The Super Bowl is chock full of AI ads and, from the bottom of my heart, I hope every single company humoring this shit goes bankrupt in glorious fashion, and that the marketing firms responsible for pitching this fuck-awful slop spends the rest of their miserable days fighting off lawsuits.

Every time they do that cruddy de-aging, it reminds me of this

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

This loser admits she doesn't use her real name when she uses AI to write books and doesn't reveal they're AI. Which means she knows it's wrong and she knows it's shameful and does it anyway. The New York Times thinks that's neat though! Unsurprising that this toilet paper rag aligns with hacks

This is straight up manufacturing consent now

99% of stakeholder "ideas" is just copying a feature they saw on a competitor's product. And the features they notice most are the ones that yell at their users the loudest. Now all software (not just consumer apps, but also metrics dashboards) yells at you, and trains you to attend to its yelling.

one of the most brilliant comments about "AI Art" is that to be an artist you have to fail over and over again before you "succeed". AI Art is failure that stays as a failure. All it can do is recreate what you get from advertising, which always (and only) wants something from the target market

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Let the past die

Published my first piece at @wired.com today, about a string of AI thrillers that have bombed (most recent being the hopelessly naive Chris Pratt vehicle 'Mercy'), the backlash to Darren Aronofsky's YouTube slop take on the American Revolution, and a grotesque nostalgia-bait Super Bowl ad:

“This news has moved me from ‘maybe computer use should be regulated’ to ‘Butlerian Jihad Now’ on the radicalisation scale.” 😂

Had to blog about digital de-aging, the original Jurassic Park, and why nobody seems to ask themselves "hey, is this going to look good when we do it?" aftermath.site/jurassic-par...

The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails: aftermath.site/steam-machine-...

Blocked another rando replying to me with AI Slop they made, I don’t care if you agree with me, I will reflexively block you for inflicting this upon me

Is it bad if your stock is down almost 40% over a year despite quadrupling down on AI during a stock market bubble?

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

AI is literally a consent manufacturing machine.

Just baffling how company after company continues to step on this rake, just to save paying an actual artist.

Slop is slop, even (or especially?) when offered up by a well-known if overrated "let's get funky with over the shoulder shots" director. Who the fuck wants this? No one. Aronofsky can fuck right off into the sun. www.avclub.com/american-rev...

You send me some AI Slop to indicate you agree with my post, you get blocked. That’s a promise

"A bunch of rich dipshits in a big circle jerk pretend they found the infinite money glitch, but now everyone knows it's a lie and the world is going to collapse under their hubris" is a flatly rock shit stupid system of resource allocation and it cannot be allowed to survive imo.

Right, so video game company stocks are crashing because the power of AI supposedly renders them irrelevant. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Oracle stocks are crashing because they spent too much on AI and the market knows they'll never make a return. The economy is absolutely hosed

More politicians need to speak up about how AI is completely useless.

I'm not sure how Microsoft's "we understand that people don't trust Windows 11" and "We're going to put even more AI into it" are reconcilable.

Seeing the AI 1776 trailer and thinking of the attendant excuse of "we wouldn't have the budget for this without AI" in relation to I, Claudius. Where the seams show, dodgy age makeup, an Ancient Room the size of a Hampton Inn lobby, and how it's still one of the best TV series ever made.

Dogshit.

We need a word that goes beyond 'slop' for this one: aftermath.site/we-need-a-word...

Congrats to Culture Crave, a verified account for...something [??? -ed.], on their viral post smearing Aranofsky's AI slopaganda trailer in its entirety all over everyone's timelines. I know I feel informed

I don’t know what’s worse: a Darren Aronofsky movie he made or a Darren Aronofsky movie he didn’t make

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity

Aranofsky is and has always been a fuckass loser whose misanthropic films are both shallow and hateful.

Ok finally my deep and seething contempt for Aronofsky is publicly justified. I think I once promised jokingly to share my take on why Aster is a much better director, but tl;dr: Aronofsky sucks because his work symbolizes what a dullard imagines is Important

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me. It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

this world sucks

Stop approvingly sharing AI Slop

Hey if you have a problem with the White House sharing A.I. generated photos of their political enemies great reminder to not also do that

Keep it up everyone

Elder Abuse, simple as

every day I get on here and post "chuds dont buy things" and every day some new company is like "what if we alienate everyone except the biggest freaks on earth"

counterpoint: refusing to engage will stop it

All the AI arguments are so reminiscent of forced consent

I can’t tell y’all what I would give to live in a world without AI. It’s so mindlessly infuriating that we just let it happen like this.

huge congratulations to @froggyblink.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the assignment on the first-ever skeet to feature a functioning $TSLA cashtag
