Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.

Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

Given the opportunity, I would, with alacrity, revert to using via a on a -11/780 running #4.3BSD. I dare say there is much good that could be done with that setup—especially in today's age.

It is not that I detest modernity, but that I adore .

This is disgusting. Amazon are using AI to scrap little businesses websites for products they sell that aren't available through Amazon. Then they are listing them on Amazon to buy without the consent of the seller!

Microsoft's "north star" for porting C and C++ to Rust with AI is "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code." If that engineer has no other responsibilities, that is about 0.6 lines per second to review... or not. May what is to come reflect on Microsoft and not Rust.
