And take years to learn how to use well
Heaven fucking forbid that a person dedicates themself to learning a perfecting a craft. Meanwhile, you sloppers are out here thinking you’re gonna take over the entertainment industry with your, “Yo Sora, make me a movie that’s like Pulp Fiction crossed with Fight Club with supernatural elements.”
Who cares if people make AI “slop” when there will also be visionaries making mind blowing stuff with AI?
Because that’s all that it’s good for. Every year it’s, “Oh this is going to be so much better in 6 months, bro. It’ll be able to generate full movies by then, for sure, bro.” And every year it does get better, but it’s still complete and utter garbage. It’s still slop.
And even if it’s not slop, LLM tech is basically just a repackaged soulless slurry of existing media. Unless there is a fundamental breakthrough in AI tech, it will always be that. LLMs just work that way. It is a limitation of the technology.
If you can’t see that, then you truly don’t understand what this tech is.

Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.
People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.
Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.

People don’t need AI slop at all. At least meat provides sustenance.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 2 days ago:
You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.
People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.

And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.
Meat, whether you think it’s moral or ethical or not, serves a need. People need to eat. People don’t need AI slop.
It’s kind of like saying, “Well yeah I leave this 50kw diesel generator running 24/7. It’s way less environmentally damaging than meat. No, I’m not using the power it generates for any real purpose, but who cares, it’s environmentally friendly!”

Get out of my room, Peter Pan.
- Comment on Why does my brain think I still need counterpoints for arguments I had ten years ago? 2 weeks ago:
I had a roommate that bitched at me for how I washed a pan poorly 20 years ago.
I still imagine arguing with him when I wash dishes maybe 30% of the time. It’s extremely stupid.
- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 3 weeks ago:
I’ve recently been playing through God of War (2018), and one of my biggest complaints is how bad the camera and movement is.
I just finished playing this for the first time. I started with a controller, and moved to more and keyboard. It’s a lot better with a mouse.

My Internet-connected Linux computers are pretty fucking rad.

Same. I kinda like it.
- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 5 weeks ago:
For me, Linux wasn’t viable as a daily driver until Valve made gaming work.
But now that they have, it’s great.
- Comment on Critical Docker Desktop flaw lets attackers hijack Windows hosts 1 month ago:
I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.
All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

Nostalgia? Doom 3 came out three years after Diablo 2’s expansion.
- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 1 month ago:
I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

Graphical video games predate ASCII.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 month ago:
Hell, not even junior devs. I need to be able to come back to code months or years later and be able to figure it out. I can only remember so much.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 month ago:
No. Both are hard to maintain. And in fact, I’d prefer the spaghetti. It can be untangled.
- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 month ago:
If your code is as comprehensible as that run-on sentence, I can understand why coworkers would ask you to please write simpler code.

None are.

+1 for Ubiquiti, but I’d suggest one of the cheaper models with built in WiFi unless you plan on having an intricate network.

- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 3 months ago:
I adored the details they gave the characters in that game. I accidentally
Tap for spoiler
got the good ending just because I wanted to see the story of each character
It also had such nice and natural-feeling LGBTQ characters.

You should never feel bad for turning difficulty down.

I have heard them called “knowledge-based games”. While not catchy, I think it’s accurate.

I emailed Lifeformed back in 2020 to ask permission to use their music in a video and they were so nice.
The Dustforce soundtrack is so good, and the Tunic soundtrack does such an amazing job at elevating the game.

You’re taking about bringing a man of control and order into that den of chaos and goblinry? I don’t think Alec would enjoy it.
