Norway has announced it plans to reopen three old gas fields in the North Sea in order to boost Europe's supply. Already the largest supplier for the EU, Oslo also proposed 70 new offshore locations for oil and gas exploration. Environmental activists accuse the government of using geopolitical tensions and conflicts like the wars in Ukraine and Iran as an excuse to continue drilling for fossil fuels despite the climate crisis

AI slop is killing online communities

Most of the communities I'm in are doing just fine, with healthy discussions, much cheer and joy (and an occassional spiral into doom and gloom, as is the nature of modern humanity). There's no AI slop in there, and it ain't killing them in any shape or form.

The trick? These communities banned AI. Not just AI slop, everything LLMs and what is today known as "AI". They took a hard stance, and it paid off.

Now, the author of this article sees their communities struggle - because like the author, those communities did not take a hard stand. On the contrary! They embraced "AI"! And with that embrace comes the slop.

Want to keep AI slop out of your communities? Enact a hard anti-LLM policy for code and for everything else too, and enforce it. It's that simple.

We really, really tried to warn you about Anthropic and Claude. All the absurd public displays of Claude subscriptions during the #quitGPT thing were a bad sign no one seems to actually understand the fundamental problem here.

Well, congrats folks. Now, Anthropic has announced it will use xAI's ultra-polluting fully fossil-fuelled, air-polluting community-choking Colossus data centre to power the computation needed for you to maintain your toxic dependency on its sycophantic sentence generator

*Elite cybercrime forums overwhelmed by slop. This is fantastic
