Well, I saw a report on Fox News &amp; a man in a nice suit said everyone with a big penis does Dumb Shit so we're all gonna do it now because it's the Future.</p><p>I know it might suck. I know it's completely unrelated to most of your jobs. But I heard a trend and I would sooner run this company into the ground and micromanage every second of your life than seem uncool to people I will never meet.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shopify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shopify</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slop</span></a></p>

As people. For people.<br>AI can be a part of it, and will be a part of it. We do that but learning. Not by becoming dependent through a false promise of convenience or productivity. Belief is not a route to knowledge. Faith gives away power (that is not a criticism of faith, it is an epistemological point).</p><p>We have wandered into a world where learning is rebellion. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LearningIsRebelion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearningIsRebelion</span></a>.

Veronica Olsen 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇴🌻<p>I'm not sure how it is for other topics, but when it comes to programming topics, I keep finding more and more AI slop on "developer" blogs. It's getting to the point where finding helpful content is more and more difficult. I guess because the people who don't actually care about knowledge can spew slop at a much higher rate than people who produce quality content.</p><p>Dev blogs used to be a decent supplement to library docs. Not really any more. 😒 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Slop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Slop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blog</span></a></p>
