George MackGUEST
Taste in particular is a word that you can say, and I get to say how high status I am by going, the thing that's really important in 2026 is taste, and you fucking peasants don't have any fucking taste.
George MackGUEST
Slop's like the inverse of that, where somebody can just say the word slop now, with no definition of why they mean slop.
George MackGUEST
It's kind of like in a less emotionally charged way, but like the word racist or sexist, that you can just throw it around now.
George MackGUEST
You can throw it around willy-nilly.
Jack ButcherGUEST
And a lot of people think that that is like if any tool that has like... an incredible amount of power was used, you're giving up some agency.
Jack ButcherGUEST
And I think that's like the- Done without taste.
Jack ButcherGUEST
Slop is done without taste.
Jack ButcherGUEST
And like the way that these things are trained, it's like the Claude, there's like textbook, like little marks on there that if you did not guide this with a certain amount of intention, it's just going to show up every time.
EthosHOST
I'm about to milk this.
The Black HokageHOST
And my second co-host dove headfirst into the sea of AI slop to sacrifice her mental health to find you the best demos to come out of the Steam Next Fest.
The Black HokageHOST
Miss 5,000 Watts, say what up.
5000WattsHOST
hello hello yes uh the world is upset with ai slop games except for a certain ceo i think you should take them all and harbor them a safe home to keep them away from me
The Black HokageHOST
indeed indeed indeed and last but not least is the man that turns into the incredible hulk when you have to do on rails helicopter shooting sections in video games utx you won't like me when i'm mad the dons hey
JGHOST
everybody that was watching tbh stream you saw what happened man that was some i'm with some bull man i don't know what's going on with act five but we're running into some jank for sure run into some jank uh nba season is starting i know tbh is happy uh the heat are on three but the wizards the wizards are surging and it's all without aj too man so you should be happy they should be proud they should be proud yeah and they said there was an a shot
29 MINS LATER
EthosHOST
It is what it is.
EthosHOST
But I think some people will genuinely.
Neil PasrichaHOST
I'm like, where's the lines here on where we use AI, how we use AI, future of reading related to this? There's a word I heard the other day.
Neil PasrichaHOST
Slop Grenades? Yeah, AI Slop.
Neil PasrichaHOST
Did you hear about that? I mean, AI Slop, I get it all the time.
Neil PasrichaHOST
What's your writing process? How does AI fit into your current writing process? How did it used to? How is it going to? And what's the future of reading and of books? Because there's a current conversation happening in the Zeitgeist.
Neil PasrichaHOST
You've probably seen like cover stories in the Atlantic and so on, the death of reading, the demise of reading.
OllieHOST
Yeah, NextFest, right.
OllieHOST
Now, this has caused a lot of controversy, this one, because of the amount of AI slop...
OllieHOST
I have heard.
OllieHOST
...that's in the NextFest.
OllieHOST
It does have online co-op apparently.
OllieHOST
Is
TristanHOST
that the only thing that's differentiating it between AI slop and non-AI slop?
OllieHOST
No, I was just seeing whether it was some single-player board game for this.
Matt BrownHOST
Yeah.
Matt BrownHOST
This is what's called AI slop.
Matt BrownHOST
And then that goes back into feeding the algorithm again, doesn't it?
Stephen MurrayHOST
It does.
Todd BrandtHOST
No more us.
Todd BrandtHOST
And it's now 104 AI Slop.
Todd BrandtHOST
Yeah, it's just crap.
Todd BrandtHOST
So if you are in parts of Lincoln where the Z92 signal comes in from Omaha, you can do that.
Brian ChildressGUEST
right?
Saumitra KalikarHOST
And there is always this risk of what's called as AI slop, right? Where The code is generated, but not necessarily it could be of highest quality, right? What are the practices emerging in the engineering world which ensures that the quality is maintained? The second thing is there is a method to how you use AI to build a software, write the code, for example, there are best practices emerging around spec-driven development and others.
Saumitra KalikarHOST
And I want you to understand that picture holistically as to what are those practices and patterns emerging which will help us in directives to avoid that AI slop in the first place.
Brian ChildressGUEST
I think it, again, it comes back to good, strong engineering practices in general, the things that we should have always had, the things that we always wanted to have in every project that we've ever worked on.
Brian ChildressGUEST
And for me, that's always been good foundation, good patterns that are established very early on that are enforced, that every developer kind of follows as the project grows and evolves.
Linus SebastianHOST
entire organizations building tools for people to mass produce these AI channels and this AI content.
Linus SebastianHOST
So many of them are ripping off Fern's visual aesthetic and Fern's style that... people who don't know better are accusing Fern of being AI slop because all the AI slop looks like his original style
Luke LafreniereHOST
That's so brutal.
Luke LafreniereHOST
That's happened with artists too.
Luke LafreniereHOST
There's some models that seem to be over-trained on one particular artist, so everyone thinks that artist is just AI slop stuff now, and it's like, well, no, that's just kind of what they did.
Luke LafreniereHOST
It's
Linus SebastianHOST
interesting.
Linus SebastianHOST
You know, what does that look like, right? Does that look like YouTube, you know, not only disabling the monetization, but also, you know, changing the terms of the partner program so that you have to wait some number of months, you have to wait six months, you have to wait a year to actually withdraw any money.

And he says,
Anthony GallegosHOST
what's your take on the current awful worsening game storefront discovery experience for Steam? This year's Steam Next Fest looks like a giant pile of AI slop.
Anthony GallegosHOST
Is it possible for storefronts to implement a more curated human experience similar to a bygone era like Xbox Live Arcade or something like that? More and more I'm relying on podcasts to help with game discovery.
Anthony GallegosHOST
First off, Steam can't probably curate games based on whether or not they used AI because that requires people to do the AI disclosure.
Elaine BurkeGUEST
So they are literally just building massive, big data centers.
Elaine BurkeGUEST
They have a huge amount of them in the world just for advertising technology and now to turn that data into AI slop.
Elaine BurkeGUEST
And they also, I'm really going hard on meta today, but they really annoy me.
Graeme MerriganHOST
