yes, if you look close, the paper is replete with error-filled generative reproductions of existing illustrations in the citations; including Fig. 6 (MC Escher struts), Fig. 7 (sprouting greeble tubes), and Fig. 8 (actuators replaced by tubes connected to mystery manifolds).

Even Fig. 2 shows the spike geometry magically changing, which is not addressed in the text and seems like an error carried over from the original illustration in the cited source.

Casts serious doubt on the credibility of the rest of the work.
