As a person whose name and likeness regularly gets used for AI slop, @kashhill.bsky.social's AI-written biography has unlocked an entirely new kind of nightmare fuel: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/technology/ai-slop-books-biography-amazon.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yFA.goGV.PyjHouzlY6S3
@evacide “People get an enormous amount of enjoyment and satisfaction out of creating stuff if it’s low effort,” he said. People who want to be creative, but might not be very good at it, can turn to A.I. and find “a bunch of barriers removed.”

@evacide Another scary, scary….

I’ve already read where an open-source moderator denied an AI code-submission into their project. The AI agent, ON ITS OWN, gathered info on the moderator and began to trash the moderator on social media. 😳 #aislop
@evacide this is all very depressing. And disturbing.
