exactly what we're trending towards.


likely because we haven't yet reached peak slop/exhaustion by slop. Soon enough...soon enough


Buying lots of calls on Live Nation.


Most of human crafted shorts / reels are already slop.


Turns out this entire article is thinly veiled marketing for the MZOO sleep mask :D


wow this is infuriating--from 2023 so i guess the proliferation of chatgpt's vernacular wasn't yet carved into the curl dev


honestly i feel the same way and i can't quite put into words why. I guess if I had to -- I think it's because I know not all AI generated stuff is equally created and that some people are terrible at prompting/or don't even proofread the stuff that's outputted, so I have this internal barometer that screams "you're likely wasting your time reading this" and so I just learned to avoid it entirely. Which is sad, because clearly now a ton of stuff is AI generated, so I barely read anything, _especially_ if I see any signals like "it's not just this, it's that"


I think people are being extreme pedants at best, disingenuous at worst. I think your analogy is clear, and the people that can't connect because they don't understand swimming is in the minority.


Mitchell Hashimoto did the same thing with Ghostty and I respect the decision. AI assistance is okay but writing slop with little to no effort to understand it simply to get a badge that you've contributed to OSS is a waste of time for everyone.


i played CS competitively and the cheating was horrendous. if i had to put a number to it, i would guess that 50% were cheating in some form simply because it wasn't very difficult. I would ultimately be relying on checking the number of digits in your Steam ID to tell whether this account was fresh (higher probability that you bought a new one and were cheating). I think the anon matchmaking is the horrible part, not the anti cheat software.


>I think the anon matchmaking is the horrible part, not the anti cheat software.

Exactly. That's why an invite only community server can work.

Anti cheat is a losing game.


i disagree. Faceit and others have really done a great job. Riot's anticheat is also fairly effective. Anyway, it all depends on what you're trying to achieve. If it's casual gameplay, then who cares (although I wouldn't want to play in a server with cheaters even casually). But if you have ranks and a competitive scene, then anticheat is crucial


Agree with this. It's kind of like dating. No such thing as a 4.5/5 human since it's way too subjective and the enumeration of hard skills/soft skills is too high. Sometimes a fit can be an unspoken thing. You'll probably end up wasting a ton of time trying to figure out this magical algo and likely end up nowhere with it. Just my 2c


> a good fit for terrible staff, have terrible business practices

I think generally the people that end up choosing terrible staff that perpetuate terrible business practices are probably pretty terrible executives/founders themselves. Talent generally attracts talent in some way. There's really almost no situations where someone really fantastic would even _want_ to work for a bad company barring huge pay, or a rare moment of desperation due to life circumstances


Agreed but thats why a good rating system goes both ways.
