The distance between the promise and the reality really is huge. On some level I wished they'd just promise less, because it's not like LLMs compleatly useless. I don't find much use in them, but some clearly do. They do them. But since the entire economy has apparently bet the farm on AI, underpromising isn't really an option, while underdelivering is a problem for future Microslop and co.

I see you watched the recent Gamer's Nexus video!
Is that the original source? I've seen it a few different places, but what really sold me on it was a post Foone reposted on Bluesky.[1]
I've called them Microshaft before, but given their whole pivot into AI (might be a stretch to call it that, but close enough), Microslop certainly feels like a good name.
