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.”

“AI talent” is an oxymoron.

“Slopathon” sounds like satire, but this doesn’t seem to be. What if you entered something not made by AI and happened to win?

They’re trying to co-opt the dissent against their garbage by taking the insult and wearing it proudly. Fucking fascist pigs sticking up for their friends in the files!

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

Slopethon is what we call your mother, AI.
