Another (shortish) description of the state of the #sloppocalypse on YouTube by @fraser . (Also some normal Q&A.)

“AdVon's cofounder responded to questions about this story by pointedly informing us of his business and personal connections with Recurrent's CEO and the executive chairman of Recurrent's board, in what felt like an effort to hamper our reporting by implying access to a corridor of power over our jobs.”

A harrowing tale! I’m glad that they kept digging we may assume this works at least some of the time and that is why we don’t always see such stories. #sloppocalypse

Search for “Google Slides” & you may see that the first image they select for one of their flagship office softwares is... Someone’s SEO-cash-grab “custom product” spam. Plastic slippers with the Google slides icon on them? Google’s own intellectual property is being parasitized here. What chance do independent artists stand? Google doesn’t care, as long as they are paid by search spammers who, in turn, somehow think this will make money. #search #searchCrisis #AISlop #google #ai #sloppocalypse
