Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I run an email server for myself and every once in a while the UCE starts leaking through until I have a few training examples to feed it. In the last couple weeks I noticed that basically all of the escapees look like fancy Claude output for telling me that I should be enticed by Costco gift cards and free chicken sandwiches.
What I suppose this means is that if you use these tools to generate material in the same snappy variety of output template, "but seriously", nonetheless you will eventually reach aesthetic convergence with meaningless spam. Is there a term for this yet? "Slop-ratchet" is the one that sprang immediately to mind but I am sure someone else noticed this tendency long before I did.
