I don't think I've ever seen an emerging technology that's driven CEOs from multiple companies to come out in public and ask people to stop saying mean things about it.

@michi nothing says "the tactic is working" like having billionaires say their feelings are hurt.

@michi @jwz *takes deep breath* SLLLLLOOOOOPPPPPP! SLOP! SLOP SLOP SLOP! SLOPSLOPSLOPSLOPSLOP! I'd yell it right into Nadella's face if I could.

c0debabe@masto.hackers.town

@michi oh now we *have* to call it slop

acb@mastodon.social

@michi @jwz Perhaps they really want to make sure the Basilisk doesn’t simulate them in Hell for all eternity.

ra6bit@infosec.exchange

@michi I have. Meme coins. NFTs. Google Glass. Clipper Chips.Locked Bootloaders. Automated CSAM scanning.

@michi Sloppedy-slop-slop and slop. (There, I said it)

PS: Somehow I'm feeling Monty Python vibes ("Jehovah"). Are they going to throw AI apps at me, instead of stones?
Oh, never mind, they are doing that already.

gabemoralesvr@mastodon.social

@michi that's because there was no CEO of nfts lol

bougiewonderland@freeradical.zone

@michi @joakimfors We’re doing good, let’s keep it up! Make them cry!

sean@liberal.city

@michi not true, in the late 1800s many people called telephones the "Graham-Bell telephony fakery" and Alexander got really steamed from that.

elfin@mstdn.social

@michi

It's Dog Shit

"Why do you keep calling it that?!?"

hub@cosocial.ca

@michi truth hurts.

martinescardo@mathstodon.xyz

@michi Will there be a Streisand effect arising from this?

Let's hope so.

sammypanda@aus.social

@michi im sus, like it almost seems like reverse psychology (i dont trust these guys lol). Buuut, at face value, this makes it even more fun to say what it is; it gives it a fresh feeling of class solidarity

tschew@mastodon.social

@michi it's actually hilarious. They are now quite certain that they have hugely miscalculated and that deep learning does not lead to AGI and never will. Instead, sunk cost fallacy is destined to first further increase investment of all kinds of money that could be better spent elsewhere. When the bubble finally pops, this will then lead to the biggest financial crisis since the 1920s as everyone realises that they are never going to see profits. Hopefully it will take them down with it...

@michi I don't have negative feelings against AI in general, because I know and understand that AI is much more than LLMs and other generative algorithms. However AI slop can go to hell.

lediva@lediva.masto.host

Just in case they develop AGI (they won't, certainly not based on LLMs), I guess they want to be on its "good side"?

drj@typo.social

@michi it would be like if the President of USB said "Stop Being Mean About Our Awesome A Connector; we called it A for a reason".

rowinspeez@mas.to

@michi the richest companies in the world no less. Really proves the old adage that the privileged view any kind of personal inconvenience as oppression.

shyra@bitbang.social

@michi @chasnah

Amazing what programming a GPU to sound like a redditor can do for the capital-addled mind, huh?
