Bottle water is in reference to giant corporations like nestle privatizing access to clean water.
These corporations usually end up buying up rights to an entire water source and restricting access from locals, even if locals had used the water for generations
Medicine is more about the markup of life saving drugs (at least how I interpreted it). Insulin costs less than 10 dollars to make, but gets marked up to 300 dollars. Insurance doesn't cover it all, so you end up paying most of it out of pocket.
Truly hate this timeline
I've been looking at used PCs and usually those are just missing the gpu, but now I've been seeing no RAM and no SSD. At least with the gpu only being missing it was semi functional if there was integrated graphics, but now you are just basically buying a brick until you can get 3 components that cost 400 or so USD
Ehh there's a lot of low effort content on youtube, but I don't really see that much slop. Most of the low effort ones are just clips usually taken from twitch with minimal editing
Of those 500 videos, 294 were classified as AI slop, a term Kapwing defines as videos with obvious AI-generated visuals or low-quality compilations using clearly AI-generated scripts and voiceovers. The 59 per cent rate is roughly three times the proportion found on YouTube in the same study, making TikTok’s default experience dramatically worse for anyone opening the app for the first time.
I looked up the article the og source referenced, which does say what they defined as ai slop.
The original article isn't helpful because statistics don't mean anything if they don't also define what they're measuring, and they cut the definition short.
What are they classifying as ai slop? Cause in YouTube there is a lot of low effort content that aren't slop, and there is also low effort content narrated by ai that I'd consider slop, and then there is actual ai slop
