Can we settle on Slop Decade?

I guess it's too late for an "Eternal sunshine of the slopless mind"?
Eternal Sloptember
One can dream there's a way out...
Roblox is leading the charge, makes me think of the Adventure Time episode where Beemo goes into the VR pod
I propose a "proof of quality" consensus mechanism. :-)
Sounds great -- let me fire up my agent swarm to get started on orchestrating the development of a planning spec.
Have your agent contact my agent, we will never be in touch
You won the internet today sir. At least for this geezer you did.
I like Macroslop because it pokes fun at the company who dislikes their new pet name so much they ban people for using it
Into the Slopverse.
Shallow dismissals are not permitted on this site as per its rules.
Not everything is worthy of a 5000 word Atlantic-style deconstruction when presented. I think the community largely embraces Hitchens' Razor. That being the case what is the minimum word count required to issue a dismissal?
Please. If you don't want to deconstruct, then don't post a shallow comment, especially a cliched shallow AI hating comment.

As for Hitchen's razor, when it does apply, it applies implicitly, with no need for a comment or explicit mention.

I think not. Your position would have us choose between leaving obvious bullshit totally unchallenged or trying to sail upwind into the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle. I, for one, reject both options and am perfectly comfortable with others expressing their disdain succinctly. Tl;dr: pffft.
You will just have to hear the rule from the site admin, although the cost then to you could be higher.

It is not "bullshit" as you said it, since no real argument was made that it is. Hitchen's razor applies to your claim.

"You will just have to hear the rule from the site admin, although the cost then to you could be higher."

I doubt that. My engagement with HN is on a level of morbid curiosity bordering on naked disdain. If n-gate was still a thing I probably would have quit checking the site altogether some years ago.
