Android is a pile of janky steaming shit too lately for the same reason.
it’s not just AI slop: they’re breaking shit constantly now

since the latest update, random things will crash Explorer and my taskbar will restart, Discord kept freezing until I turned off notifications, and trying to scroll in Chrome with some games alt-tabbed is a glitchy mess

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Increasingly tech is seeking to solve for the problem "humans exist," which is what you'd expect to see in a system where humans are seen as a cost and not a value.
“Humans get tired; some days are better than others. The AI does not get tired. It doesn’t get grumpy. It doesn’t have a bad day. The AI is consistent,” says Juan Espinoza, vice provost” demonstrating that humans can be profoundly ignorant and make vibe-based decisions.

Judging from the quotes in here, university admins are some of the least “ai literate” people in existence. No wonder they think students need to be taught how to use it.

Kelly with the "everyone is 12 now" theory of the administration.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Can't believe I'm typing this but... I agree with Bill Kristol.

"Give us the midterms and we'll fucking impeach him. Give us the executive and we try his ass for war crimes that he has already admitted to."
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

When our son was 10 he would ask questions about whatever narrative we were consuming together and it took one talk like "those questions you're always asking are called the story and if you're patient you'll find that they get answered eventually" and a lot of the internet needs that refresher.
"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

I'm already just intrinsically giving more value to anything dated before late 2022 or so. At some point the AI slop assholes are going to be pissed by that and start artificially backdating their slop to make it seem more legitimate. I can feel it coming in my bones.
One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.

I think this has not been adequately metabolized.

This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

The Woz consistently strikes me as one of the best people to ever come along in the early era of computers. I'm sure there's some skeleton in his closet but over and over again he just seems like he's one of the most decent and accomplished people to come out of tech from the '80s and '90s.
In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...
