Maybe they should stop developing slopware, then...
“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature. (As WC points out, there’s actually growing evidence that AI harms human cognitive ability.)
Going on, Nadella said that we now know enough about “riding the exponentials of model capabilities” as well as managing AI’s “‘jagged’ edges” to allow us to “get value of AI in the real world.”
“Ultimately, the most meaningful measure of progress is the outcomes for each of us,” the CEO concludes, in an impressive deluge of corporate-speak that may or may not itself be AI-generated. “It will be a messy process of discovery, like all technology and product development always is.”
TLDR: That's not what he said and rehashing the same interview in article after article with this frankly clickbait headline is getting old.
Fuck Nadella and his AI bullshit, but could we not keep rehashing this?
i dont care what any CEO wants
I'll stop when it stops being slop.
Probably shouldn't make slop then, huh?
stop making everything about the slop toaster then, shit for brains 
Slopman says what?
so, what's the general feeling? is Nadella a worse CEO than Ballmer?
Ballmer resulted in some good memes
Ballmer was an idiot capitalist who only made exclusive deals to push windows rather than software advancement people actually wanted.
Nadella is doing the same thing but with AI and end user subscriptions.
Copy/pasting a comment I wrote the other day on a post about OneDrive stealing and deleting your files:
I knew back when Windows 10 came out and the lead of their cloud division replaced Ballmer that Windows was gonna turn into a shit show, but in my wildest nightmares I wouldn't have predicted what they're doing now.
I'd say overall Ballmer was still a worse technologist and business man.
ballmer was much funnier and that's the only distinction in ghouls that i can be arsed to care about.
What did we get?
Developers, developers, developers.
Linux is communism
Anything else?
the ballmer peak
one time he was having a tantrum and threw a chair
he had an inherently funny shape, and he was called BALLmer
peak comedy without even trying
I didn't call AI content slop, but I'm gonna start doing it now.
What about diarrhea?
AI-rrhea
No. Sorry, Microslop.
