pretty convincing argument to be made that big G invented human web slop AND AI slop, full slop

Yep. They are the Slopfather, basically.

Well I wouldn't say "invented", but I'd agree with "incentivized at scale until it became a cancer on the web"
The weird thing is that YouTube seems to have incentivized a lot of good content. Sure there is "scalable slop" like Mr. Beast, but there is also good content on YouTube (Fall of Civilizations podcast, etc.).
Somehow on the web I am not seeing a lot of good content incentivized by ads. I see a lot of WikiHow-type stuff.
It seems like writing moved to Substack and so forth.

Honestly the readme image bugs me less than the lack of a single end to end example you can actually run.

I always wanted to exponentially grow slop, thank you. The less I understand about what's happening, the better. Totally what I as a user want. Thanks G.
