This is Behind the Blog, where we share our behind-the-scenes thoughts about how a few of our top stories of the week came together. This week, we discuss eyebrow-raising apps, more media mess, and lovingly gazing at AI slop.
JASON: I was planning on BTBing about the Reddit AI experiment, but today is my birthday and my 404 Media colleagues got me an incredibly thoughtful gift: A smart picture frame preloaded with a picture of the three of them (and not me) from our anniversary party that says “fuck you bitch” and dozens of images of AI slop. I love it, it brought a tear to my eye. Many of the images are NSFL just as I’d want them to be.
One of the interesting things about this picture frame is that it essentially lets the people who bought it drop new pictures onto it, which means, as Emanuel pointed out, “it’s more a present for us than for you.”
