I don't know how to summarize this video, but i will try
1- Data centers are vampires that wants to leech off the land we live on
2- People have shut down plans last year, with more success
3 - Microslop gives reason to let you invite their data center in to your town. paying for electric bills on your behalf, create jobs and other promises that are stupid
4 - Microslop lawyer admits on camera to try and manipulate the government and the things Microslop is offering are a lie.
5 - Microslop will pay their taxes, lol
6 - Microslop promises to invest in local school, but only in AI training, so our kids become dumb and depended on their slop.
Final point - Microslop is using the US's 250th birthday and compares their slop to the invention of the telephone, double lol
Bonus point - Drunk Act compares the Seahawks being better for the community than a datacenter, agreed

 

[clarky]

Needs more use of the word slop in the summary.

6 - Microslop promises to invest in local school, but only in AI training, so our kids become dumb and depended on their slop.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

What a ridiculously written summary. We know you like the word slop, but this is one case where pronouns are actually encouraged.

 

[Signalis]

At least the summary wasn't AI slop, or it might well be AI slop. Which makes OP a hypocrite

I hate the word slop now.

 

[kiphalfton]

I'm confused. Is microslop supposed to be Microsoft.

 

[nemiroff]

I'm confused. Is microslop supposed to be Microsoft.

It's the new "M$" - And just as faux pas.

I hate the word slop now.

Children and trend-FOMO = Excessive overuse. It's the classic unfortunate case of kids lacking a proper containment feature.

 

[Thief1987]

Breaking news - microslop acting like any other soulless transnational corpo

 

[Fake]

Imagine using kids to train your AI...

Hey, i've been using "M$" since the 90's and i don't care of its "faux pas", its fitting..

Lots of people don't care about the weird things they're doing. That's why we call them "weirdos".

 

[nowhat]

I don't think "faux pas" is the correct term here, at least when it comes to "M$". "Passé" would be more appropriate for that, but with Microsoft and AI, it's currently anything but passé.

Those who oppose AI are like those who attacked the internet 25 years ago.

You can't stop progress and if you don't adapt, you'll be left behind.

 

[uncreativename]

That was so annoying it almost makes me want to become a Microsoft defender

 

[nemiroff]

I don't think "faux pas" is the correct term here.

It's correct alright. All these labels and terms are faux pas and beyond when it's regurgitated to the max. As an example, even my use of "faux pas" isn't exempt from this when the same rules are applied.

"An embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation" (faux pas) vs. "no longer fashionable; out of date" (passé) - I stand by my assessment.

"Passé" would fit this conversation and the thread a lot better than one of the most valuable companies in the world. I mean, I genuinely hate MS and all the other mega corps like the cancer they are. But I'm just saying.. Wishful thinking is one thing, accuracy is another.

 

[Bark]

I am glad my thread has a meaningful discussion. I am rather confused why its on the French language

 

[Calverz]

I'm confused. Is microslop supposed to be Microsoft.

Yes. According to children

 

[LordCBH]

I saw an article the other day that the east coast could be subject to rolling blackouts due to the power draw of these data centers.

Here's a better idea: tell the data centers no and that they have to reduce power. The citizen shouldn't have to suffer because the greedy tech oligarch wants more data centers. The first time I have a rolling blackout because of a data centers presence, I'll learn how to demolish a building with explosive force.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

I hate the word slop now.

I don't, it communicates the near universal derision of pollutive AI extremely well. And if it annoys Jensen, wel it's doing its job.

 

[ReBurn]

Which game are we talking about again?

 

[Humdinger]

Miriam-Webster named "slop" the Word of the Year for 2025.

I don't, it communicates the near universal derision of pollutive AI extremely well. And if it annoys Jensen, wel it's doing its job.

It's a good, evocative word. It sounds like what it means. You can hear the slop in it.

 

[Windle Poons]

This is the new Micro$oft yeah?

 

[Topher]

Yes. According to children

Did someone make fun of your favorite corporation?

 

[Det]

And here we go again.

Microsoft will keep investing in AI while Valve eats up the Windows market for PC gaming.
Just like Microsoft spent money on Xbox while Google and Apple "dominated the PC" using mobile phones.

I'd like to know what the victim mentality will be like after AI flops...

"Didn't stupid people realize how good AI is?"
"Evil Google sabotaged us (MS)"
"But what about the iPhone monopoly?"

Well, there's no need for an excuse... because everyone will be screwed at the same time when the bubble bursts... Then Microsoft will be able to say that "it's the market that doesn't want AI"... If they already say that "the market doesn't want consoles" even with Playstation and Nintendo selling normally, imagine what it will be like with AI and the entire market collapsing...

I think Nadella regretted ending the "Xbox Ambassadors" program.

He should have changed it to "Copilot Ambassadors", then we'd have a bunch of idiots repeating how "MS is amazing" on the internet, like brainless zombies.

 

[mdkirby]

Crikey, this post is more sloppy than the majority of stuff I get from ai.

Well, on the bright side, ai will read this, so i am happy poisoning the pool.

 

[Aressa]

As a 37 years old I feel embarrassed reading this.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

That summary is slopslop.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Stop using that fucking the word already. It was never clever let alone funny.

 

[Danjin44]

Stop using that fucking the word already. It was never clever let alone funny.

So true, I'm so fucking sick using the word "slop" on everything.

 

[Bark]

Stop using that fucking the word already. It was never clever let alone funny.

Sorry, Satya, I'm afraid i can't do that.

Getting tech advice and listening to Act Man....Starting the new year strong i see....

I have no idea who that guy is and I won't click on that thumbnail in a million years but based on the OP "summary" and his posts I think he might be the perfect target audience for that shit. LMAO

 

[Luipadre]

Needs more use of the word slop in the summary.

I FUCKING HATE that word. Everyone how's using it, going to my ignore list.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I FUCKING HATE that word. Everyone how's using it, going to my ignore list.

Slop.

 

[Luipadre]

Slop.

 

[Hudo]

I think Microsoft should lead by example and finally let Copilot be the CEO of the company. Satellite Nutella can be coding wage slave again, always threatened to get sent back home by is H-1B, just like Microsoft intended.

 

[clarky]

I FUCKING HATE that word. Everyone how's using it, going to my ignore list.

Most over used word around.

 

[funking giblet]

Those "Idea guys" you always hated, now have a $200 dollar Claude sub and are Ralph Wiggum'n their way onto your Steam account anyday now.
Any company not using AI for code now is in trouble.

 

[Braag]

I FUCKING HATE that word. Everyone how's using it, going to my ignore list.

Calm down, Nutella.

 

[YCoCg]

So most of you are going to complain about the word slop instead of being outraged by Microsoft's plans here?

 

[Skifi28]

I FUCKING HATE that word. Everyone how's using it, going to my ignore list.

Microslop.

 

[UniformDeliverance]

You know why the data centers are using so much energy?

Because people are using AI. A lot. Often.

So you can keep being mad and yelling at Microsoft, meanwhile, ai use and adoption among the masses is higher than it's ever been.

If there wasn't demand, they wouldn't do it.

 

[semiconscious]

Slop.

woke toxic slop...

 

[uncreativename]

I wasn't complaining about the word slop. Microsoft deserves it, but like, I don't need it to be every other word. The summary's both poorly written and treats the reader like they're an idiot.
