So academia dot edu did a podcast of one of SO's papers, without permission (because that's how they do these things), and SO is raging.
The podcast is:
1. Voiced by an AI "white UK male upper class" voice (which is not SO),
2. Confidently wrong about the subject of the paper, and
3. Kinda condescending to the listener (asking twice "do you know what [term]" means, while also mispronouncing one of the terms).
Considering the white male voice being condescending and confidently wrong while stealing the hard work of an expert, I think the AI nailed the podcast format.

> 6 in 10 teachers use AI to grade papers, write lessons — but say it’s making their students stop thinking https://nypost.com/2025/06/25/us-news/6-in-10-teachers-use-ai-to-grade-papers-write-lessons-but-say-its-making-their-students-stop-thinking/
Funny how that works. When the teachers use #AISlop, it's ok, game changer, less work for them. When students use #AI they are lazy, don't think well, take shortcuts, and cheat.
The #ACIP website posted slide decks in advance of their meeting scheduled for later today. CNN reports that the slides were initially posted citing papers that don't exist.

And just as I predicted: Big AI company pirates original source material. Gets fined with a ridiculously small amount of money that they probably burn through in a matter of hours and thus means nothing to them:
"Anthropic, a firm backed by Amazon and Google's parent company, Alphabet, could face up to $150,000 in damages per copyrighted work."
No law system is prepared to deal with the scale of these companies and their financial backing.
This is ridiculous (referring to Linux Journal, not Brodie).
I don’t want to jinx myself, but I have seen reports that Pinterest is being overwhelmed with AI Slop but unless I’m really clueless, I’m not seeing it on my feed. I wonder if there are certain difficult categories. #Pinterest #AISlop
My concerns were right, Linux Journal degraded into another AI slop farm.
Just finished watching this great video piece by John Oliver on his Last Week Tonight show on AI slop and gen AI altogether. It's sad that most companies big and small alike are embracing this BS.

The Oversight Board calls Meta's uneven AI moderation 'incoherent and unjustifiable'
Meta told the board it can't automatically detect AI-manipulated video or audio.

A big win for tech companies, a big loss for human creativity.
Pretty heartbreaking, but the fight goes on.
This is probably the dumbest most ridiculous #AISlop I’ve ever seen.

Nothing that unplugging a few hospitals, nursing homes, a school or two, and some libraries can't fix.

"What a fun way to celebrate the destruction of our shared objective reality"
#LastWeekTonight talking about #AIslop, also dropping fun little facts about the direction #Meta is heading to regarding #AI.
Somehow, it was the last straw for me. It got me here. Hello world!
#JohnOliver on #AIslop: ‘Some of this stuff is potentially very dangerous’
#TheLastWeekTonight host went deep on the creative bankruptcy and long-term concerns over #AI images and videos flooding the #internet
He referred to it as the “newest iteration of #spam” with weird images and videos flooding people’s feed with some people having “absolutely no idea that it isn’t real”.

A very low price to pay considering how much money can be made in the short term by scrappy bootstrappers taking all the risks!

@b_rain Students first need to understand the concept of how langs are scientifically divided into dev. stages over time - not into totally separate langs. Without this, they might wrongly think each stage (like Ancient or Modern Greek) is its own lang. In reality, each lang evolved step by step. All langs dev stages defined are tools for analysis, not hard borders between different langs.
This is not a case of GPT sloppiness, but rather sloppy education.
