This. The rush to market GenAI has created a muddy understanding of AI in general. Distinguishing slop from usefulness ought to be the task of those who cover it, but alas.

Adam P. Knave @adampknave.com · 2d

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

This is a very thoughtful, easily understandable take on how and why gaming outlets can and should be critical of Microsoft for their active role in apartheid and genocide.

Feels bad being kind of useless with so much going on, but my wife is amazing and handled the kid stuff today. Hoping to be functional tomorrow.

Fucked my back up pretty good, but at least I got to grind Lies of P on PS4 all night!
