CLAUDE CODE JUST RICKROLLED ME. I’m working on a project where part of it will involve videos, and in building out the project it created a dummy page, with made up content (relevant to me!) with two video links pretending to be something else and BOTH WERE RICKROLLs.
Note: I’m using a broad definition of “programmer” to include HTML generation, and a broad definition of “humor” that includes Rickrolling. Together, I think this is appropriate for c/programmerhumor. Mods, please remove if not correct.



I very much don’t care for AI, but yeah, I posted it because an unexpected Rickroll – whether from AI or not – is still as funny as ever.
That said, I’m also aware that Mike Masnick is a recognizable name, of “Protocols, not Platforms” fame, also the person who coined the Streisand Effect, and probably most relevant, is a BlueSky board member (therefore not as interested in ActivityPub), those may be part of the downvotes too. Nevertheless, we take the rough with the smooth.
