I know that many sites are built with AI tools. So, what do you prefer? they keep on building bloated websites full of javascript and big css frameworks, or give them a chance to build lightweight pages. I’m torn on this issue

@adele I would say let AI eat itself with bloated websites full of trash. Let's try to make an actual human web that doesn't do that and let the big corps choke on their shit.

If you want I can help you out with your regexes.

@EndlessMason I grab your account for the next time I need help about that ;-)

@adele Thanks for having written this down, and pointed me to it. I understand your points, but am not sure I agree. For me, smolweb (and whatever the spelling or specific name we use) isn’t just about performance, accessibility, lightweight pages and support for older devices. It also has (should have?) a political stance. If we seek to optimise page size, combat hardware obsolescence and make content accessible, it is to address social, environmental –political– issues. The use of LLMs seems to me to run counter to these issues. Even local models strike me as a full-scale endorsement of the political agenda championed by LLM vendors and developers (an agenda that I feel to be diametrically opposed to that of the smolwebs).

That being said, sorry if I just add another item to a discussion you had multiple times.

@julienbidoret I understand your point of view. I used to spread some basic concept and to stay in this area. Sometime, imposing stricter rules exclude a part of the public that could be impacted, rejecting them. Restricting smolweb concept to people also refusing AI usage is not the way I think. Refusing AI is a different struggle (that is also legit).
