Anslopic just popped in my head because of this, but I think that’s better as just a jokey name for Claude’s company.

I really like bot rot

They need to come up for a word to describe the unique dread you feel when your realize life is turning into a series of stupid, chatbot conversations.

My work life is already this.

Anyone wanna workshop it with me? How about … slop fatigue? Bot dread? Meat proxy burnout? Agent silo syndrome?

Yep agreed with all of that but I think it costs too much per user to really have an ad based business model.

It’s probably both long term. Ads plus limits. “Buy Google AI Plus to talk to Gemini more.”

Only problem is nobody will pay for it, people don’t even want to use it for free.

I was extremely AI hesitant, but recently I was just like fuck it, I’ll use these tools.

I went on Google AI mode multiple times and I noticed:

1. As long as you aren’t generating images, you can basically do free tokens forever on it.
2. It has no ads.
3. It’s better at finding relevant information than search is.

I found a set of peripherals with it that actually matched my preferences and were not listed on the slop ratings sites. Then I bought it without a hope of Google seeing a red cent from the transaction.

All of this is to say that…they torched their actual business with revenue to give away a largely ad-free thing that’s a money furnace and has such negative public sentiment that it probably gets zero traffic except people that are hooking it up to opencode to get free tokens.

It seriously doesn’t even require you to login. Everything about it is so fucking stupid from a business angle.

For some reason this reminded me of this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zug1B8DSkWw

Which I don’t think is much about being happy to see financial bubbles bust but kinda seems like it could be.

The things that truly “slipped their leash” recently are the fucking tech companies.

Companies are considered innocent until…well, always I guess.

Could Sergey be on it?

It’s cuz we know how terrible we are. And we’re the ones leading it.

Stop running LLMs attached to an unsupervised eval yolo harness in an endless loop you fucking dinguses.

But that’s their whole demographic.

“anonymized”

“feature”

I think this is honestly one of those 100% vs >80% issues. I get that it’s very possible — maybe even easy — to subvert this, but we have had several SITTING POLITICIANS read a fucking AI prompt in the middle of their “big speech” and nobody bats an eye. If they add a measure to outputs that works automatically for 100% of outputs without the people reading it knowing, there’s no chance that it won’t allow you to determine whether or not many outputs are AI.

All of that wannabe AGI horseshit is preventing these things from specialization and becoming more efficient and useful IMO.

In my recent usage of LLMs I’ve come to think of them as a type of eye-poppingly expensive, inefficient interpreter.

Losing a lot of the bullshit could make them efficient and inexpensive. To an extent, that’s what Anthropic has already been doing by making models that are mostly code focused.

Haha

Before he described the noise I was assuming he lived by a highway, because that’s exactly what it sounds like in the video.
