So 2026 will be the year of AI slop then.
the year of the linux desktop is getting delayed AGAIN?!
I just setup a new laptop. Straight from the store, never been turned on before.
First thing in the Windows installation is a step called “something went wrong”. Not even kidding.
MS is slop, with or without AI.
and I want him to stop calling slop “AI”.
If it sounds like a duck and looks like a duck, I’m calling it a duck.
Once it stops being slop, I’ll stop calling it what it is.
Brilliant. This will definitely work. I’m sure no one will call it slop anymore. /s
What a fuckin’ idiot.
Good job, Satya, no one you pay will call it slop in front of you. That’s all you accomplished, but I doubt anyone was anyway. The rest of the world will now call it slop just as often, if not more often, to spite your stupid face.
Tough shit, Sloppysoft.
Sloppysoft or Microslop?
Debating which word to add to my lexicon this year.
I’d be down with both, but my heart is with Microslop. Keeping the first six letters the same really gears the listener up to hear “microsoft” before pulling the rug out from under 'em
I remember when Microsoft wanted to call sharing songs “Squirting”.

“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as “cognitive amplifier tools.” “…and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”
There’s that word ‘hope’ again. It seems to be the main driving force behind a.i. implementation.
Also, I think “cognitive real-time amplifier product” makes for a better acronym.
So stop calling the slop slop?
Gee I dunno, maybe start by making an OS that isn’t so sloppy.
Really? Well… anytime I hear a CEO musing about destroying America I think of how expendable you are and what you might taste like. I am not alone.
And I would love it if Mr. Nadella stopped working for a company whose name perfectly describes his genitals.
I admire the one person so far who down-voted this because… it’s not nice to body-shame, especially about something that isn’t in your control, such as penis size.
That said… I approve of this message. Satya Nadella can fuck right off with his tiny penis. I can’t post it here because it’s NSFW, but I have image evidence that Mr Nadella has a very, very small penis. I asked Copilot to show me, so I know it’s accurate.
Agreed fully. It definitely isn’t nice to shame anyone for having a small penis. I just like saying it because I know he’s the sort of person who would get really, really pissed off by it. :-)
This image, though… part of me wants to look it up, but part of me knows I wouldn’t be able to go back from that.
If you don’t want it to be slop, don’t grind culture into a slurry, run half the worlds electricity through it, all for it to generate child porn. Actually fuck off.

Will you then pay for my next RAM purchase? Because it is your fault that prices have skyrocketed.
It’s mostly NVIDIA and OpenAI fault, if you want to be honest.
No. I blame the users for creating a market by using it. If no one was interested in that bullshit, then that industry would have collapsed 2-3 years ago. There will always be psychopaths with “business ideas” that do fuck all for this planet or the living beings roaming on it. Can’t prevent that. But the general masses enabling them? That’s definitely on every single one of them.
The market isn’t growing due to demand, though. AI is being pushed by businesses and investors hoping that demand will appear in the future. They’re burning through tons of cash, not growing naturally due to user interest.
If everyone was completely boycotting this machine learning bullshit, they wouldn’t stand a chance pushing it. Apps “offering” LLM bullshit? Use other software.
Support chat forces chatbot on you? Call them by the number on the imprint. And if that doesn’t work - send them a letter with a notice period to respond.
“Vibe coders” submitting pull requests? Tell them to shove their plagiarism where the sun don’t shine.
I have not had to use LLM snake oil even once to date, and I don’t plan on accepting it anywhere. Ig everyone did that, the “technology” would have been dead on arrival.
While it’s true that some demand is related, the vast vast majority of the spend is speculative on what AI might be and assuming that if it manages to be the thing of their dreams, it will demand exponentially more resources than the current LLM slop.
They are spending this money without clear indication that the demand they want is there. For example, OpenAI at one point claimed that, by now, businesses would be paying them $50k/year for a single ‘instance’ of LLM, good for equivalent to one human headcount.
They are currently betting that at some point, they’ll effectively fix the lack of actual reasoning (a number of AI enthusiasts will claim that AI can have an entirely distinct thing from any reasoning we have ever known but still call it reasoning, which is a pretty stupid cop out). And/or they’ll translate this reliably to robotics (so far this has ended up being pretty elusive, investors assumed the same fake language that passes for executive-speak means it could apply to menial manual labor, but it hasn’t worked yet).
But yeah, refraining from using these services would deflate the expectations more quickly, enough people toying around with it sparks the imagination of what the execs think they can get for it…
I understand your reasoning, but I disagree - I am sure that if 90% of people to whom “AI” was marketed would react with a “fuck off with that bullshit”, they wouldn’t ever have gotten the funding they have to begin with.

It’s your fault for using that shit and contributing to its widespread acceptance, thereby inflating the bubble. And you are therefore responsible for the consequences, among which completely unrelated people lose lots of money. If only that was the worst of it.

By your logic, when you give your vote to a fascist party, and they proceed to win the election and turn your country into a fascist dictatorship, then that is also not your fault.
