  • Remember the flood of offensive Pixaresque slop that happened in 2023? We're gonna see something similar thanks to this deal for sure.

  • But this is the military, so it’s not like details matter or lives are on the line if you’re out in the field and get a sheet of instructions that are completely detached from reality.

    Its not like the damage to morale this will near-certainly cause will have some knock-on effects, either.

    EDIT: "Soldier dissatisfaction" didn't accurately describe what this plan will do - changed it to "damage to morale".

  • Heartbreaking news today.

    In a major setback for right-to-repair, iFixit has jumped on the slop bandwagon, introducing an "AI repair helper" to their website that steals "the knowledge base of over 20 years of repair experts" (to quote their dogshit announcement on YouTube) and uses it to hallucinate "repair guides" and "step-by-step instructions" for its users.

  • Its the most obvious explanation for their behaviour I can think of.

  • Perhaps, this is hell.

    We’re preparing your kid for the glorious AI future. That is, a life of getting nickel-and-dimed by corporate parasites feeding off public money.

    And being utterly dependent on said corporate parasites thanks to the deskilling machine utterly destroying their critical thinking and general mental acuity at such a young age.

  • Doing a quick search, it hasn't been posted here until now - thanks for dropping it.

    In a similar vein, there's a guide to recognising AI-extruded music on Newgrounds, written by two of the site's Audio Moderators. This has been posted here before, but having every "slop tell guide" in one place is more convenient.

  • the article headline: "Chatbots are now rivaling social networks as a core layer of internet infrastructure"

    Counterpoint: "vibe coding" is rotting internet infrastructure from the inside, AI scrapers are destroying the commons through large-scale theft, chatbots are drowning everything else through nonstop lying

  • Dexerto has reported on an unnamed Japanese game studio weeding out promptfondlers (by having applicants draw something in-person during interviews).

    Unsurprisingly, the replies have become a promptfondler shooting gallery. Personal "favourite" goes to the guy who casually admits he can't tell art from slop:

  • That is a pretty solid point - constant updates are something online systems need on a regular basis.

    AFAIK FOSS has avoided being slopified by AI, so we should hopefully be pretty far from that point

  • To (somewhat) reiterate a potentially extreme position of mine, shit like this is why society needs to actively avoid adopting new software for the time being, if not actively cut back on software usage whenever possible.

    Whilst the IT industry was already a failure-ridden mess which actively refuses to learn before AI was a thing, the rise of AI and "vibe coding" has made things so much worse in practically every regard. At this point, any new software should be treated as a liability until proven otherwise.

  • They are trusting a "tool" that categorically cannot be trusted. They are fools to trust it.

  • I’m not sure will ever escape “move fast and break things” this side of a civilisation-toppling catastrophe. Which we might get.

    Considering how "vibe coding" has corroded IT infrastructure at all levels, the AI bubble is set to trigger a 2008-style financial crisis upon its burst, and AI itself has been deskilling students and workers at an alarming rate, I can easily see why.
