AI slop is content geared toward metrics in an algorithm. AI is helpless and must produce content averaged out by the metrics of whatever company designed the thing. But humans are perfectly capable of producing slop.
For example, a director working for Apple wanted to nerd out on the opening sequence to pay tribute to an obscure movie he liked. Apple said no. Their data showed that audiences needed to be captivated in the first 30seconds or they’d switch off. So how about a drone-shot over a European city with a song that cost a fortune to licence, and with a voice over explaining everything? All the slop, none of the AI.















It’s a good theory, but Shapiro’s problems pre-date this. Shapiro’s problems seem to really start in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing. The Nick Fuentes, anti-Semitic faction of the Right has become ascendant and they don’t like Ben. (for some reason).
You could even argue it goes back to the friction with Candace Owens, and her firing from The Daily Wire behind her support of Kanye West.
In any case, the American right is splitting up over the idea that opposition to Israel is antisemitic. They believe that and therefore cannot support Israel.
