If you compare AI ‘slop’ with great works of course its easy to dismiss it and bash it. But there is more human crap out there made each day than there is great works. Music, images, video, texts, all of it. For each piece of great work there is that you find, theres hundreds if not thousands of not so great works that are out there. AI works can be anything from 100% no human involvment besides the initial prompt. They can also involve time and work to get the prompt just the way the user wants. It’s going to end up with more people being able to create more things. Not everyone can draw, or play music, or make movies. Not everyone has the time or money to put everything together thats needed to make something like a good song or a good movie. AI tools are going to give more people those chances, and yes there is going to be slop, but theres already been slop for decades that was all 100% human being made, that had no meaning, no symbolism, no clever literay allusions. So what exactly is the problem with people using AI generate something?

They have said some awful, totally not fact supported stuff in the past.

Like?

What exactly would you have them do?

In geopolitics, strongly worded letters (That is, diplomacy) is how most shit gets done. You want them to walk up to the podium and fight the thug? Shit aint as simple, or black&white as being able to do what they can. If they piss off the US they get bitch slap with toddler tariffs, as long as the biggest bullies in the yard hold the stick its really, really fucking hard for the normal sane people to actually do stuff. It’s not like the US has warhawks in office or anything though, so other countries without much political pull should do more…

Yes shit sucks, yes it could be better, and im very sure that the people in power (who actually want to) would be doing more if they could. Its not virtue signalling, its not kayfabe, its not performative. Its diplomacy. Its the difference between two teenagers throwing hands at a disagreement and two adults talking civil and constuctive. Want more to be done, help take the stick away from the bullies.

Sure, but since orgaanised religions can’t help to force others to live by their standards, they need to get out of the way. I’m fine with people needing a comfort measure, even if its in the form of an invisibile friend. Whatever helps people sleep at night. However, when they try to force their ideals down everybody elses throat thats a big no.

So, since they can’t ‘live and let live’ they need to go the way of the dodo, fuck off, and leave the rest of society alone.

Look, I get it. You are mad too, that trump is bringing you all down. However, this isn’t just a trump thing. This isn’t just a now thing. This is something that has been going on for decades, maybe even longer than most of us have been alive. The US is known for being arrogant, ignorant, prideful, and idiotic. Most non-americans have talked to americans online over the years and likely tried to explain what is wrong with their country, healthcare, pay, racism, nationalism etc. Most likely have been met with ‘hate us causee they aint us’, ‘better dead than red’. ‘USA USA USA’, or some other prideful bullshit.

For decades you lot have all looked down on the rest of world, assuming you are doing the best, because you are born in the best country in the universe, raised the best way possible, pledging you allegiance to your flags, drinking up the nationalistic propaganda. For decades. And now, this trump shit has made the rest of the world say, nah fam we don’t like this. And you all have the gall to say. Its not us, dont blame us, we didn’t do it.

Like shit. You guys made the bed, and have been making the bed for decades. Just because it’s been shat in now doesn’t mean you didn’t make it.

Grow up, accept that, deal with it. Get your shit in order, fix it.

Maybe then. In a few decades when the world can see you’ve fixed all systemic problems they might accept you again. Maybe.

So to ensure that a company is more likely to be customer focused, rather than shareholder focused, it’s likely a good idea to only go for companies not listed on the american stock exchanges?
