Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 11/11/2024Yes, it's possible for an individual user to choose to behave well at every step of the way. But when your system makes it far easier and more rewarding to behave badly, that's what people are going to do! 1322
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 11/11/2024Btw this is pretty much the only reason LLM tools have gotten any traction - they create a path of least resistance towards churning out slop, for systems that have a slop-shaped hole eternally in need of filling. On the web - social. In b2b - consulting. 2506
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 11/11/2024As soon as the slop machine meets a system without that hole, it's powerless. It's why you'll see tons of LLM-generated posts on Linkedin advertising people's LLM-generated newsletters and podcasts - but none on Bluesky. 1230
