When I say "slop is how we win", I don't mean millions of badly designed or badly programmed apps will benefit humanity. What I mean is the more ideas we have, the more free we will be.
These ideas may have qualified as slop when we started this adventure, but that's not entirely the case now. Look at what vibe coders built two a two years ago. Look at what they're building now.
Agents and LLMs are getting better. Design and code is getting better.
Keep building.
I can feel the freedom. Can you?

I think the proliferation of AI slop particularly in content might actually get people off the internet and into the real world a bit more.
Perhaps. It would need to get so bad that the only way to communicate without the AI onslaught would be to seek IRL places.

Freedom to create is not necessarily the same thing as sovereignty over what we create and use.
Why isn't it? Build what you want to use. Create your own tools.
I have also said this
I think this will become most apparent when large services start pissing people off at scale. I envision many competitors starting up with relatively low cost, forcing the current market holders to keep their shit tight. It's getting easier to replace things. We win either way.
No, it's fucking slavery.
It would be frankly ironic if instead of the prophesied metaverse, humanity actually moves back to the real world.
