- Comment on The Global Rise of Low-Quality AI Videos: new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos 1 day ago:
They are a monopoly. They don’t care and they don’t have any financial incentives to care. Making good platform that people want to use is hard, making it a monopoly and populate it with slop that other bots are clicking through way easier, and brings basically the same results. People who don’t want to click on slop will continue to do so, but now they’re spending more time looking for it, which is even better for ad revenue. What else are they gonna do, watch Vimeo? Go outside? Don’t be ridiculous.

It was already fully automated years ago, with the bullshit oriented at small kids. It was multibillion endeavour even then, YouTube did nothing to it, why would they, it’s their dream business model. The one now, when bots generate slop that is watched by other bots, is just a continuation of that

- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 5 days ago:
For me, this specific issue is more of a personal level, it’s not about me waging a war against slopgenerators, it’s about trust. Trust is gradually built item by item. My trust in a company consists of their actions over time. They make a good game - trust goes up. They commit to provide good working conditions to the workers and actually do that - trust goes up again. Them starting using slopgen reduces that trust. It reduces it enough so I don’t trust what they are saying anymore. It’s not that I’m starting war on them or whatever, but they lost enough of my trust so when they just say something, I don’t believe it outright, the way I do with any other company, because for a company the line going up is way more important that anything else, and honouring words demonstrably doesn’t put the line up. Before this shit, my trust in Larian was high enough so I might believe them publicly declaring something, but as it stands right now, I don’t anymore, and that’s kind of the extend of my approach to it.
All the previous games of theirs I preordered, early accessed, bought the second the buying option was available. This one I wouldn’t. - Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 6 days ago:
Can’t remember, but it worked after I checked off the other ones without restarting.

If you only disable the first one, the points in menu are still there, so I don’t know what exactly does it do but not that. At least it was like that last time I tried to get rid of this annoying shit.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 1 week ago:
My point is pretty simple: they said they only use LLM “for good”, but the more they get, the more insensitive they get to lie, so your “but they said [bla bla]” argument can’t hold. If they started using it for something, the only thing stopping them from using it for everything is their reputation and the desire to make a good game, and the more money is on the line, the less value that desire holds in the face of immediate profits.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 1 week ago:
This is pretty insane misinterpretation of my words, you need to read every second word, and be overall unbelievably unserious person to do that
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 1 week ago:
Also, corpos are alllowed and in some cases are required to lie, even the “good ones” like Larian. And now, when they have more money then ever, they become less trustworthy than ever. This slope is very slippery. Nothing stops them from overextending their ideas, and when a lot of money involved, I can forsee “well, we need to finish quickly, and we’re already use llm anyway, let it help with the script, and since it’s already in the script no reason not to let it generate some art, and well, since it’s already everywhere, why don’t we generate the code with it”
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 week ago:
CEOs have this massive psychosis, they really believe everyone wants this bullshit. I have a theory that it’s because they were always surrounded by yesmen, and simultaneously they hate people, so for them the LLM is the best thing ever, all the constant agreeing and affirmation with no pesky humanity, and they can’t believe there is anyone who don’t want that.

- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 weeks ago:
They never actually say what “product” do they make, it’s always “shipped product” like they’re fucking amazon warehouse. I suspect because it’s some trivial webpage that takes an afternoon for a student to ship up, that they spent three days arguing with an autocomplete to shit out.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 weeks ago:
It never seconds. The first three versions will don’t do what you want (or not work at all), so you will end up arguing with this shit for significant amount of time without realising it

- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 3 weeks ago:
I have a different approach, for me the idiotic title is a red flag that I shouldn’t watch the video in the first place. But for thumbnails it seems like the only way to survive on youtube is to make a youtube face in thumbnail pointing at something, even the respectable and interesting channels are doing it

Obviously, that would require reading and engaging with my response, and you clearly decided to not do both even before I wrote it

The same reason you ask it to do anything.

It is far better than a modern search engine, although that is in part because of all of the SEO slop that Google has ingested. The fact that you need to think critically is not something new and it’s never going to go away either.
Very much disagree with that. Google got significantly worse, but LLM results are worse still. You do need to think critically about it, but with LLM blurb there is no ways to check for validity other than to do another search without LLM, to find sources, and in this case why even bother with the generator in the first place, or accept that some of your new info can be incorrect, and you don’t know which part.
With conventional search you have all the context of your result, you have the reputation of the website itself, you have the info about who wrote the article or whatever, you have the tone of article, you have comments, you have all the subtle clues that we learnt to pick up on both from our lifetime experience on the internet, and civilisational span experience with human interaction. With the generator you have zero of that, you have something that is stated as fact, and everything has the same weight and the same validity, and even when it sites sources, those can be just outright lies. - Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 3 weeks ago:
A year ago I was looking for a job, and by the end I had three similar job offers, and to decide I asked all of them do they use LLMs. Two said “yes very much so it’s the future ai is smarter than god”, and the third said “only if you really want, but nowhere where it matters”. I chose the third one. Two others are now bankrupt.
- Comment on Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline 3 weeks ago:
It’s not that it’s impossible, but it requires effort, skill, and time. Instead of hiring a bunch of programmers who would make it run on the device locally, you can just throw the same amount of money at Amazon and it will run whatever unoptimised version of the renderer you stole on some random Chinese forum. As a bonus, you got to enrich a multibillionaire and make a world slightly worse place, which is a second and third priority of every CEO after getting money.

Every time I think I know all the ways in which the US is deeply and weirdly fucked, I learn shit like this. “I need to consult this helpful website to check if the hotel I’m going to stay at has toilet doors”
Guys, are you OK over there, do you need any help?
