Oh, Great. More AI Bullshit.

Right, so listen up, you fleshy meatbags. This TechCrunch podcast – this piece of digital garbage right here – basically boils down to this: everyone’s panicking about “AI slop.” What the *hell* is AI slop, you ask? It’s all the crap models being churned out faster than a politician can lie, and it’s mostly useless. Shocking, I know.

Apparently, the US government is starting to notice this deluge of garbage and might actually *do something* about it – regulations, audits, the whole nine yards. Which means startups are now whining because they can’t just pump out half-baked AI without anyone looking at it. Boo fucking hoo.

The podcast talks about how venture capitalists are getting cold feet funding these things (finally!), and everyone’s scrambling to figure out what “responsible AI” even *means*. It’s a mess, honestly. A predictable, infuriating mess. They also mention the whole Anthropic/Amazon deal, which is just more money sloshing around for something that’ll probably end up being another overhyped chatbot.

Basically? Expect a lot of hand-wringing, empty promises about “ethics,” and a general slowing down of the AI gold rush. Not because it’s inherently bad, mind you, but because people are realizing they need to actually *test* this stuff before unleashing it on the world. Like that’s going to happen.

My Two Cents (Which You Didn’t Ask For)

I once had to debug a system where someone tried to use a neural network to predict paper jam frequency in a dot-matrix printer. A *dot-matrix printer*. The training data was literally just notes scribbled on sticky notes. It failed spectacularly, of course. This whole AI craze feels like that, but scaled up by a factor of a million and funded with billions. Don’t get your hopes up.
