@ruth_lowry @BuyFromEU Part of #EuroChic v #AmeriSlop is that for products like these EuroChic is made by skilled artesans who have human rights, 5 weeks of paid holidays and good wages.
@aphclarkson.bsky.social Aside from everything else, what I find most off-putting about AI is the stultifying ugliness of it all. The slop (its commercial output, rather than the math input) is the product of a culture raised on urban sprawl and hydrogenated fats and it shows.
At least the glazed-eyed, 17th century trust-me-bro Dutch junkies could invoke being mesmerised by the aesthetic. #EuroChic v. #AmeriSlop
@65dBnoise Extremely #EuroChic v. #AmeriSlop coded that they went with the pOrNo argument, lol. The American brain cannot conceive of anything more scandalous than an exposed female nipple. OK, not having tech giants built on the premise of extractive algos and chatbots that flirt with 8-yr-olds is on us, but it's a very American straw to clutch. This was the 1st @EUCommission video to hit 1 million views in the early days of YouTube and YT freaked out and took it down.
