slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time
The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.”
F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)

i'll take this further: "slop" is just a pejorative way to say "production has become much cheaper and things can now be made that could not justify their expense in the status quo ante cost structure".
the printing press was used for slop too. slop is just the expression of the freedom to make.

People don’t have to make these long, convoluted arguments. Just stipulate whom you view as the protagonist and every other view that you hold is instantly entailed. Later in the thread, the protagonist is indicated. It’s the techie. I see a different protagonist.
Claude looks especially incompetent when it blames failure on its own subagents it launched and gave instructions to. It's all "yeah I'm with you, let's junk this garbage."
