  • I still think you need to present examples that fit your definitions first. Assuming we’re only talking about selectivity here. Also you’ve kind of raised the bar on yourself by stipulating democracy, egalitarianism, etc.

    IMO if you control for selectivity you will find that it’s statistically insignificant and that the success of those examples was due to other factors not how selective they are.

    Like the closest thing I would agree exists is mennonites/etc but you don’t count patriachial and religious.















  • I think everyone banking on the AI bubble bursting and that being the end of AI slop are going to be very, very, disappointed with what is about to happen.

    1. AI is going to keep getting better at things. The existence of AI slop or trash vibe coding has no bearing on future capabilities of these models.

    2. The AI “bubble” is less of a bubble and more of a ball and cup game exchanging real assets. So while the redundancy in stock market valuations is fluff… the data centers, energy production, and computer chips, and robots are not. Those things will still exist after any bubble bursts.

    3. The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy. Their goal with AI is to entirely eliminate the need to pay human labourers. Whoever owns that AI will defacto become the most profitable & powerful entity in the fucking world.

    4. AI will transform warfare and violence on levels on comparable with the invention of projectile weapons and gunpowder. When the AI bubble bursts the Military-Industrial-Complex will simply buy the dip.

    I really don’t like AI… but we can’t afford to turn our brains off at “AI Slop” and not think realistically (or at least pessimistically) about what’s coming next.
