An article on Aftermath about how depressing AI slop has made emulation and decompilation projects, and crushed existing communities https://aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbies-in-software-emulation/
And hey, it links to me and @glyph's blogposts
(Thx for the heads up @mostol)
@cwebber @glyph @mostol Slop evangelists don't care about community, any more than they do human creatively, they either want the endorphin rush that comes from internet points given by people who don't know how damaging what they're doing is, or to help install the AI tollbooth in another place that it is neither wanted or welcome.
They're leaving the internet a wasteland, with small tightly walled off communities that aren't visible from the outside, surrounded by ghost towns and the desert of Reddit, centralised Socials and Discord, where bots will tell at oneanother and scrape the responses forever more.
