SLOP VS TASTE
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Most people use "slop cannon" as an insult for a person making AI slop. The piece flips it. The slop cannon is a person using junky AI output as raw material to think with, then editing hard. Move fast in produce mode, slow down in selection mode. The piece also bets against the new OpenAI and Anthropic consulting joint ventures, on the grounds that most enterprise data isn't ready for the work being sold.
