No 2025 HN thread is complete without someone accusing someone else of using AI or someone using the word "slop". Bullet points? Must be AI. Em-dash? Obviously slop. Not only this, but that? Holy moly, AI slop. (we ignore whether or not the writing is actually interesting, engaging, educational, etc. of course)

Folks should be disclosing when they're using AI to write articles. AI style is garbage. It not only pollutes the internet but will steadily infect the writing style of others.

For sure.

But, also, seeing "slop!" and "ai!" on every single comment section of every article across the internet is pollution, too.

At the bottom of the article: You can find the design on Makerworld, named SnoutCover, make adjustments if needed, and let’s help our pups live their best lives.

Yes, but it's published there under a restrictive license which doesn't allow sharing of derivative works.

Serious question: should the whole internet have content warnings for anything that might be found objectionable by someone? This seems super mild. Maybe embed it in site metadata, and then you specify your preferred experience in your browser of choice?

This was already tried literally decades ago[0]. Now answer some questions: what should happen when some objectionable people would access a site what doesn't have anything in the site metadata? what should happen when some very objectionable people would access a site what do have all the required data in the site metadata and they would still complain? Also you are clearly missing the usual "think about the childre…

Nothing; publishers on the internet don't owe anyone anything, but that doesn't mean they can't try.

>Also you are clearly missing the usual "think about the children" drivel.

That is always going to be a battle; I don't think this suggestion is a meaningful paradigm shift in either way. One could argue that this satisfies the needs of the "TATC" crowd, because it puts the control in the parents hands, via browser, and is therefore a less centralized solution.

I've had dogs for the better part of my life and not a single time was a 'foxtail' an issue, whereas grasses that grow these kind of constructs are pretty common around here. Did I (and my dogs!) get lucky? How common are these issues?

This is interesting. Foxtails are pretty common where I live, so common that one species of Foxtail has the name of the city (Bromus madritensis) (Madrid, Spain). Not a single time it has affected any of my dogs or even heard about it being a problem at all. I wonder if it's not all species of Foxtail

Same for me living in another Mediterranean country. Never had issues with any of my dogs and never heard of anything similar even as caution.
