How many times has the tactic of saying "Stop calling it that!" ever worked on the internet?
ah yeah, zero, in fact it almost always has the opposite effect & makes it spread even more, I feel there might even be a name for this kind of effect hmmm :)

Hey everyone! The CEO of Microsoft REALLY thinks you should stop calling genAI output “slop”. Which is a strong sign it’s really getting to them. Touching a nerve. They want to be legitimized. So please make an extra concerted effort to CONTINUE TO RIGHTLY CALL IT SLOP.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.
GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.
Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.
“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.
Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.
