This is my feeling as I’m discovering YouTube music suggestions ai slop. I don’t want to wonder if it’s ai slop or not.
Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

![Use CBC News sources where
possible. How did the recent LA
fires start?
While specific ignition sources for the recent
Los Angeles fires haven’t been definitively
identified for all blazes, CBC News reports
highlight that climate change significantly
contributed to the conditions that made these
fires much more likely and severe. [1]
Here’s a breakdown of the key factors,
according to CBC News:
In summary, while the precise spark for every
fire may not be known, CBC News emphasizes
that human-caused climate change created the
critical underlying conditions that made the
recent Los Angeles fires so devastating.

Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

Last month, we reported that the IRS was preparing a system that would share millions of taxpayers' data with ICE.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
