We're seeing it in action right now, tonight in this very thread:

I'd bet good money they vibe-coded the whole thing. Its AI, the whole point is to enable laziness, grifts and laziness in grifts.

Here's the link, so you can read Stack's teardown without giving orange site traffic:

Stumbled across some AI criti-hype in the wild on BlueSky:

The piece itself is a textbook case of AI anthropomorphisation, presenting it as learning to hide its "deceptions" when its actually learning to avoid tokens that paint it as deceptive.

On an unrelated note, I also found someone openly calling gen-AI a tool of fascism in the replies - another sign of AI's impending death as a concept (a sign I've touched on before without realising), if you want my take:

ZITRON DROPPED

AI bros are exceedingly lazy fucks by nature, so this kind of shit should be pretty rare. Combined with their near-complete lack of taste, and the risk that such an attempt succeeds drops pretty low.

(Sidenote: Didn't know about Samizdat until now, thanks for the new rabbit hole to go down)

Is there already a nice term for “this was published before the slop flood gates opened”? There should be.

"Pre-slopnami" works well enough, I feel.

EDIT: On an unrelated note, I suspect hand-writing your original manuscript (or using a typewriter) will also help increase the value, simply through strongly suggesting ChatGPT was not involved with making it.

I tagged it NSFW because the previous thread was tagged NSFW.

Trump administration’s blockchain plan for USAID is a real head-scratcher

Taking a shot in the dark here and saying they're implementing blockchain to enable corruption and fraud.

Ultra-rare footage of orange site having a good take for once:

Top-notch sneer from lobsters' top comment, as well (as of this writing):

You want my opinion, I expect AntiRez' pleas to fall on deaf ears. The AI funders are only getting funded due to LLM hype - when that dies, investors' reason to throw money at them dies as well.

I much prefer the Whoppenheimer.

I didn't mean to link something else, I just mangled my description. Thanks for catching it.
