Words are just undulating sound waves. They can’t hurt you.
If you think they can, then you, perhaps more than anyone else, should be very careful to make sure yours don’t hurt other people.
You think most people read heavy machinery manuals before operating?
Either you’ve only ever worked in an office on a soft chair or you’ve never noticed that shampoo tells you not to put it in your eyes.
Just because you can read doesn’t mean you’re smart enough to understand
I refuse to believe that most Americans can not read at a 7th grade level
If this is “true” then it means we are simply measuring literacy incorrectly; 163M Americans are actively employed
Can your 6th grader read an employment contract? Read heavy machinery instructions?
“Practice any art… no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.”

@SpotifyCares Issue resolved. Still not thrilled about waiting in a support queue for 50 minutes when it would’ve taken a couple seconds to say it’s a known issue being worked on.
A few years ago I would have agreed with this caption but now that we’ve seen the government’s handling of the Epstein files, we now know there’s a shocking number of situations a child would need to know how to do this in.
The secret here is that your work is stupid.
My boss has been deep in the use ai for (almost ) everything for two months now; he’s miserable, the staff is miserable, we’re further behind on almost everything than we were two months ago.
But at least it’s fast!
@ecutruin You were so close. You’re not expressing anything beyond what you wrote in the prompt. Your contribution ended there. So now we have an image or video completely lacking in expression because the “creator” could have just shared their prompt and it would be the same.
@Artistreccs What is wrong with artists using generative AI? After all, art is about expression, not the effort invested in order to express. So, please explain what is wrong with using more efficient tools to express themselves.
Bro you got one cheap ai and an underpaid intern if that’s what they’re working tirelessly to produce.
You’d have to go behind a Denny’s to get sloppier than this.
Seeing a lot of hate regarding the unorthodox approach to Graphic Design on TEAM BOMBA…
I can assure all of you that our graphics design team are working tirelessly to churn these out and to call their life’s work “effortless” and “slop” is nothing more than ignorant and rude.
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.
We’re drowning in slop and I’m afraid the only way to fight back is for everyone to start reading, start having standards, start watching quality things. We’ve let the mindset of “let people enjoy things” and “stop being pretentious” destroy our culture.
That’s fine. I can’t afford basically anything, so billionaires, millionaires, and companies losing their invisible investment money means nothing to me.
They want customers? Make things affordable again. They can cut their CEOs salary in half and save themselves $100mil
just an fyi that if this keeps up the s&p will crash
to the extent there is a “bubble” it’s not in demand for AI it’s in high uncertainty over whether the supply can be built.
Oh and btw these are the same nimbys making rent expensive
