Language evolves with technology, and there’s no better example than the title of a Rolling Stone article posted yesterday: Elon Musk appears to be completely addicted to anime gooner AI slop.
The headline would be unintelligible to most people in North America in 2000:
- Elon Musk was not yet a household name at the time. If you wanted to evoke images of high tech with a mainstream audience, you’d mention Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.
- Anime had only started making headway into popular culture in the mid- to late 1990s thanks to Sailor Moon and Pokémon.
- At the time, the term gooner was limited to soccer, meaning “superfan of the Arsenal football club.” It had not yet become internet slang for “porn addict” or “chronic self-pleasurer.”
- The term “AI” would have been reasonably well known by then, and a year later, Syeven Spielberg’s film, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, would be released.
- “AI slop” is a term that only got mainstream popularity last year thanks to programmer and tech blogger Simon Willison.

You might not be aware of the FDA’s warning that Walmart’s house brand of raw frozen shrimp might be contaminated with the radioactive isotope cesium-137, a byproduct of uranium-235 fission, which typically happens in nuclear reactors or nuclear detonations. If you enjoy the Fallout games and TV series, we’re one step closer to that world!
You can find out more in this article, but if you’d rather get to the practical info, I’ve posted it below:

Tampa Bay deal of the day
I’m still impressed that “That’s a awful lot of cough syrup” went from a viral video of Desto Dubb’s arrest…
…to a line of clothing that’s made him a fair bit of money.
Want these pants? They sell new for $400, but someone in Tampa’s selling their pair for $140.
