Slop be thy truth, slop be thy name
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Just finished reading Sisters of the Crimson Vine by @authorplm.bsky.social, a deliciously creepy & evocative folk horror novella that really felt like midsummer in the middle of winter, and also made me really miss wine.
Plus sexy nuns, if that's your jam.

Reminder that if you can't afford an artist, you can create the cover yourself. @carsonwinter.bsky.social painted his own cover.
Not only was it free, but it's also completely unique and representative of him as an artist and author.
No AI, no stealing, no excuses, no slop.
It's that easy.
