That is because nearly all of nvidia’s revenue comes from AI datacenter hardware now, and before that from crypto miners. As long as CUDA works without issue, their main clients by dollar volume are happy

What flavor is powering these missiles? I must know!

The problem is that, for the property owning class, the unaffordability of homes is broadly a feature and not a bug.

I will engage one more time

When I see something impressive generated by a computer, I may go “wow”, but when I see something, displayed on a computer or not, that I know a person went and handcrafted so many details on, I am inspired by that dedication to the craft. The human elements within art are a big part of what makes it meaningful.

If someone wants to use AI for the parts of a work they don’t care about (or as placeholders) so they can pour their heart into a different aspect of the work, fine. If they want the computer to do all the work for them, they have created slop. This is independent of whether we live in a society that values gross resource accumulation or one that shares equally.

I will say that the push towards slop primarily stems from our societal zeitgeist. The mentality is “I need to make as much money with as little effort as possible”, and sometimes people really do need that money to pay bills. I think that’s a big reason why it’s such a problem. There is little monetary value in actual expression for the effort required when compared with mass produced “content” for dollars.
