poor openid

People occasionally discuss OpenID at work and sometimes I'm CC'ed, I guess 'cause I know Brad. (Personally, I think any sort of Google hook-in to OpenID is a security disaster because of phishing, but I'm not deciding policy, just volunteering opinions.)

I bring this up to mention a strange highlight: in the course of one of these discussions, someone unironically linked to this strange gem of a post which, as far as I can tell, was generated by some dadadodo-like language model trained on "identity2.0"-speak -- a sort of Sokal hoax on the tech world. But apparently some people get something out of it?
