Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 15/04/2025The attention economy is ironclad. One can only consume so much, process so much. Every unit of slop processed means one less unit of quality inputs processed. 1868
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 15/04/2025So the only game in town is for slop producers to say "it's good enough actually." Not better (because it's only better at quantity of outputs, which is a benefit for THEM but not for YOU). Not "worse than humans but the trade-off is worth it" because we know it isn't. Just, good enough. For you. 1917
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 15/04/2025This is why "try harder to find a use for it!" is such a common refrain. It means "find a market for slop" because the only use for AI is to pass the slop onto someone else. "Surely you know some people who will eat this slop. Go find them; otherwise you'll be eating all this slop yourself." 311411
