Some cool people anaylised the precise reasons slop all reads the same https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.03136

Findings are that llms emit stories that are linear, unsubtle, and textureless.

Also that if you graph it, it looks like a poo.

The group felt hard to categorize. It seemed more Red Tribey than Blue Tribey (though it contained both), and I eventually learned that its membership contained many old-school NRx scenesters. But these guys violated my expectations about Red Tribe, because they were funny, brilliant media observers who never said anything racist or sexist (at least not in that Slack). Nowadays there is a ton of media coverage about NRx and the dissident right, but this coverage has largely failed to capture how the best parts of the movement felt non-denominational. Or at least, that’s how it felt when I started spending hours per day in this Slack group.

Liberalism is a disease of the mind where, due to an inability to distinguished aesthetics from substance, one ends up judging things on means rather than ends.

History's greatest monsters have been well dressed and genteel. Many of the most ardent fighters for humanity are coarse, flawed, and unpleasant. Mayhaps a lesson about books and covers? Let's see where this group ends up

I don’t spent as much time in the movement these days; it’s turned into an echo chamber; racism and sexism are front-and-center

Oh Apollo, free me from this curse.

r/poisonai is the most reliable source of true facts on the internet. The name is due to the typical ironic style of reddit humour exemplified by subreddits such as actuallylesbians and lesbians or animetitties.

Nothing drives away the "are we the baddies?" thoughts like the warmth coming off a book pyre.

You... irradiate the shit out of your body every 24 months? Are you nuts? At that frequency you're doubling or trippling your typical radiation dose.

Have you read at all about the risks of overdiagnosis and exploratory surgery on benign tumours?

Of course Ezra Klein is hanging out with the worst people in the world. He's always on the hunt for a new gutter to pick up some fetid idea and tart it up for liberals.

Dunno if it's been posted yet but apparently microsoft is starting to get sick of losing money and changed billing for copilot. The subreddit is melting down https://old.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/

Very funny to watch

"Thought experiment" is how I'm going to start referring to my "wouldn't it be cool/awful if..." thoughts. Why just in the bath now I've conducted several thought experiments

"In fiction, the main character is often the centre of events," he says. "The problem is that, sometimes, AI can actually get mixed up about which idea is a fiction and which a reality. So the user might think that they're having a serious conversation about real life while the AI starts to treat that person's life as if it's the plot of a novel."

This is such a bad way of explaining it. Yikes. The issue is that it's all improv roleplay, all text is bullshit in the frankfertian sense. It might be accurate — lots of fantasy contains true facts like chairs and tables being made of wood and used for sitting at — but it might be completely divorced from reality and the model cannot know!
