Toby Geeks Out!

I have been thinking about it a lot lately.

The internet is indeed flooding with AI slop.

“You cannot separate the platforms from the people making the AI. Do I trust [tech companies] to have the right compass about AI? No, not at all.” — Jeremy Carrasco

The companies selling us the mops are the same ones leaving the faucet running. They profit from the mess, then charge us for the cleanup.

“Human creativity is one of the most important things we have in the world. And if AI drowns that out, what do we have left?” — Rosanna Pansino

Who’s actually motivated to fix this?
