SLOP1669: Intro to bullshitting

A rigorous introduction to doing your courses with minimal effort and maximal outside-the-box thinking: wielding LLMs and agentic software to generate content fast, and weaponising satire against an open-ended brief.

What you will do

Twelve weeks of producing convincing, unverifiable claims under a clock, building toward two oral exams where the only thing checked is whether you can hold a position out loud. You leave with a portfolio of bits, one genuine attempt for comparison, and a reasonably accurate read on your own tells.

Who it is for

Anyone who has already finished Calling Bullshit and wants the other side of the trade. No prior bullshitting experience assumed; a willingness to say something with total confidence before checking whether it's true is the only real prerequisite.

This site was built the way the course teaches: fast, with an agent doing most of the typing and a human reviewing the brief. Neither of us is claiming that's a coincidence.
