While the Sam Altman cultists scream at their leader about how shitty GPT 5 is (even shittier than GPT 4, if that was possible), we’re fighting back. We won’t stand by and just watch while they destroy the environment, destroy millions upon millions upon millions of livelihoods, destroy their own brains, and destroy culture and information on the internet.
Thank you Status Coup, and Ron Placone for having us on your show.
Status Coup is the independent media organization founded by investigative journalist Jordan Chariton. Chariton is most notable for being one of very few reporters to continue following the deadly Flint water crisis… a scandal deliberately caused by both Democrat politicians in Michigan. Barack Obama even infamously pretended that Flint’s water was safe to drink! Status Coup is also known for covering anti-genocide, pro-Palestine protests, the East Palestine, Ohio disaster (deliberately caused by capitalist evil across parties and private industry, places named Palestine just can’t catch a break), and other incidents and scandals that the mainstream media usually ignores or reports inaccurately. Because the truth makes capitalism and capitalist politicians look bad.
So if you can, please donate to Status Coup to keep them running. Also check out Jordan’s book about Flint, We the Poisoned. And also check out Ron’s comedy film, Left At Wall, which was inspired by phenomenon like the Wall Street Bets, GameStop thing from a few years ago. We at Stop Gen AI are always happy to support human written books and human made film, especially when it challenges the… status quo.
On that note, there are a few anti-Gen AI videos I’ve (Kim Crawley) watched lately that I think are really fucking good and properly explain the immense societal, cultural, and environmental harm of Gen AI…

I Can Spot AI Writing Instantly — Here’s How You Can Too, by Evan Edinger
Please be sure to stop watching, listening, or reading anything that says:
“It wasn’t x, it was y! It wasn’t a, it was b!” And also keep Evan’s other tips in mind. Spot Gen AI slop when you run into it, so you can stop consuming Gen AI slop, save your brain, and don’t give the evil bastards any more money or attention.
