AI slop is content geared toward metrics in an algorithm. AI is helpless and must produce content averaged out by the metrics of whatever company designed the thing. But humans are perfectly capable of producing slop.
For example, a director working for Apple wanted to nerd out on the opening sequence to pay tribute to an obscure movie he liked. Apple said no. Their data showed that audiences needed to be captivated in the first 30seconds or they’d switch off. So how about a drone-shot over a European city with a song that cost a fortune to licence, and with a voice over explaining everything? All the slop, none of the AI.
Conservatives could take the hint that racism burns calories; it doesn’t matter how you feel in your heart. John Roberts doesn’t use the N word when he steals voting rights from black Americans living in the slaveholding States.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Back in my day it was ok to receive a paddlin (simpson ref there) at school as a kid. But on the flip side it was against the law to beat or paddle a prisoner by a guard, why the rule difference?
1·1 day agoI got my ass paddled 3 times before my State cut that crap out. Mr Summerville got me twice, but that was nothing compared to the drilled-out paddle that Mrs Routin kept.

19·1 day agoShortly after 911, someone told me that if you’re going to do something to the US that she’s never done to anyone else, you’re going to need 3 nuclear weapons.
I thought it was egregious at the time.

politics @lemmy.world•The Men Who Want Women to Be Quiet | A virulent form of misogyny has become the single most important force holding together the American right.
9·2 days agoMasculinism has been a great gift, because factions with different views on, say, protectionism or Israel or Big Tech can all agree on the overreach of feminism and the need for a return to traditional gender roles. Far from being a fringe belief system, masculinism has become the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, and fanboys.
Misogyny was the first bigotry and the model for all the others. No wonder it’s the connective tissue of the American Right.

Linux@lemmy.world•How Linux developers defeated the new OS age-verification lawsEnglish
140·2 days agoIt’s unenforceable on Linux. A Linux user can simply remove or modify any code running on their machine. Fedora, Debian, and Arch can’t make a user verify their age any more than they can force you to use Gnome. It’s kinda the whole point of FOSS.

I did have issues when I first switched to Linux, but that was on Debian.

10·2 days agoIsshin is one of the greatest boss battles in gaming. He’s a brutal, but fair, test of everything you learn in the game. The best part is you get to kill Genechro over and over.
IMO the Demon of Hatred is way harder because so few of your skills are useful in that fight.

27·2 days agoThe article does not say, or imply that. In fact, it goes out of it’s way to say that mental health professionals don’t have a good understanding of this phenomena. Do you have a source Senator Armstrong?
Acid is best experienced with about 6-8 other people who all know and trust each other. (at least one of which should be sober) That’s why all the acid stories are from teenagers and college kids because what adult has that many friends that can coordinate an activity that can kill 2 days counting crash and recovery.

It’s a good theory, but Shapiro’s problems pre-date this. Shapiro’s problems seem to really start in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing. The Nick Fuentes, anti-Semitic faction of the Right has become ascendant and they don’t like Ben. (for some reason).
You could even argue it goes back to the friction with Candace Owens, and her firing from The Daily Wire behind her support of Kanye West.
In any case, the American right is splitting up over the idea that opposition to Israel is antisemitic. They believe that and therefore cannot support Israel.
