Microslop's CEO is on a roll!

Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete. :blobeyes:

Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet. :blobcatgiggle:

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own? :blobcatthink:

Unserious of sorts..

How about letting - guided along by some protocol experts to formulate good prompts - maintain and evolve the open standard specs based on all the info the AI has sucked up from all the FOSS projects that are implementing .

(Note that I am wary of AI for a whole host of reasons, mostly all relating to its disruptive introduction and its potential dehumanising effect, eroding social cohesion and connection between people.)

GenAI, The Snake Eating Its Own Tail: How tools like ChatGPT and Claude are destroying the ecosystems they rely on, and what to do about it ybrikman.com/blog/2026/01/21/g

Great blog post. This one explained how Google, OpenAI and other AI companies killed the open web, which was once made of independent forums, news sites, wikis, blogs, high quality journalism websites, books, and fan fiction or art.

GenAI, The Snake Eating Its Own Tail: How tools like ChatGPT and Claude are destroying the ecosystems they rely on, and what to do about it

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT and Claude have two superpowers. The first superpower is a boon: they can dramatically increase ...

@nixCraftnixCraft 🐧 Tell that to everyone happy to get a little farther ahead than the rest of the pack. They know it sucks, but money.

Even Shark Tank celebrity, Kevin O'Leary, is happy to burn through everyone's futures and lease it back to them. What a guy!

Kevin O'Leary recently announced he hasn't acquired enough wealth yet. So, he wants to acquire the wealth of future generations by robbing the earth of its resources to convert it into a digital currency he favors.

Dollars? Euros? Name you fiat.

They're all symbols of energy converted to cash, a resource from the planet extracted, depleted to represent the value of utility. Not much gold or silver left to mine these days. So, just build your own mountain, and tell everyone else on the planet to bugger of.

Future, is the new gold standard. Not much of a humanitarian that one, but he does have great business chops, doesn't he? 🤑 $$$ 💰 $$$

Destroying the planet for one's own prosperity shouldn't be something to be proud of. These power addicts need an intervention, and fast!

DuckDuckGo has a No AI version: noai.duckduckgo.com. To set it as your default browser in Firefox:

1. Go to Firefox > Settings > Search > Add Search Engine, and enter: noai.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%s
2. Give it a title.
3. Then change your default browser to the new one you created.

It’s not perfect, but it’s so nice not getting AI answers / synopses for every search (and seeing less AI-generated images and web results).

PwC survey finds more than half of 4,500+ biz leaders see no revenue growth nor cost savings. Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

theregister.com/2026/01/20/pwc

A moment of silence for the CEOs who spent trillions on AI, only to realize it’s basically an expensive magic 8 ball that lies to customers most of time. Machine learning scientists warned that an LLM is no smarter than a baby elephant or a kitten. right? yet, you keep burning money on fools' dreams.

I'm Fabio, a software developer originally from based in Toronto. I work mostly with and but I'm always trying new languages and stacks.

I'm very much an skeptic – borderline hater when it comes to AI "art". Yes, I know the tools, hence my opinion.

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
irishtimes.com/business/2026/0

Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! 🤯

I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new programme, Adopt-an-AI. 🤣

What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" 🤡

vibe coding vs AI assisted coding

4/

I tried this myself on a large, complex code base I was unfamiliar with — to try to get that first-hand experience so that I could have an informed opinion. I actually found that use-case useful.

It sped up hours or days of tedious work.

…

I can see how software-engineers would find this particular activity useful — to ask an LLM questions about large, complex, unfamiliar code base.

Another interesting thing is — MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Where software-engineers are creating a type of server. Sort of like a web application server — but it speaks MCP rather than HTTP.

(MCP is just JSON-RPC 2.0 with certain methods communicated over STDIN and STDOUT.)

And, the MCP developer uses an LLM as a type of front-end for their MCP server.

…

That use is NOT Vibe Coding either.

The first thing I did is — I started by paying more attention to how other people are using AI coding tools.

…

One thing I noticed is —

Some users are Vibe Coding —

mastodon.social/@reiver/115639

But, not everyone who uses AI coding tools is Vibe Coding!

Especially the software engineers I looked at who are using AI coding tools. They don't seem to be Vibe Coding — they seem to be using them differently.

vibe coding vs AI assisted coding

1/

8 days ago, I decided I would look closer at some of these AI coding tools.

I don't feel I *need* them — I have been programming for over 30 years, but —

The reason I want to look closer — I want a deeper understanding of them so I can have an informed opinion.

…

I've seen some people cheer them. While others boo them.

I haven't really had an opinion of them — because I lacked any first-hand experience.

So —
