Where the fuck is this from?

The program is Hyperbeam: and yes it's real. I have no idea if it's a bug or not but if it isn't a bug then what the fuck. It used to be 5 seconds

Hey GPT-4 right now we have a five second timeout on this page and we’re only getting a .001% conversion. How can we change this to a 10% conversion?

[bloop de bloop AI math occurring]

Why certainly. Improving the conversion rate of a page is a matter of tweaking the right factors via AB tests to optimize the conversion rate, which is defined as the number of people who convert on a page divided by the number of visitors.

To reach a conversion rate of 10% you could set the timeout for 3600 seconds.

I also would like to know this

The fact that it says “Close in 3590s” - or an hour long popup - suggests it is fake.

Or if it’s not fake then it sure would fit in over at asshole design!
