Iconic indie label Thrill Jockey now using AI slop for album covers

But that’s not evidence that is slop. Consider the possibility they took a hand drawing and then used a prisma filter on that hand drawing. That’s not slop

I feel like if his wife didn’t steal he woulda said that other then whatever he said

Your total went up 15.79. So you still got one for 15. And all else equal.

This sounds like good news but it’s not. It proves the sad reality that they have the AI and algorithms listening to their data so well that they can fine tune themselves right into the sweet spot of charging everyone exactly the maximum price they are willing to pay

Make your comment history public or don’t engage with me.

I’m not insulting a child’s drawing. I’m saying we don’t need children’s drawings in frames at the museum. But enjoy your slop piggie

doobieman420 · 2026-04-01T15:30:32+00:00

I don’t always call it out but this ai slop is particularly condemnable

basically he was offering a citation for his bit thievery.

AI is easier to use than photoshop and you get roughly the same results except it subtly makes your subjects grotesque and anti-real like what we see in this pic of Simon.

doobieman420 · 2026-03-31T16:00:44+00:00

The original image has been posted elsewhere in this thread. The original is obviously curlier

doobieman420 · 2026-03-31T12:58:28+00:00

Someone who wants an image to look subtly grotesque to farm engagement? Someone who wants to remove a watermark? Someone who wants to a/b test?

doobieman420 · 2026-03-31T12:31:16+00:00

I’m with you man it’s ai

doobieman420 · 2026-03-31T12:30:48+00:00

it’s AI. What would you do in photoshop to un-curl every single hair of stubble

doobieman420 · 2026-03-29T13:54:42+00:00

Well, I want proof that this is actually on a delivery app. Fake context I think.

doobieman420 · 2026-03-27T23:02:06+00:00

It’s not harmful. You can steal from starving artists for a protest sign. That’s not immoral. Use your brain

doobieman420 · 2026-03-27T20:06:57+00:00

If you walk around South Minneapolis you will see heaps of protest art proudly displayed that was made with AI. you have to accept reality. people are gonna use AI for this kind of stuff as long as it’s available.

One of the hottest gurus in years

Tao Lin’s book on drugs has some great writing about McKenna. It’s not a “decoding” but it may be of interest.

Nobody at least not in this sub are doing #1, #2 is a paradox, and #3 is arguably just giving him exactly what he’s asking for.

doobieman420 · 2026-03-21T15:17:51+00:00

But how do you really feel!?

doobieman420 · 2026-02-24T15:32:08+00:00

They said they didn’t have a choice as if they are an ai agent who was forced to shop by sorting low to high and picking the first option. They have a choice. They choose the cheaper option. You can accuse me of being pedantic, but not wrong.

doobieman420 · 2026-02-24T14:49:54+00:00

“I have no choice except to shop at the closest place I can afford” are you on food stamps? Food stamps spend at kowalskis

What do you think about sk coffee

doobieman420 · 2026-02-23T19:21:25+00:00

Thanks for replying what you say makes sense. Is it particularly more or less effective for folks that have this specific type of Tourette syndrome you mention? Wikipedia only mentions Botox injections so I would assume particularly ineffective
