Glad to see #Sloptimization is starting to catch on
#sloptimization
@maxread.info on #sloptimization: "'slop' is that which is 'fully optimized' to its domain to the point of texturelessness or characterlessness ... where all or most other players in the same space adopt the same strategies".
Online reaction economies are largely driven by outrage, cringe & paranoia. As #AISlop is optimized to generate engagement, its emerging genres can probably be best distinguished by the ways they prompt specific affects & trigger certain reactions (including pseudo-forensic readings) #Sloptimization
Some #Reddit moderators say a surge of #AISlop on the site is eroding its authenticity and could lead to a feedback loop of AI models training on #AI content

This human has a way with words - will #sloptimization catch on as a hashtag as widely as the sadly ubiquitous #aiSlop?
#AISlop is a product of recursive optimization, of prediction algorithms no longer only used for distribution, but for production of content. It's reaction economies and recommendation logics feeding back onto themselves, social media feeds turned into feedback loops. Let's call it #sloptimization
From Joe Burns:
"The Year is 2026
The Sloppening is upon us
The internet is pure sludge
Scrollslop.
Bingeslop.
Baitsplop.
Spamslop.
We've sloptimized ourselves into oblivion"
