Perhaps the most offensive thing to me of all, is that these LLM-loving AI-boosting idiots who perpetuate falsehoods like 'AI can read minds with fMRI' and 'AI can magically find vulnerabilities' and 'AI will cure cancer' is that we have known this is bullshit for years.
Years.
IBM Watson was launched as a magical cure-all in 2013. By 2022 it had been pulled from everything because despite years of 'refining' and 'training,' following it would have killed over 50% of patients. At it's best.
Wow! It's fucking nothing! https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/22/anthropic_mythos_hype_nothingburger/
One reason I have follow requests turned on just manifest itself:
A no-name news account sent me a follow request, so of course I check it out. It's a no-escape aggregator whose own website is structured like the worst aspects of social media, and whose about-page proudly boasts its content as AI slop.
No, thank you. If I wanted to drown in oceans of either terrible news or terrible slop, I wouldn't be here. And frankly, newsy sloperator, neither should you.
