René Girard's theories on mimetic desire come to mind, even though I sometimes thing his thought was not as universal as some assume. Maybe he was just describing a sickness of self-domesticated humans, or even Neoteny (babies need att

I am steganographically ensuring that my human writing is instantly recognizable by always leaving a few typos and spelling mistakes an llm would never commit. also long sentences. This kind of reminds me of Dune; you have to make sure to n

If I may quote you: "Reasoning from a sibling product generates confident, plausible, wrong answers. These each burned real time before collapsing." May I ask what exactly did you intend to mean when you wrote this sentence? it se

are you really sure? I don't remember writing any of that ever. I also don't remember reading this in anything I liked reading or even marketing copy or sales.

Can you give us one example of something which does suffer from slop's massive bloat of wordage and vapid breathless formulations but is still useful as is?

I kind of agree with vivzkestrel here, it would be nice to have more falsifiability in the post. I stopped reading at "AIs are outperforming humans in coding", please author put this sentence more towards the beginning of the post

Not quite. I would advise refraining from exposing yourself to such horrors. It's a bit of an overton window thing really. For reference: Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics. Talking about "double tap&q

Oh well, nice enough writeup, just note that this pair of sentences: "It now began to eliminate the cities, one after another. Finally Man was gone." ...is the only (lack of) rationale for, and description of, that aforementioned
