Weekly Scroll: Bad Vibes

What are we getting out of competing AI slop feeds?

Whoa! Adding together my ten day break for travel and some other articles I wanted to be free, there hasn’t been a paywalled article in a month! You lucky devils! Unfortunately nothing gold can stay, so this week’s edition of the Weekly Scroll is going behind the paywall.

This week we’re talking about Meta’s continued experiments in AI slop, Taylor Swift’s new very online album, more British internet drama, Wikipedia jawboning, and most importantly, Free Bird on bagpipes.

If you’re not yet a paying subscriber, jump in!

Bad Vibes

Facebook released a new social media feed/app this week called Vibes, and it’s entirely dedicated to shortform vertical video produced by AI.
