in reply to Robert Kingett • • •the Colonization is the most vivid English nonfiction I have read around in a long while. a blind person painting the brightest pictures of the world, described in words.
this reminded me Samuel Beckett in some sense. and this is amazing.

I've seen people refer to LLM slop as word salad, and adding the notion of blending to it makes it even more appropriate. and you know what, Blended Salad has the same initials as Bull Shit, which gives a new twist to BS generators (GenBS for short)
