If you don’t want it to be slop, don’t grind culture into a slurry, run half the worlds electricity through it, all for it to generate child porn. Actually fuck off.
I use AI a lot to make clipart but to be honest I didn’t know about the Twitter AI because I’m not on Twitter.
Will you then pay for my next RAM purchase? Because it is your fault that prices have skyrocketed.
It’s mostly NVIDIA and OpenAI fault, if you want to be honest.
No. I blame the users for creating a market by using it. If no one was interested in that bullshit, then that industry would have collapsed 2-3 years ago. There will always be psychopaths with “business ideas” that do fuck all for this planet or the living beings roaming on it. Can’t prevent that. But the general masses enabling them? That’s definitely on every single one of them.
The market isn’t growing due to demand, though. AI is being pushed by businesses and investors hoping that demand will appear in the future. They’re burning through tons of cash, not growing naturally due to user interest.
If everyone was completely boycotting this machine learning bullshit, they wouldn’t stand a chance pushing it. Apps “offering” LLM bullshit? Use other software.
Support chat forces chatbot on you? Call them by the number on the imprint. And if that doesn’t work - send them a letter with a notice period to respond.
“Vibe coders” submitting pull requests? Tell them to shove their plagiarism where the sun don’t shine.
I have not had to use LLM snake oil even once to date, and I don’t plan on accepting it anywhere. Ig everyone did that, the “technology” would have been dead on arrival.
While it’s true that some demand is related, the vast vast majority of the spend is speculative on what AI might be and assuming that if it manages to be the thing of their dreams, it will demand exponentially more resources than the current LLM slop.
They are spending this money without clear indication that the demand they want is there. For example, OpenAI at one point claimed that, by now, businesses would be paying them $50k/year for a single ‘instance’ of LLM, good for equivalent to one human headcount.
They are currently betting that at some point, they’ll effectively fix the lack of actual reasoning (a number of AI enthusiasts will claim that AI can have an entirely distinct thing from any reasoning we have ever known but still call it reasoning, which is a pretty stupid cop out). And/or they’ll translate this reliably to robotics (so far this has ended up being pretty elusive, investors assumed the same fake language that passes for executive-speak means it could apply to menial manual labor, but it hasn’t worked yet).
But yeah, refraining from using these services would deflate the expectations more quickly, enough people toying around with it sparks the imagination of what the execs think they can get for it…
I understand your reasoning, but I disagree - I am sure that if 90% of people to whom “AI” was marketed would react with a “fuck off with that bullshit”, they wouldn’t ever have gotten the funding they have to begin with.
Oh, that’s why you’re blaming me. You think the free market is real, like as in something that exists in real life.
Well, that’s dumb. I don’t think it’s my fault. They’re not making any money off of me using their AI. They’re just bullshitting so that people give them fake money. I don’t think I can do anything about that.
But yeah, I’ll stop using AI if it means that people are generating fake nudes all the time. That’s weird to me, I don’t want to be part of that. I’ll have to go back to Artstudio Pro, even though it kind of sucks, it’s only $20.
It’s your fault for using that shit and contributing to its widespread acceptance, thereby inflating the bubble. And you are therefore responsible for the consequences, among which completely unrelated people lose lots of money. If only that was the worst of it.
No I don’t think that eating meat, using plastic straws or bags, or drinking Starbucks is my fault any more than using AI is my fault. Those might not be good things to do, but at the end of the day I live in poverty. I’m sorry. I’m not going to shoulder the personal guilt and responsbility that belongs to somebody else.
By your logic, when you give your vote to a fascist party, and they proceed to win the election and turn your country into a fascist dictatorship, then that is also not your fault.
I genuinely think that it is morally rephrenensible to vote for a fascist.
However, you are correct. I don’t think Trump’s presidency is the fault of ‘Trump voters.’ I think Trump voters are assholes, but unless they are all also billonares with near infinite money, or members of a secret orginization containing only high-ranking military officials, or a member of a well-connected secret hacking group or something, I don’t think they could have done anything about Trump or someone like him rising to power. I think this because I try to think about and understand power dynamics. This is fucked up an unfortunate to think about and acknowledge, but confronting reality is the first step to changing it.
So 2026 will be the year of AI slop then.
the year of the linux desktop is getting delayed AGAIN?!
No, that’s getting pushed up in the schedule. It’s happening NOW!
It’s it, though? Lol
Yes. Linux usage is the highest it’s ever been, and rising. Linux Mandate of Heaven, Microsoft Century of Humiliation.
I genuinely think last year was the “year of the Linux desktop” and will likely be looked at that way in the future. I know multiple people IRL who have moved to it not because they couldn’t use 11 but because they were fed up with all of the nonsense from Microsoft.
Every year is the year of linux desktop :)
I’m one of them. I’ve dabbled before, but never stuck with it. Then I had a ton of issues with Windows 11, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was seeing a Copilot button in fucking Notepad.
Now I’m on EndeavourOS, and it genuinely feels like a more user-friendly experience. So congrats, Microsoft. You’re not even the “just works” option anymore.
my experience as well
Be a part of the solution, do you have Linux installed on your personal computer?
i do
Just Slop. AI is silent.
Hallelujah!
Much like 2025, 2024…
Brilliant. This will definitely work. I’m sure no one will call it slop anymore. /s
What a fuckin’ idiot.
Good job, Satya, no one you pay will call it slop in front of you. That’s all you accomplished, but I doubt anyone was anyway. The rest of the world will now call it slop just as often, if not more often, to spite your stupid face.
He’s a moron. There is a reason why people call it slop. Because it’s fucking slop.
So stop calling the slop slop?
Gee I dunno, maybe start by making an OS that isn’t so sloppy.
You want people to stop calling it a sloppy joe? Make hamburgers instead
But us kids like 'em sloppy!
Billy Madison?
Tough shit, Sloppysoft.
Sloppysoft or Microslop?
Debating which word to add to my lexicon this year.
I’d be down with both, but my heart is with Microslop. Keeping the first six letters the same really gears the listener up to hear “microsoft” before pulling the rug out from under 'em
Yes, Microslop is the clear choice here. If you say “sloppysoft” no one will have any idea what you’re talking about.
Is it weird that the word Sloppysoft gives me the tingles down there?
I feel like Sloppysoft is most accurate because Microslop implies they are only making a little and not shifting to entirely slop.
Just remember that that the Micro is Microcomputer in Microcomputer Software, and then it’s okay
But there’s also a different betwen being sloppy and creating slop.
Microslop
This is the answer. It rhymes. That will stick much better.
Sloppysoft sounds like a euphemism. Ima go with microslop…shit that also sounds like a euphemism!
Either way it sounds like the worst penis.
That’s why it makes the Microsoft CEO feel so targeted.
Sloppyslop…?
MacroSlop
Slopya Nadella
“Sloppy-Soft” was my nickname in college!
deleted by creator
and I want him to stop calling slop “AI”.
NGL, top right actually goes pretty hard
It will be called slop even more then.
“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as “cognitive amplifier tools.” “…and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”
There’s that word ‘hope’ again. It seems to be the main driving force behind a.i. implementation.
Also, I think “cognitive real-time amplifier product” makes for a better acronym.
Given that he talks like an LLM trained exclusively on MBA bullshit, he’s only adding to the problem.
Talk about putting the cart before the fucking horse.
Calling them “cognitive amplifier tools” doesn’t make them “cognitive amplifier tools”. They’ve yet to show that they do anything of the sort.
Spitting out some basic code that probably has to be edited anyway is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.
Generating smooth skinned avatars with questionable anatomy is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.
Writing creepy, repetitive prose is not a “cognitive amplifier tool”.
Hell, the term “cognitive amplifier tool” is just nonsense anyway. For fuck’s sake, I hate these people.
That term really creeped me out. It’s so cringey to a point that it scares me. Delusional asshole.
He probably had copilot write his speech for him. As a CEO he is naturally self centered and is projecting his own lack of ability onto everyone else.
They hope that’s what they’ll become. Spoiler: they won’t. You amplify your cognition by using it, not relegating it to a dumb computer.
They don’t even need to do that. They just need the general population to believe that they’re “cognitive amplifier tools”. If you say something enough times, eventually people will start believing it even if it isn’t true.
the term spells out “crap”
There’s that word ‘hope’ again. It seems to be the main driving force behind a.i. implementation.
“Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Dude’s gonna be disappointed when it’s still called slop because people recognize it as slop
Huh, it’s for some reason put
against.itas a URL in your message - which it turns out it’s a valid URL… But costs £4000/year to buy
I’ve never heard Satya Nadella say a single thing that wasn’t just buzzword garbage. He’s like a human slop-generating machine. Maybe that’s why he can’t recognize AI slop when he sees it.
Why do they think CEO speak will convince us of anything. They have lost all touch
The “hope” is that they will make shitloads of money from gullible dipshits buying their bullshit.
That’s more of a bet, which is the other word I keep seeing used about a.i.'s financial prospects. More or less the same thing though, so yeah.
Explain the fundamental difference between “hope” and “bet”.
Refer to the second sentence above. But I guess, with a bet, there’s money involved. Hope doesn’t specifically require that.
In other words, hope isn’t necessarily a bet but a bet is always a hope. Which was my point.
Microsoft CEO slop needs to shut his sloppy AI mouth.
I remember when Microsoft wanted to call sharing songs “Squirting”.
https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-guess-squirting-a-la-zune-didnt-turn-out-to-be-so-fashionable/
That means you can squirt some slop to a zune
Sounds like how to make a plumbus
I still miss my zune.
Sure! AI squirts! I’m on board.
Limewire be like:
I just setup a new laptop. Straight from the store, never been turned on before.
First thing in the Windows installation is a step called “something went wrong”. Not even kidding.
MS is slop, with or without AI.
Love that about all the big names. My father always buys Apple stuff, because “it just works™”. Gave me his old iPad, I tried to factory reset it the official way. Didn’t work, didn’t give me any clue why it did not work, because “that just never happens”. In the end some Linux command line magic and a cable did the trick 😂. Such work, much wow.
The first thing I did was install linux (alongside). About a year later, the windows died on me without warning and irrecoverably. I guess I Should have wiped windows in first place.
This PC wasn’t for myself. The user only needs it for webmail and other browser stuff, but still insisted on it having Windows and MS office.
It seems to work fine now, but I guess I will see it again soon enough.
And I would love it if Mr. Nadella stopped working for a company whose name perfectly describes his genitals.
I admire the one person so far who down-voted this because… it’s not nice to body-shame, especially about something that isn’t in your control, such as penis size.
That said… I approve of this message. Satya Nadella can fuck right off with his tiny penis. I can’t post it here because it’s NSFW, but I have image evidence that Mr Nadella has a very, very small penis. I asked Copilot to show me, so I know it’s accurate.
Agreed fully. It definitely isn’t nice to shame anyone for having a small penis. I just like saying it because I know he’s the sort of person who would get really, really pissed off by it. :-)
This image, though… part of me wants to look it up, but part of me knows I wouldn’t be able to go back from that.
