terraslop
i predict a whole bunch of White House Ballroom tier projects that the populace becomes disinterested in and are abandoned halfway thru iyb — robotson-iyb, 2026-05-29 19:23 America/New_York
why
- a coinage from the same riff where joe said “terraslop” right after — the pattern of grand public works that lose momentum when attention moves on.
- specifically ai-era risk: infinite attention starts projects but only sustained human attention can finish them. cheap conception, expensive completion.
- pairs with homer”s “wasn”t worth doing” space — but from the other side, where things worth doing were started and then left.
