Culture (which includes the public web) has been slop for a long time. Motivated, not cheap, content, is the problem. Cheap is a good dimension. Strong position on humanity: humans give themselves superpowers, transhumanity.
My friend nostr:npub1fnnxzzdzaw4a0j5y25wjukmwlaqfe6heugf78hqxrs2ulpx3tyxqe9vk8n is calling the art generated with ai SLOP, but I would go further to say as compute drops in prices along with desire to feed AI (LLMS) outstripping the entirety of the Internet, there will be two results:
- The Public Web becomes SLOP
- Those who were advocates of the Open Web will see this end as people who maintain a strong position on humanity, will close off their knowledge from this consumption cycle and take advantage of the cheap compute to grow their own control over self.

Right, pop culture is the real slop, but at least the new SLOP has a signature look 😉
Right, I re-disconnected from streaming platforms when realized that the content turned my kid into a zombie and was moving towards auto-generated, aka infinite-viewing.
It was at that point that I realized my kid would watch the show until end of life that I got way more aggressive on getting her offline strong.
