  • That’s an interesting theory. I don’t think it’s right, particularly because the motives make zero sense, but it’s interesting nonetheless. In the same way that ‘lizard people are controlling humanity from subterranean bunkers’, ‘the Earth is flat’ and ‘birds aren’t real’ are all interesting theories.

    Maybe I’m just missing the facts… What closed source, proprietary software does Anthropic have for sale, that there is an open source alternative for?

    I’ll be honest, I’m tired of every single thing created with the help of AI being automatically denigrated as “slop” so I’m just pushing back on the term in general. I’ve seen too many indie games review bombed on Steam merely for being accused of having used AI, despite the creators assertion they did not. Everyone calling everything “slop” feels remarkably like MAGATs in the USA calling everything they don’t like “woke” and it’s an aggravating trend to me.

    Having said that, bogus PR created by AI without any review by a person prior submission is indeed slop. You’d think there would be an easy way to circumvent this, though. Such as by having a minimum threshold of reputation for a submitter before a PR is allowed. Even if an AI generates something, some person is putting their reputation on the line by claiming credit for it, no?


  • Because it’s not 100%. Just like all insects are bugs, but not all bugs are insects. See prior example.

    I’ve modified your reply in hopes you can discern what I’m saying: “I’ve had to work closely with a lot of dogs in a veterinarian capacity, and if you let dogs come in unchecked for long, one of them will be a bitch. Bitch by Merriam-Webster definition, is “a female dog” which sounds exactly like what a dog with a vagina having sex with other dogs would be producing.”

    If you use a word that applies to a portion of something as a word to describe all of the things, then you’re using slang.

    Thanks for the additional information. However, where is the evidence that these are submissions by Anthropic’s employees, as this post claims? Those submissions all appear to be from random authors.

    I would think this could be solved easily by requiring reputation to have a PR considered, otherwise with nothing preventing anyone from making an account and submitting anything at all, spam is inevitable, regardless of what tools were used to generate the spam.









  • Who is the slob, is it Aral Balkan? What makes him a slob? Did he have the audacity to use AI? Everyone knows doing so risks getting assigned a childish nickname that makes randos in the hive mind feel superior.

    Good choice of nickname, too. “Slob” sounds just like “slop” - hyuck hyuck. So clever. We should call any computer that has been used to host AI a “slot”. And a website where AI is accessible, we call a “slat.”

    So the slobs use their slots to access the slats to make their slop. Check out all that childish lingo referencing AI that I managed to fit into one sentence. We’re so smart!
