NaNoWriMo? Na, No Mo’. Does this have anything to do with their bungled AI policy? Maybe, maybe not, but hey, the news article that I saw this announcement in thought that it was pertinent to mention.

OpenAI: Nah, I’d become profitable

Ok. Full disclosure. When you said “Shad”, I thought you meant a different internet person who is shitty for creating morally degenerate art, so when I read this I thought that they had pivoted to AI and was like, I guess that tracks. But no, different shithead.

Anyway. Bland and uninspired? All actual art is inspired, just by default. If it were truly bland, you wouldn’t be able to discern anything from it, which is just not the case. So Shad isn’t actually giving a valid opinion, he’s throwing out an insult, just so that he can elevate AI slop.

Now AI slop, on the other hand, is uninspired and bland. It is uninspired because machines do not have the ability to be inspired. It is bland because it has no intention to be discerned, so contains nothing of substance.

The funds are being redirected to refilling prince andrews sweat ballasts

Takes:

1. Ah yes the classic “combine a bunch of worthless things together to magically create value” that caused the financial crisis
2. Those banks aren’t taking their pounds of flesh fast enough. Maybe they don’t want to cut into Musk’s bloated corpse of a body.
3. Musk combining two things reminds me of this 16 year old video (CW: scatological humor)

That’s great. In a better world, all genAI users would become black goo-producing inhuman monsters to reflect their inner selves, but I suppose this is as much justice as we’ll get

Great vid. A good reminder that all the culture war people are real fucking stupid and I am right to disengage from scrapping with them.

It must be nice not being so terminally online as myself

Don’t worry, I assure you that I am suffering in different ways

Anyone who uses gen AI is my opp, status report:

• so far every restaurant that I’ve been to where I noticed AI slop as part of the decor has sucked. One of the ones local to me closed, hooray!
• IDF: haha look we are Ghibli please send us more machine guns
• a third thing

Hooray, I’m glad that when I inevitably start seeing a therapist again, I can finally talk about all this shit without needing a ton of primer.

“Goonernomicon: Grummz | Part 1” just dropped! Posting this as a stub because it’s only adjacent to the ordinary purview. A+++ chud hater content.

full disclo: I did not know who Grummz was before this

Is Japanese really that strict

my Japanese uncle that works at nintendo says yes. If you write わ instead of は they make you 切腹 in front of all your friends

Nothing like attending a rally at Kurt’s Krazy Karts!

That’ll look good in my portfolio next to my biotech startup with a personal touch YouGenics

also make sure you get a 100% gold buttplug and sleep with it in. that way you always have a stash on you in case the left take over the government and storm your house

Oh hey, a classic troll farm comment. Did you just wake from cryosleep? Facebook is thataway ->

I haven’t spent a lot of time sneering at transhumanism, but it always sounded like thinly veiled ableism to me.

This deserves its own thread, pettily picking apart niche posts is exactly the kind of dopamine source we crave

You are absolutely right. I guess Pearl Jam came to mind as it is a euphemism for, well, the result of gooning.
