seaweed? i do that every fucking time i start a new character

as usual, rin, I am dying to know more, mostly because i also do not remember Bloodmoon

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSXo... this video is 16 years old so there is a very real chance someone who follows me has never seen it before, you're welcome

this is way more circular than i meant it to be. i just meant to say that yea, the incentives to separate oneself from AI 'slop' despite the fact that lots of ppl who use these platforms match the definition of 'slop' are hopefully self evident, & analagous to the 'small business' phenomenon

oh for sure. my intent is merely to point out that there's an obvious economic incentive to treat AI 'slop content' as somehow other or unique: there is an economic class systemically motivated to do

see also: the inevitable commenters already going "well it pays the bills for the little guy! :(" as if the startup capital to reliably be an independent influencer doesn't require you to be upper middle class

speculatively, there's also bound to be an element that people who try to make viral content e.g. 'influencers' conceive of themselves as Good Small Business and anyone able to play the cost-benefit numbers game with AI as Evil Corporation Edging In
