Friendly reminder:
NO ONE needs AI slop and more AI data centres
EVERYBODY needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet

Microslop's CEO is on a roll!
Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete. 
Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own? 
"AI Features" is just another buzzword for "Information Harvesting" - thanks, but no thanks!
@Tutanota #JustSayNo to #Clankers.
#AI stands for #ArtificialIdiots.
LLMs are spam generators. That is all.
They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent".
But really, all they are is spam generators.
We have hit the spamularity.
@cstross #AI will soon be understood to stand for #ArtificialIdiots.
Or #clankers.
Remember how we were all supposed to be "left behind" if we don't jump on the Metaverse bandwagon? Especially businesses?
Yeah, about that:

But today we should treat absolutely seriously all the bullshit about "being left behind" if we don't adopt "AI"! 🤡
This anthropomorphized framing of Grok in the media (claiming that Grok has "apologized") only serves the interests of these tech companies. It gives the appearance that some entity has taken responsibility for what is happening, when in reality no one has. https://www.usermag.co/p/is-anyone-going-to-take-accountability
@taylorlorenz #AI stands for ‘ #ArtificialIdiot.’
I am so stubborn about not using AI.
You have no idea.
I will even go as far as writing my own texts, drawing my own images, writing my own code, and reading the whole article or email just by myself. Crazy stuff.
@Em0nM4stodon me too, but I've got a disabled colleague who's having a hard time with the standard PC keyboard. AI actually deciphers his typing, so he can just type the begining of each word.
So far, I haven't seen any other valid use for the clankers.
The term #clankers is apparently in at least limited use on the fediverse. Why isn't it more common? It should be.
