it is difficult to overstate what a comprehensive dunderhead Why from Bluesky, vibecoding wunderkind, formerly of various cryptocurrency projects and current neoreactionary VibeCamp habitue, truly is

@davidgerard amazing

@davidgerard impossible to overstate. There are people who couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

This guy is still trying to understand what water is, forget a boot, and might make some progress if he finally manages to develop object permanence.

@davidgerard

When I was 10 or so I was obsessed with pokemon. I dropped my Gameboy in the toilet when I was playing while peeing and then washed it off in the sink and tried to dry it on a candle.

Needless to say I completely ruined my Gameboy and felt like an idiot for years.

Seeing a full blown adult make basically the same mistake but in the other direction makes 10 year old me feel a lot better.

@rootwyrm he is pretty sure object permanence is wokeism from shitlibs

[Gast]

@davidgerard they are so deeply unintelligent, as are the people that hired and funded them, that simply being in proximity will cause severe brain damage to normal people.

I mean, these people are so utterly devoid of anything resembling sapience that they would give Elon Musk a run for his money in that department.

@davidgerard “uhm but David here’s 2 (two) videos of me dunking my phone into a small bowl of drinking water, no I won’t engage with you about how the point is that it killed the phone”

[Gast]

@davidgerard I tried stuffing some meat into the charging port of my phone, but it still ran out of battery.

I eat burgers when I need energy, why can't my phone?

@davidgerard I really take issue with Apple messaging on this, which is « hey, it’s probably fine whatever, but if that breaks that’s on you » as it touts a IP68 resistance which signals that it’s ok as long as you don’t leave it underwater too long

[Gast]

@davidgerard water cooled PCs have been a thing for years. Is dunking your phone in the pool really so different?

[Gast]

@Luk @davidgerard

Isn't that just the message to users for everything now with AI?

[Gast]

@davidgerard goddamnit David, not when I'm drinking coffee. Coffee is valuable!

[Gast]

@davidgerard I'm immediately incensed given I expect he makes at least 6x what I do.

[Gast]

@davidgerard

When I stumbled across your post just now I thought it was a joke at first.
But apparently it's not? This guy and his posts are real???

[Gast]

@davidgerard @acb very clever

[Gast]

@davidgerard i guess he's not a lucky stiff...

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@QuinnAlexis i am sorry to say

look up "Jeromy Johnson" in tech haunts for more unfettered brillance

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@jamesh did you get as far as the post after this

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@mewsleah absolutely not

[Gast]

@mewsleah @davidgerard is this why that _why?
