My new startup idea: “upload the same release with a different version and build number about once a month till the end of times" as a service.

My new startup idea: malicious compliance as a service

You forward us complaint emails and we create some AI slopscript that fulfils the least compliant interpretation of the rule it can think of.

The goal would be to use automated nonsense to try to frustrate MBAs who have managed to burrow all the way to the brain of a tech giant and are now burdening humanity with their folly.

You can ask apple for all the Training that you will need for that.

They're ahead of you.

They're already using AI slop to come up with these rules in the first place, to verify compliance, and to respond to your complaints.

It's AI slop all the way down.

And the shittier things are, the more raise they get for successfully moving the needle of utilization of AI in the business model.

Now I’m envisioning a future where nothing works and everything is halted endlessly because it is being handled by LLMs talking to LLMs, which summarize things so that other LLMs make a decision that gets expanded to a huge text with inconsistencies that in the end don’t make sense anymore.
