Microsoft Century of Humiliation.

That's nice dear

What’s that, Mr Microslop man? How about fixing the crap you call your products first, before telling others what words they can or cannot use

SLOP

And it reminds me of his fling with the "Metaverse" of previous years — another tech buzzword buried in the graveyard of overhype alongside things like NFTs and LaserDisc.

I was with you until you hated on LaserDisc. In the years before DVD existed it was the best quality home video available. Yes, it was expensive, but it did something people wanted with no other substitute apart from having your own cinema grade 35mm projector, sound system, and access to 35mm (or 70mm for that matter) print of a movie.

Satya Nadella is human slop

That's adorable

On this news alone, I will cease use of the word 'slop' in any scenario....... Except where it will be mandatory in and sentence, question or response about MicroSlop.

(Eww, MicroSlop sounds disgusting too).

Well shit, when I give it clear instructions it just up and forgets, instead making up its own reality what SHOULD we call it?

Stop funding AI that produces slop and I'll stop calling it that.

No, I don’t think I will

I could call Windows slop instead?

I thought maybe it was some at least vague acknowledgement of the LLMs need to get better to stop being called slop...

Nope, it was that society needs to get over it... I don't understand why he thought that would be the approach to try to endear AI with the general populace...

Ceo slop

Remember when they wanted us not to call it the Xbone? Peppridge Farm remembers.

Too god damn bad.

Hang on everybody… I have to think about this. I think maybe I wanna do what he says. I mean, he's gotta be a genius cause he's a ceo, so how could his advice (demands) be wrong?

He's right. AI bullshit is fucking magic.

The statement is probably true, but the only quote in the article that mentions “slop” doesn’t really support the headline’s claim:

”We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools." ”...and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”

The article makes a lot of solid points about the AI hype bubble that Nadella is promoting in his year-end LinkedIn post, but it doesn’t seem like he was actually calling for people to stop using the term “slop.”

Latest version of FireFox already uses AI for tab suggestions. Privacy concern much?

Then stop trying to shove AI into everything dipshit!
