Zvi Mowshowitz says scanning for AI filler has ruined his tolerance for generic corporate writing

@TheZvi i had the exact same thing lol, i tried to read it 3 times and couldn't ever like be bothered to follow it

@TheZvi wow i had the exact same feeling. ceo-slop is such a fuckin recognizable vibe

@RISignal @TheZvi It's reams of slop paragraphs to say "businesses need employees still". If you're impressed by this stuff that's on you buddy

@TheZvi yep this was good old fashioned buzzword corpo slop

@TheZvi It was written to go viral on LinkedIn

@TheZvi That’s too bad, because his core point is actually quite substantive. Whether it’s AI-generated content or politics, we can’t just talk past one another because the framing makes us feel uncomfortable.

@SethBurn Indeed.

Same!! If anyone does get it: pls ELI5 because this is my best guess summary:

- natural intelligence = good - don't be locked into 1 model (is this a thing still?) - spend more $ on RL of stochastic "knowledge-work conveyor belts" that dream & turn ideas -> code + spreadsheets - do this with some (tbd?) platform (ecosystem?) no one is building? (is it, like, Notion + Braintrust vibes?) - ??? - democratize expertise; profit

@TheZvi 1000+ words to lie to people that we will co-work with ai in the future instead of approaching full autonomy

@TheZvi X desperate needs LLM writing detection and a mute filter on any LLM generated content

@TheZvi Exact same. It’s pretty clearly not AI, but similar brainfeel

@TheZvi You're right to push back—

@TheZvi Corporate slop was the original slop, this is high class, Grand Cru slop from the very best purveyor in the corporate world, not a single comma could offend any stakeholder

@tenobrus Unmistakable. Pretty sure the reaction is healthy.

@TheZvi Not just me then, what’s he even going on about?

@TheZvi Same.

The art of condensing language into careful struts so that there is high meaning per sentence is .... well. AIs don't have it. And often humans don't either.

@TheZvi uncanny valley

@TheZvi C-suite slop is the worst, most weaponized slop of all

@TheZvi Glazing up taxonomy that somehow only azure products can cook. A vendor locker

@TheZvi You can get a lot from just the first sentence. Satya's unit of analysis is the firm. That tells you everything. Optimizing for the firm => not optimizing for individual consumers => not optimizing for frontier model companies.
