most of what is considered "taste" (read: design) is in the realm of zero sum signaling games

your tasteslop will just be the next AI slop

and then your anti-tasteslop will become the next tasteslop

taste is defined in terms of slop and therefore can never transcend slop.

replugging my essay, “taste is not scalable” where I had the audacity to quote Kant on taste coz this is getting a bit ridiculous. taste in what? art assets? typography? writing? static design? video editing? cinematography? UI? interaction design? UX? taxonomies? copy? TASTE IN WHAT? WHOSE TASTE? AND THEIR TASTE IN WHAT? AND WHAT WILL THAT BEING FORMULISED DO FOR ANYONE?

tech industry didn’t have the vocabulary to discuss human art and creativity so it’s created a new binary definition: taste vs slop. naturally, there were going to be models and companies “solving” for taste. it started with “context”. I don’t mean to diss on this company, I know others too in this space and it’s been the most soulless work to watch which is really something if you’re going to turn “taste” into your category.

you know what’s the real slop? these catchphrases and whoever keeps coming up with them.

ghibli’s work is BEYOND “tasteful”. AI generated ghiblislop is bottom of the trash pile. go figure.

TASTE IS NOT SCALABLE.

When taste is fully automated it ceases to function as taste

MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us

JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Some of you were alive when that happened.

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.

Unpopular opinion:

I rarely meet men in real life who are as remarkable as the ones written in movies, but I constantly meet women who are far more impressive than the women movies give us.

I didn’t even realize a politician could use a Pride event to announce real change and progress. We’re so conditioned to accept the bare minimum.

I wrote about emigration from Turkey. Everyone's talking about it, but the numbers are fairly calm: in a country of 86 million, a couple hundred thousand leave per year.

No great exodus.

It's much more about who's leaving.

You can't really contend with what LLMs mean without centering the quantity issue. The flood of low-quality slop is drowning out any hypothetical good uses, especially when hallucinations and errors fill up our databases and resources.
