summary

The website is a satirical project created by a user using an uncensored Qwen 35B model to mimic the aesthetic of early 2000s Geocities sites mixed with modern AI-generated bloat. It features absurd claims about 'Extra Big Ass Intelligence' and intentionally frustrating UI elements like moving ad-close buttons. The project serves as a protest against the current absurdity of the AI industry and the degradation of web design.

key points

  1. The site was generated using a modified Qwen3.6 35B model running on two RTX-4060ti GPUs.
  2. It intentionally employs 'AI slop' design patterns, such as gradient bubbles and emoji icons, to mock LLM-generated layouts.
  3. The site includes satirical elements like unclickable ads and absurd limericks to evoke the world of the movie Idiocracy.

So anyway, it's just a fun satirical sort of protest directed at the absurdity of it all. No attempts to monetize have been made or will be made. I'm already at 76% of my daily quota for the …

The creator explains the technical setup (Qwen 35B on 4060tis) and the satirical intent behind the project.
