"So a lot of these companies haven't engaged in a proper feedback loop to see what the impact of AI coding is on the outcomes they care about. Lines of code, number of [pull requests], these are liabilities. These are not measures of engineering excellence."

AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming

Is this a thing? https://slop-free.org/ Anyone know of other competing things? That make the same point? Also ... is there a place yet where links to slop-free forks of major FOSS things are collected? #StopTheSlop #NoSlopFOSS #SlopBad #Slop #AI_slop #noAI

Not slop! An open label for handmade digital content

I hate listening to my (fortunately not immediate) desk neighbors vibe-planning their entire start up!

Not just because I'm afraid of secondary brain rot (which I am), but because in my mind's eye, I can see gallons of water evaporating while they prompt even the tiniest question that comes up into their abominable slop machine.

I wonder whether this would qualify my noise cancelling headphones as personal protective equipment for tax purposes?

A self-declared "vibe coder" is advertising their slop under the hashtag "privacy" on the Fediverse. 🫣

Obviously, slop machines won't teach how to read the room.

#Bandcamp is getting spammed with #AISlop. This 'artist' released 48 albums since Jan 17th '25, all AI artwork, completely bloodless synth tracks and if you listen carefully, you'll hear weird artifacts, e.g. in https://starlegacy.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-in-the-supernova at 4:35 and again at 5:08.

Shadows in the Supernova, by Star Legacy

When you see, say, a book or game promoted here, do you see the artist's name? If not, ask! Let publishers, magazines & so on know you demand human-hearted art. Artists need visibility. Please, #StopTheSlop & pay humans instead! It's not hard to find artists to engage. Here's one for starters:

What exactly do they teach at business schools these days?

Wanting to reduce a company's dependency on humans by replacing them with slop machines, which dramatically increases the company's dependency on a mere handful of other companies makes no sense, not even from a capitalist business perspective.

Unless ... of course ... you needed some fancy buzzwords to feed to eager investors. Ah, well, there we have the answer.

Good metaphor for AI slop and others using it:

"I think it's more like people admiring a uranium fragment in ancient times. Better to stay out of it and let others decay themselves by using it"

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.
