Are red currants safe for dogs? Someone wants to put such a plant in my backyard as part of a study on hummingbirds.

A quick web search finds several sites claiming they're highly toxic and several claiming they're perfectly safe. Which ones are slop? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dammit, Jim, I'm a computer scientist, not a veterinarian!

Before AI, slop existed. It has been a companion of humanity for over 2,000 years.

I wish I could switch to a completely slop-free editor without compromising my workflow too much.

Helix would be a great alternative: Its mappings seem a bit more consistent than Vim’s, also it has Tree-sitter, LSP and fuzzy pickers already built-in. But it lacks some features (digraphs, extensibility, folding – in that order).

I also had a look at Kakoune, which also seems alright, but I don’t like that tabs and splits are delegated to the terminal emulator, a multiplexer or window manager. I respect that decision, but I’d prefer that feature to be built-in.

For now, I’ll stick to Neovim. At least they have a policy that makes LLM users check and sanitise the generated code (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-assisted-work), although I’d prefer if they’d outright ban it.

#slopocalypse

🔔 BREAKING: #Jazzband is finally bowing out after a decade-long jam session where everyone got to play maestro 🎺. Apparently, a "slopocalypse" struck, and now they're scrambling to hand off the baton by 2026. Ah, the sweet sound of disorganized chaos in open source #management 🎷.

@volt4ire because of the #slopocalypse it looks like a good way

Hey, Google...

Where's the "No. Fuck off." button?

Apparently this is a new daily pop-up I get to dismiss when doing searches with my Android phone...

Hey, those all sound like problems we could solve with more AI.

My Android phone keeps trying to ragebait me with constant news story notifications about "[AI company] Strikes Deal with [PC hardware manufacturer]".

It's working.

I should probably renew that $17/yr RackNerd 2GB VPS plan I use for Pangolin, before it's no longer $17/month anymore...

EDIT: And, done....

Stumbled into a cool single-pass-through-the-LLM AI-hallucinated gem while trying to add a Portainer widget to my Glance dashboard.

Instructions to obtain an API key are completely-made-up, as are half of the API hooks into Portainer.

Coming to the realisation that I'm going to have to skill up on AI tools to at least try and ride out my industry's slide into the #slopocalypse.

Et tu, Bunnings?

Remember: if you ever feel bad about using AI, just go for a long walk, touch some grass, and remind yourself it took 50,000 gallons of clean water to generate that grass. 🌱💧 #AIguilt #Slopocalypse

@Richard_Littler WTF this is worse than I ever imagined #slopmachine #slopocalypse

@amalia12 Ich finde die Gefahr für Kunst und Kultur, die von generativer #KI ausgeht, ganz fürchterlich.
Passend zum Thema möchte ich diesen Microfiction-Text empfehlen:

I'm about 11 minutes into it. He's not in favor of LLM slop, but he's also being very critical of some of the hair-on-fire alarmism.

@futurebird I think the #slopocalypse and #enshittification are different concepts, aren't they? The latter is occurring independently from “AI”

As a teacher, I vastly prefer #slopocalypse to #enshittification because swear words present problems in my line of work. I can't host a conversation about #enshittification with middle school students.

Or rather I can but we'd need to call it something else. It's not a huge deal, and I think the swear word is ... valid in this context. It's a valid response to what has happened to much of the internet.

But, it does present a needless barrier.

This is an excellent video. This is the message. Perhaps we need to refine it more. Find ways to communicate it more clearly. But this is the correct take on LLMs, so-called-AI and the proliferation of these tools to the general public. #LLM #llms #ai #genAI #video #slop #slopocalypse #enshittification
