Probably shouldn’t make slop then, huh?

stop making everything about the slop toaster then, shit for brains popuko-hammer

so, what's the general feeling? is Nadella a worse CEO than Ballmer?
Ballmer resulted in some good memes
chgxvjh@hexbear.net 2 days ago
I’d say overall Ballmer was still a worse technologist and business man.
robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 2 days ago
ballmer was much funnier and that’s the only distinction in ghouls that i can be arsed to care about.

Ballmer was an idiot capitalist who only made exclusive deals to push windows rather than software advancement people actually wanted.
Nadella is doing the same thing but with AI and end user subscriptions.

Maybe they should do developing slopware, then…

Calling all AI use slop is like calling all e-mail spam.
Birch@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
99.9% of emails are spam or at the very least unsolicited. 99.9% of AI content is useless, wrong or disturbing, thus, slop.

Right, the vast majority by volume.

Yet you would not say ‘my mom sent me spam of Christmas photos.’

I don’t think people are calling all AI slop. But if most actual use of AI is creating slop, people will associate the two. Also, it shows the technology isn’t as groundbreaking or universally applicable as advertised…
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Some people are unambiguously calling all AI slop.
Advertising shits in your brain, but we can’t let the obvious lies of obvious liars obscure how neural networks are a whole new kind of software. Even these stupid chatbots let anyone write the old kinds of software. There’s a guy on Youtube who built a camera to visualize the speed of a laser in flight. Halfway through the video about integrating a hilariously sensitive photodiode and a high-precision motor system, he completely hand-waves the code for everything you actually see.
None of this is going to disappear when the bubble bursts. The dotcom bubble didn’t kill the web. We’ve demonstrated that a DVD’s worth of linear algebra can turn plain English into amateur Python, and suggesting that will soon be lost to history is absurd. Your IDE’s gonna have an autocomplete where Clippy does what you fucking tell him. It’s just not going to be the as-a-service remote computing bullshit these vultures are betting on, because remote computing has been a stupid idea for at least half a century. Spicy autocomplete will be another tool in the menu… like normal autocomplete. We can sneer at people for using either one, but rough standards and working code move the world.

What’s the most concrete use case for AI that justifies its existence?
mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Diffusion almost lives up to its hype. It is CGI for dummies, and will produce photorealistic video with less effort than hand-drawing a stick figure. LLMs might disappear entirely, with every aspect of their design replaced, but ‘remove all the pixels that don’t look like Hatsune Miku impregnating Goku’ actually works. God help us all.
The practical future is in “diffusion forcing,” where a human artist can draw however many frames they like, and the robot can only fill in the gaps. If the robot does something wrong… draw more frames between stuff. One frame per second and a say-what-you-see description will probably suffice.
We can presumably also expect variations that finish sketchy animatics, but that’s always going to be less art-driven than artists would like. Absolute maniacs like James Baxter can feed in a pencil version of a camera orbiting a ballroom dance, but the robot will emit a broadly similar motion in finished quality. It’s better-off being used to turn on-fours into on-ones.

I didn’t call AI content slop, but I’m gonna start doing it now.

“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature. (As WC points out, there’s actually growing evidence that AI harms human cognitive ability.)
Going on, Nadella said that we now know enough about “riding the exponentials of model capabilities” as well as managing AI’s “‘jagged’ edges” to allow us to “get value of AI in the real world.”
“Ultimately, the most meaningful measure of progress is the outcomes for each of us,” the CEO concludes, in an impressive deluge of corporate-speak that may or may not itself be AI-generated. “It will be a messy process of discovery, like all technology and product development always is.”
TLDR: That’s not what he said and rehashing the same interview in article after article with this frankly clickbait headline is getting old.
