After 31 years Salon is ceasing publication. The online journalism game is obviously nothing like it was when they started back in 1995. Yikes I’m old.

    At some point - hopefully soon - people will realize that LLMs simply can’t make anything new. They’re amazing at making derivative work, but that’s about it.

        I mean… when you consider that the bulk of the world’s work products are produced by totally average people, not amazing ones, an LLM spits out completely average derivative work at an extremely high rate. Think slop speed, not slop quality (and for me, 90% of bio-slop and machine-slop are interchangeable)
