Don’t worry, it’s not my usual rant. Just a very funny piece of standup that needs to be watched more than it has.

🎈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.

Not complaining now - but seriously the last adjustments were only last weekend!
GREAT job @manton

If Craft is the Word/Doc online equivalent to what Google Docs had the opportunity to be.
And Airtable is the Excel/Numbers online equivalent to what Google Sheets had the opportunity to be.
Then
What is the Powerpoint/Keynote online equivalent to what Google Slides had the opportunity to be?
Figma, Miro and Canva don’t seem to be it?
🎈136/366 Translating A Transcript
German Language Podcast.
In 🍎 Podcasts - you can see the German language transcription.
BUT - you can’t copy the whole thing.
Looks like you can.
But you can’t.
I use software to record meetings.
Ooh I thought.
Play the podcast - and record - at end of podcast one german transcription. Run that through a translator and voila … or so I thought.
I did an experiment - thankfully.
What the software actually seems to have done is taken the german audio and decided as best it could as to what the german audio was saying - as if it was English.
This was the transcription ..
