Let's talk about #AI #slop
https://archestra.ai/blog/only-responsible-ai

Let's get this straight: anything created with "AI" is #slop.
It doesn't have to be vibe-coded. It doesn't have to be horrible code. It doesn't matter that you've spent hours perfecting the prompt. It doesn't matter that ten people have spent a week reviewing it in detail.
As long as an "AI" took part in writing it, it's slop. It's an unethical technology, and anything created with it is tainted. It's an inhuman technology, and you're supporting it. You're being disrespectful to your users and contributors. You're putting your own convenience over humanity. You're aiding the worst murderous assholes in the history of humanity. And what's perhaps worst, you quite likely believe that you are making a net positive contribution, that you're helping people, while you're actually disrespecting and harming them.

Measuring programmer productivity by AI tokens burned is like measuring airplane construction by weight.

Is there such a thing as an #Slop-Account filter for #Youtube? (whitelist likely)

AI Content Is Everywhere on Social Media, Especially LinkedIn | Pangram Labs
We scanned over 1 million social media posts for AI content. It turned up on every platform we checked, and 1 in 3 top LinkedIn posts flagged as AI-generated.

I love how people keep shitting up #slop comments that praise my #LLM criticisms. I mean, I probably wouldn't have figured it out if not there were two suspiciously similar comments, and both ofc linked some random slop SaaS.

And the next big blocker for #Python 3.15 in #Gentoo is time-machine. Which is obviously broken. There's a patch but it's #slop and complex, and it's sitting for 3 months already with no reply. Because obviously patching CPython internals is so much a better idea than freezegun ever were. All these time-based tests need all the ricing you can get; portability doesn't matter.

Got some reflective stickers delivered. Where should these go? 🤔

In the meantime, #GitPython, the package that used to be dead (because the author is busily working on their next great thing) is now slopping out 4 "security" releases a week, as their #slop machine is busily fixing unintended variable expansion in every single URL they call. Unfortunately, they probably don't have enough tokens to fix them all at once, so instead all downstreams have to deal with the churn of endless security releases. Or the brain to figure out that maybe they could just disable variable expansion by default and solve them all at once.
It's truly a great time to be a #Python packager.

Here's a perfect #blog #AntiSpam idea: put an URL field, and say "to pass, you must leave that field empty". Challenge difficulty level: impossible.

Just one more LLM, bro. Just one more LLM and this code will surely work fine!

New #slop recognition criteria just dropped: a project bumps the dependency to `setuptools>=61.0.0` (valid but most people don't care) and adds a `wheel` dependency while at it (wrong).

Congratulations. Now I'm actively worried to open a PR fixing my issue, because there's already been a few #slop PRs opened attempting to fix it. And I'm literally worried that mine would be taken as another slop PR…
