Methodology: https://ledger.worseonpurpose.com/methodology

WorseOnPurpose methodology page does not answer the question: is it claude vomit or not? Are the articles written partially or totally by AI?

Here is the creator's X profile: https://x.com/keyanasapp

Keyana Sapp appears to be an AI enthusiast generating AI content for worseonpurpose.com, which their twitter profile neither denies nor confirms.

Completely doesn't answer the AI question, nor the "who's paying for this" question. Because presumably it's not a hobbyist buying every tool, mattress, and boot in the world annually.

Nobody is buying these things to review them, it's just a guy that works in "AI Strategy" in Palantir that has a lot of money to spend on LLM tokens.

I thought you were just throwing this out there but no:

Thank you, and now I'm flagging the OP

Can you imagine being a top guy at Palantir in "AI Strategy" and this is your big move? Shows zero creativity, quality of work, just slop. I would quit if I had to work for this guy as my boss. We have better engineers who can use, productize, and monetize AI.

EDIT: wait this guy is non-tech. It actually tracks a lot more now. Not as a knock against non-tech people using AI, just that I would have been very disappointed in Palantir if they had a top AI engineer create something like this after leaving. You would assume they are more judicious about the markers they look for in hiring, but for a more salesy, soft skills role, a product like this makes perfect sense and isn't unimpressive.
