New edition of AI Killed My Job, focusing on how AIās fucked the copywriting industry.


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


But this is the military, so itās not like details matter or lives are on the line if youāre 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: āSoldier dissatisfactionā didnāt accurately describe what this plan will do - changed it to ādamage to moraleā.


Found a new and lengthy sneer on Bluesky, mocking the promptfondlersā gullibility.


How can it be called open source when they cannot legally share the sources with you because theyāre stolen?
Easy, the people calling it that believe exploiting people and stealing their work is okay


Heartbreaking news today.
In a major setback for right-to-repair, iFixit has jumped on the slop bandwagon, introducing an āAI repair helperā to their website that steals āthe knowledge base of over 20 years of repair expertsā (to quote their dogshit announcement on YouTube) and uses it to hallucinate ārepair guidesā and āstep-by-step instructionsā for its users.


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


Perhaps, this is hell.
Weāre 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 hasnāt been posted here until now - thanks for dropping it.
In a similar vein, thereās a guide to recognising AI-extruded music on Newgrounds, written by two of the siteās Audio Moderators. This has been posted here before, but having every āslop tell guideā in one place is more convenient.


Kovid Goyal, the primary dev of ebook management tool Calibre, has spat in the face of its users by forcing AI āfeaturesā into it.


the article headline: āChatbots are now rivaling social networks as a core layer of internet infrastructureā
Counterpoint: āvibe codingā 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


Iām a bit more familiar with Case - I mainly knew her for making web games like :the game: trilogy, Nothing to Hide and We Become What We Behold.
Fucking sucks to see sheās bought into this shit.


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 āfavouriteā goes to the guy who casually admits he canāt 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 āvibe codingā 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.


Major RAM/SSD manufacturer Micron just shut down its Crucial brand to sell shovels in the AI gold rush, worsening an already-serious RAM shortage for consumer parts.
Just another way people are paying more for less, thanks to AI.


They are trusting a ātoolā that categorically cannot be trusted. They are fools to trust it.


New and lengthy sneer from Current Affairs just dropped: AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
