Cyberpunk slang for low-quality, unstructured, messy human-generated data. In a world flooded with clean machine output, HM;DR tags the noisy, emotional, rambling, contradictory garbage that humans produce — streams of consciousness, rants, trauma dumps, half-finished thoughts. Useful to a human, worthless to a system.

Where AI outputs are crisp, structured, and scannable, HM;DR content is chaotic, untagged, and un-parseable. It's the digital back-alley graffiti of the information age.

In some underground circles, HM;DR is worn as a badge of resistance — proof that something was written by a real, flawed, unoptimized human and not a language model. Dirty data. Authentic data.

Synonym: wetware noise, organic slop, meatspace output
Antonym: clean data, structured output, LLM-generated
"Don't pipe that forum thread into the model — pure HM;DR, it'll corrupt the dataset."

"His manifesto was 40 pages of HM;DR. No metadata, no structure, just raw human noise."

"The old internet archives? 90% HM;DR. Beautiful and completely useless."
