I like to think of every organization being a magic box.
- 3 inputs [I] : people, capital and tangible assets
- 2 outputs [0] : products and services
The rest is just context.
Occasionally a post on Daring Fireball reads something like this:
After being sold out for months, the upcoming sponsorship schedule at DF is unusually open at the moment—especially this week!
I don’t sell sponsorship, I sell me, but at the highest level we both trade in what we might call perishable inventory;
- A hotel room not sold on Monday night can’t be sold Tuesday.
- John can’t sell this week’s sponsorship next week.
- If I don’t bill today I can’t catch up tomorrow.
I’ll be back with some more thoughts, but for now, I’m just letting this lie.
🎈148/366 Talking about ‘series’ .. as we are in the process of closing out ‘May’ - I finally got round to updating my 🖇️ 🔎 366 series
🎈142/366 A Bucket Of Slop
I am well aware that despite my years long campaign to stop people from describing their words, articles, photographs, thinking … beliefs, soul … Intellectual Property even … ‘content’ … they continue to… unabated.
But I am not giving up …
That said - there are people that ‘get it’. (Though I will freely admit that we are also in the minority there!)
Meanwhile the ‘bot farms that have been delivering the real content (sic) to our uncurated feeds and inboxes have been gearing up for the AI revolution - and indeed as reported in many places are already shaping our ’thinking’. (I use the word loosely.)
Imagine then my delight to read that ‘Slop is the new name for unwanted AI-generated content’.
Sidebar - if you don’t know what a ‘bucket of slop’ is - ‘Slop is the new name for unwanted AI-generated content’.
Perfect.
Slop is also a name given to what is left at the bottom after any of the remotely useful homogenized content that has been stored in a silo has been removed.
The trick now is going to be how readers will be able to spot the slop - given that they already have difficulties separating content from any kind of value.
Read the whole piece …

… and hat tip to John Gruber who referenced this post on Daring Fireball.
I have referenced 🔎 🖇️ The UNDaunted on this blog a few times. On a call this morning - and we are going live in two weeks . Letting a few friends and family in early. If you are into Social Impact - you are going to love The UNDaunted. Hit me up in whatever way makes sense to learn more.
I just worked out how to add captions to my images on my blog like🖇️ here for example.
I adjusted my TextExpander template for future 🖇️ 🔎 366 posts.
I need to decide if I should go back and fix all the posts published in 366 thus far?
What’s the name of that psychological problem again?
It has taken a couple of days (and gos), but I am beginning to get my new series settled in. Still some tweaks to go - and there is a BIG fix needed on the site around syndication - but nearly there.
🔗 Russell Brand: In Plain Sight review – so many red flags ignored for so long.
From demeaning sexual remarks on radio to offering his assistant naked to Jimmy Savile, every disturbing detail of this cogent documentary makes it mind-boggling that these alleged abuses have taken so long to surface.
Exactly.
I am no fan of Brand … as I have 🖇️ 🔎 previously touched on … so this comes as no surprise. Of course, I have no idea of the truth and we don’t yet know the story … but where there’s smoke etc etc.
