    There was this audio book thing we used to have when I was in kindergarten. It was about farm animals, and each animal had its own sound effects. Pigs had the sound effect of a man saying the phrase “sloppity sloppity sloppity slop, sloppity sloppity sloppity slop”.

    This is now my mantra whenever I see AI slop.

    Maybe we should start chanting it en masse at these tech conventions any time AI is being discussed as anything more than a massive waste of resources.

    arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature.

    So the bubble has reached the desperation phase already?

      Absolutely blows my mind at how much up their own asses they are to smell those farts.

      They keep creating tools to create images, video, text, content. They’re replacing people with machines. Sure, this can have tangible benefits in some roles, especially dangerous ones, but they aren’t doing that. What in satan’s fuck is left in life if we don’t get to create, to build, to have purpose? Did they all collectively watch Wall-E and get the wrong message?

      I always come back to that one scene in Star Trek: Insurrection:

      Sojef: Our technological abilities are not apparent because we have chosen not to employ them in our daily lives. We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man.

      While in that context, they took it a bit to the extreme, it is still poignant.

      It seems the timeline right now is Office Space -> Wall-E -> Idiocracy -> Mad Max.

    “We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature.

    I’m starting to notice a recent trend in tech CEOs. They seem to be saying “yes, we know you hate it but too bad get used to it”.

      That’s definitely not a modern trend. That’s what they always say when people don’t like their decisions. Unless there’s a board of directors with their hand up the CEO’s ass parroting the appology for them, they will never admit wrongdoing.

      They’re narcissistic pieces of shit. All of them.

      Yup. First they give the middle finger to their customers, then they do it to their investors. Because who is punishing them?
