So Sam Altman's response to concerns about the wastefulness of his company's technology is basically "Well, raising humans consumes a lot of energy too!"
Either he has finally fried his own brain with his slop machine or he doesn't even bother any more to hide the degrading, dehumanizing, and despicable mindset that fuels the industry he's in.
Either way, those people shouldn't wield any power in the real world, where the rest of us 'dispensable humans' dwell.

The dislike for slop machines runs deep among you good people of the Fediverse.
One more reason why I love this place!

I wish people would stop using the "but there are legitimate use cases" argument to recommend some slop machine to me.
I won't use it! I will stop listening to them! I won't even listen to anything else they might have to say unless they are able to make a convincing case how Slop-enAI (and its ilk) will ever stop roasting the planet, rotting our brains, and burning money in any other way than by going bankrupt.
I'm so exhausted by the Slop Mania!

Spätestens jetzt sollte doch das Rasenbetretungsverbot passé sein? Bahnsteigkarten-Schwarzfahren, olé-olé?
"Nimmt Elon uns die Schüssel,
hau'n wir ihm auf den Rüssel"? Anybody...?! 🤨
I'll pitch you a new reality show: "Tech's New Slop Models".
We gather a few ambitious LLM bros in a house and let them compete for the most over-the-top application of their beloved slop machines (so, basically what they're already doing all the time).
The winner - in the truest futurist tech bro fashion - get's a one way ticket to Mars, departure immediately.
Would you watch it? Maybe just the finale?

Today in "Stories from a Coworking-Space":
The LLM bros a few tables away from mine are talking about the business plan for their 'revolutionary' slop machine.
One of them keeps saying 'market infestation' when talking about the market share they're dreaming of.
I don't think that he chose this particular wording as a result of critical deliberations. I think he likes it because it sounds aggressive.
But I also think 'infestation' describes the slop madness beautifully.

Assitarians Unite! :epic_handshake: 🤣
404 media has the scoop on the disasterous RFK Jr. chatbot rollout
As someone who has been living in Austria all his life, I feel compelled to sincerely apologize for the latest, apparently vibe-coded slop machine security disaster 'made in Austria'. 🙄
For some context, just type 'OpenClaw' into the web search engine of your choice (and ignore all the usual LLM hype content).

This has been said a lot, but it has to be said again:
Please stop calling slop machines 'artificial intelligence'!
It is a marketing term. By framing those machines as intelligent, the companies building them are trying to make us believe that their products are more than stolen data, wasteful hardware, and statistics. But they are not!
We have to educate people what those machines really are, and that starts with taking away the false mystery created by advertising!

looking for this...
GLOBAL CONFIG OPTION
USE_AI_FEATURES = "false"
Thought for the day:
If you can't do it without AI, maybe you shouldn't do it.
Usually whenever I voice a critical view of LLMs, someone swoops in and tries to debate me with some variation of "But you're using a computer, right? What's the difference? Doesn't your computer make you stupid too?!"
Well, my sweet wannabe tech bro, let me tell you. One of the many differences is that I'm spending countless hours to learn how those computers work and how to use them according to my rules. Try that with your Big Tech LLM - if you still can without asking it.

Each time I hear someone say "We have to get people ready for AI [sic!], it's the future!", what I really hear is "We have to prepare people for lobotomies at scale and in the most destructive way for the environment and our society!"

When someone says "I've used powerpoint AI for my slides"
I hear "I don't care enough about either you, myself, my topic or the implications of giving predatory corporations the power to shape our thinking and communication".
@brettezeleliquide tatsächlich bin ich auch hier wieder auf ki-shice reingefallen. 🤬🤢
