Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This is 100% going on the work teams chat as soon as it's relevant. (not long)

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

The moment I saw this name a month or so ago I was really really really hopeful it would catch on. This is great.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

Its spelled microsloth

i didnt know Microslop had a discord

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago* (last edited 5 minutes ago)

Plot Twist: Someone should make a discord server (or whatever) called Microslop that helps people with problems in their products.

[–] TheSambassador@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Honestly this was my biggest "wtf" takeaway from this. There's a Microsoft Copilot DISCORD SERVER? Are there other "official" Discord servers for other random Microsoft products? Why aren't they using Teams or whatever?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

even Microslop knows teams is a terrible communications platform.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago

Maybe they haven't made an API for ICE in Teams yet

Solution from the old ones: We used to replace the S with a $ sign in Microsoft (or Microshaft, or "Microfos" (Microshit) if you're Hungarian), so if you're writing it as Micro$lop, you get a few days evasion.

(Reason behind the abandonment of Micro$oft/Micro$haft/whatever: Windows 7, Linux and its community was much worse back then, "maybe not all companies are bad" sentiment popular in the early 10's, people suddenly thought all the crap Micro$lop did were conspiracy theories, etc.)

Not sure if it works on Discord but another old-school trick is Micro**slop

italicizing nothing creates an invisible break in the word

Here in Italy we used the winzozz calssifier. A portmanteu of "windows" and "zozzo" "sozzo" that stands for dirty, unpolished or allusive. Have fun with this lore drop

[–] Janx@piefed.social 23 points 5 hours ago

Anything but address the core issue. Consumers overwhelmingly see almost no benefit from AI, are sick of it being stuffed into everything, sick of being forced to use it at work, sick of being forced to fund it in our retirement accounts, sick of our water being used for it in the datacenters they're building, and sick of consumer products being out of stock or skyrocketing in price because of it... Banning a word won't solve any of that!

[–] LostWanderer@fedia.io 8 points 5 hours ago

LOL All they need to do is stop pushing what they call "AI" into everything they make, turn it into a opt-in only feature, allowing people to remove every fucking bit of Coslop from their PCs. They don't want to because it would prove what they already know: Microslop is a Sloperator and admitting the truth would be temporarily painful to their earnings. Fixing things would take far too long, so Microslop would prefer to not do that work. Satya needs to get over it and admit defeat.

You know, the CEO could basically end "microslop" over night. Kill their AI division and investments and for the most part people would stop calling them microslop. They got the name after the CEO complained about the use of the word slop for AI slop.

Idk, this is just me, some regular dude not being paid enough to own 7 homes and a vacation home for when I need to get away.

something something bootstraps, something something work harder

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 27 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If Windows 11 detects that you said, typed, or thought of the word "microslop" it deletes all your data, and sends your personal data to the ~~CIA~~ Grok that then promptly sends you to your nearest gulag.

[–] 31ank@ani.social 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No no grok threatens you with publishing fake porn of you

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 hours ago

... I think that's just regardless.

(But I hate how I'll have to explain to ppl which porn of mine isn't fake.)

Well well well, if it isn't Microslop suffering the consequences of its own stupid choices.

[–] schroedingersKoala@piefed.ca 34 points 8 hours ago

I mean, it really earned, that name, you know: MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP! MICROSLOP!
Maybe their CEO Slopya Nutella should not be so thin skinned? He is to majorly blame for 99% of this MICROSLOP!

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 hours ago

switch. to. linux.

[–] Vieric@lemmy.world 46 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If it bugs them that badly, I say people need to do it even more.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 23 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If they hate it so much, that's how I'll always refer to them from now on.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

There's a lovely browser plugin that automagically changes "Microsoft" to "Microslop" and "Satya Nadella" to "Slopya Nutella" and I'm never uninstalling it now!

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago

The idea of Microsoft operating a Discord channel is funny and pathetic on so many levels.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 27 points 8 hours ago

Streisand effect shit. Stop being slop if you don't want to be called slop.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 58 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

This answer feels very "do you guys not have phones?".

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 89 points 11 hours ago (20 children)

…Who would be in the Microsoft Discord? Why?

Wasn’t there some old internet saying that once megacorps join a social media platform en masse, it’s uncool? What happened to that?
