If we think of it as formulaic, carelessly assembled content fitted against a local optimum, MrBeast is the pioneer of slop. Long before we had LLMs, Jimmy churned out what we would call slop today, and became rich with it. (This has been your depressing thought of the day.)

YouTube iOS keeps bouncing me between two buckets in their A/B Testing and the subscriptions button moves from the tab bar to some top menu and back every few days.

Hank Green being "cancelled" is a deeply weird purity test to me. When he was less than critical about AI marketing claims that was fine, but using a perfectly normal half sentence ("let me push back on this") and just searching for papers to read with ChatGPT is somehow unacceptable. 🤯

One arrest at the Nazi protest against Pride, multiple arrests at the leftist Internationalist Pride, and a murderer managed to break through a police barricade and drive a van into the big pride event without being stopped or caught. Berlin’s cops and politicians have made their priorities clear.

It occurs to me so much major market news frames events the same way our corrupt politicians do: people are saying, questions are raised, etc. Statements which they see as helping maintain power, and which are perhaps true, but broadly meaningless except through cynical, conspiratorial implication.

I feel relieved when Germany exits a World Cup. I feel with those genuinely enjoying soccer and identifying with "their" team, but when I see just how much public excitement drops after Germany is out, it seems like this is heavily an exercise in national pride. And that alienates me quite a bit.
