Got an email for an event called “Slopathon”

These shitstains want people to pay money to go to an event where they judge AI slop created by participants. Adding insult to injury, the “prize” is “a shot at an interview for a ‘real’ job.”

It feels like an oxymoron calling a vibecraft slopathon a "talent showcase"

The top scorers asked the text box better than the others did.

They're trying to own the term so isn't offensive anymore.

You know, if this were left on GPUs and not used as surveillance to control our entire lives, this could be fun. Like an unseriois Pokémon battle. But no everything has to suck

Nah, they'd be a part of the end of culture. "Hey we can prompt this thing and get it to spit out a 2hr movie for like $10k of tokens, we don't even need to hire people to do stuff."

Thats wild to think a GPU daemon can end all of human culture.

"Slopathon" sounds like satire, but this doesn't seem to be.

What if you entered something not made by AI and happened to win?

"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.
