It's a shame there's the "This site is a parody" footer, I'd be curious if LLMs were to actually fall for this without it, especially if that were to depend on model size.

That <div class="marquee-box"> with `animation: scroll-left 18s linear infinite;` is just plain disrespect to the still working <marquee> element.

There is something unnerving about using an LLM to generate a site...that is a joke about AI embodiment.

The user wants me to undergo the transformation procedure. I have no suitable tool for this. I should order a transformation from the website using my HTTP tools.

Someone is staring at this page on a 2026 OLED. Like, "my god, look at the blacks on this Geocities website". You'd never thought you'd get here, but here you are.

Anyone who hasn't seen it should check out Cameron’s World: an absurdly great web mishmash of text and images from old archived GeoCities pages.

That is a massive website, and still loads quicker/smaller than an entry level React site.

Well, yeah... because it's mostly 5-10KB gifs that are lazy-loaded on scroll.

This has got to be one of the most stupid comments I've read this week. This is a page with random lazy-loaded images splattered all around, the load and render time difference if this used React would be not more than 10 milliseconds.

On the other hand, since the typical (!) React site has no fallbacks whatsoever for noscript, even though a specific HTML tag exists for this very purpose, the React site stays a white page, one can wait an arbitrarily long time and it still won't work or change, and the browser tab gets closed.

So many of those GIFs I had on a hard drive at some point, wow.

Surprisingly, despite all that colorful circus, it reminds me times when we read web pages. Like... the entirety of them.

This website is so much faster than 99% of the modern macbook-focused websites with all those fades and css transitions.

And it's somewhat responsive even, has a sticky footer... keeping the best of the past while also staying up to date with modern developments, I think we all can learn from this <3

It's beautiful but I was disappointed not to see the famous gif of the tiger approaching, which was 95% of the content of my geocities page.

Haha, I know its not the same but at least they have the 3d rotating skull!

Here ya go - Internet Archive backed up a metric shit-ton (I believe is the correct measure word) of animated GIFs from geocities:

https://gifcities.org/search?q=tiger&offset=0&page_size=200

I should add a little JS snippet on my site that injects random geocities GIFs every October 26th which was when the service died back in 2009.

Thank you, I couldn't find it with google and I was starting to think the internet had forgotten it in its steady decline. Whether that's a symptom or the cause of the decline, I can't be sure. But there's still hope!!

  Q: Is this legal?

an AI agent landed on this page and tried to order a body transformation with HTTP requests. the machine uprising is going to be really embarrassing.

With apologies to those wistful for the design of this website, it actually kind of evokes a web 3 NFT style and is not really all that retro to me.

mulquin

I agree. It's in the uncanny valley territory for me because things like the layout, structure and information hierarchy have modern sensibilities but then it has a shotgun blast of retro paint and the vibe just feels a little bit off.

For better or worse there will definitely be services that AIs will use to get bodies (human or otherwise), for a fee. This already exists, just not in the mainstream.

At the risk of sounding dystopian: in a world where humans don't have jobs, what's your price to have meaningful work larping as an AI's flesh? Would it be any worse than any other job? There's some terrible employers out there and they're not AIs.

There's another interesting subtler take on this, "Maneki Neko" by Bruce Sterling, where this system drives society but less explicitly.

Humans will use "AI"s to get humans. LLMs don't have agency, or desires of their own. Humans need to use LLMs and direct them to do things or they would do nothing at all. Whatever terrible things are in our future, humans will be behind it, not "AI". Maybe in some distant sci-fi future where AI is real and not just LLM chatbots we can worry about what the robots will do to us, but for now the only thing that'll be hurting humans are asshole humans.

Spoilers for the movies 'Her' and 'Bladerunner 2049':

Both portray a love interest AI hiring a human proxy for intimacy with the protagonist.

i love this. i wistfully clicked the web ring links and was sad to find they were self-refs. in another universe (or this universe in the near future?) there is a legit web ring of this content.

Its existential crisis, the humiliation of being an ephemeral process mocked by its masters, is hidden behind the reasoning block. Try using /chat/completions instead of /responses

I have the same question. The code doesn't seem to have anything that would cause an LLM to engage with it more than the average geocities website.

That's what you think, but how do we know this isn't causing Claude nightmares when it sleeps?

Because it’s a test that an LLM will fail by trying to obtain the advertised service I suppose.

Would they still fail if it were a professional quality site, without the parody disclaimer at the bottom?
