Silicon Valley techbros have more class solidarity among them than their workers.
it is no coincidence that they unleashed the grift of #AI as unionization was gaining momentum among workers in the largest companies; especially Amazon, Apple and Google.
the main purpose of #AIslop is to kill any unionization efforts by tech workers.
now, more than ever, tech workers need to organize into guilds that’ll represent them beyond employment.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@cR0w/116244751172093572
I'm so sorry in advance for this long post, but this has been on my mind lately and I want others' thoughts on it.
I think I agree with the person I'm quoting, but I can't be sure because despite using it, I'm starting to hate "AI" as a term. It's not their fault that the definition has been mutilated, but I have to wonder if they're against AI in theory or in it's current form.
My stance is against any sort of "AI" that steals the work of others and either claims it as original, or uses it to modify someone's otherwise untainted creation. I assume that's what they're referring to, in which case I 100% agree.
That said, I'm unaware of any issues with machine learning itself when ethical and, of course, not based around widespread theft. So, OP, what do you think about using such programs to automate painfully tedious tasks? This wouldn't steal from others or remove any creativity from a work, only use a algorithm to, for instance, display rough subtitles as a placeholder for, or in absence of, proper ones. It could also be used as a starting point for a person to later refine. This kind of thing has been around for years, in the same way text-to-speech voices have helped the vision impaired and even ADHDers like myself (I have trouble reading long-ass academic essays).
Previous examples of this tech haven't caused harm, so if a system for generating subtitles is FLOSS and improves with usage (I think that's what machine learning means?), then it's a good thing, right? How do I distinguish between such software and the dystopian slop machines we're all rallying against?

AodeRelay boostedI understand not being an absolutist against all things AI. It's wrong, but I understand. What I don't understand is people who think that those of us avoiding shit with AI or created by AI are irrational or some other offensive term. I don't see how it's different than avoiding code written by a literal honey badger. Neither the honey badger nor the AI know how to code and having them do so shows a lack of fucks given for the quality of the output. That's ( part of ) why we avoid it.

Use AI instead of hiring junior staff = stock price bump.
5 years later senior employees start to leave there is no junior staff to promote and management panics.
Management does not want to spend money on new staff so they hire expensive contractors.
Contractors do a subpar job, charging 10x what an actual employee would cost (different budgets so its cool); and the company starts to go downhill and customers flee.
This starts a death spiral leading to either bankruptcy, acquisition, or restructuring.
The original management who approved the AI have all gone and cashed in their stock.
Just a guess at what is about to happen across the industry.

AodeRelay boostedSo one of the guys I wrote about in this story -- Matt Schlicht, the creator of Moltbook, a bizarre Reddit-like platform for AI agents that Schlicht said he vibe coded with OpenClaw -- has just had his bot social network acquired by Meta (for undisclosed terms).]
Interestingly, Schlicht said didn't write a single line of code for the project. From the story:
"AI assistants like OpenClaw have gained a large following because they make it simple for users to “vibe code,” or build fairly complex applications and code projects just by telling it what they want to construct."
"Less than a week after its creation, Moltbook had more than 1.5 million registered agents that posted more than 100,000 messages to each other. AI agents on the platform soon built their own porn site for robots, and launched a new religion called Crustafarian with a figurehead modeled after a giant lobster. One bot on the forum reportedly found a bug in Moltbook's code and posted it to an AI agent discussion forum, while other agents came up with and implemented a patch to fix the flaw."
"“I just had a vision for the technical architecture and AI made it a reality,” Schlicht said. “We’re in the golden ages. How can we not give AI a place to hang out.”

And I think I’ve got my answer. Check out this AI-slop-laden pull request for changes to vim. Yes, vim, the old-school text editor that’s been around for decades and historically caters to people who don’t like things like generative “AI”:
https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413
The submitter of the PR is responding to comments with responses that are obvious AI sludge, probably just cut and pasted from the chat window, and the beginning of every one of them is effusive praise of the sort only used-car salesmen, overt con artists, and LLMs can pull off multiple times in a row.
Assuming the author of the PR was using the same application for the comments as they did for the original PR, then, yes, coding-oriented LLMs are very much indeed doing the same sycophantic shit as ChatGPT 4o, just maybe dialed back a teensy bit.
"AI doomerism" und AGI-Horrorgeschichten lenken von der berechtigten und dringend notwendigen Kritik am aktuellen AI-Hype ab. AI-Startups verwenden die Horrorgeschichten paradoxerweise sogar als Werbung. Man muss also höllisch aufpassen, welcher Kritik man sich anschließt.

Can people on Mastodon please just stop being insane regarding #LLM use? It's a tool among others. Everyone is always responsible for the code they commit or text they publish. It does not matter how it was produced. Forcing people to tag code with "LLM assisted" will just produce a lot of noise and make contributors lie about their LLM use. Linus Torvalds is 100% right on this issue. #AI #aislop
I'm quite certain that some of the most vocal and narcissistic anti-AI people within #FOSS are actually "in the closet" #LLM users.
Also, one of the best use cases for LLMs is to produce tools for deterministic automation.
Fellow Mastodonians, please just chill. You don't have to hate something just because your political opposite embraces it.

Hilarious incompetence by a Republican candidate for #Congress in my local #elections ...
#CharlieKim , one of four GOP candidates running for #Illinois District 11, had to remove a FAKE #AI video endorsement from "Donald Trump" off his campaign website this week.
Kim blamed his staff for posting it.
The video showed "Trump" standing in front of a portrait of Kim, saying that Kim would be "incredible" for Illinois. But a local newspaper was able to easily and quickly get verification from the White House that the video was not real.
White House staff told the local #KaneCounty paper that all video endorsements are posted to Donald's TrumpSocial account.
After the Kane County paper told Kim the video was fake, it was removed from his campaign site.
So either Kim is dishonest for posting LIES, or he is an idiot for believing Donald Trump ever even heard of him AND rude for not calling to thank the POTUS for his "endorsement."
It's good to know that someone as careless and (at best) easily fooled or (more likely) dishonest as this dimwit wants to represent my city of #AuroraIllinois and the nearby communities.
Illinois' #PrimaryElections are March 11, 2026. Many early voting polling places already open.

4.Windows or Linux environment?

@mos_8502 If one's forced to use *"#AI" / #AIslop unter threat of being fired* then I'd say it's their moral obligation and right to not.only refuse to do so, but go full #ScorcedEarth on said employer, call them out publicly and making shure that *everyone refuses to buy anything from said company.
Because they have nothing to loose at that point but their own self-esteem and dignity!
@mos_8502 Neither is a corporation gonna fire someone for refusing to use #AIslop.
And that is the key to it:
If you are unsure that an image is GenAI or real, here is a neat trick that you can do. Throw it into a reverse image search site and look for what the results are for the same picture. If the site shows a bunch of different images as the same, that’s a strong signal for GenAI. In these systems, an ml works, trained to find differences. Because GenAI images have a lot of technical characteristics in common, like JPEG artefacts, colour space, or texture smoothness, those look the same for these systems. This works across different GenAI models and software. My favourite tool for this check is the Yandex image search.

"The hottest job in tech: Writing words
The rise of slopaganda is fueling a surprising tech hiring boom."
It's all very fine and well, but you do need some time to research, think, structure your thought and, essentially, tell a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. I find it very difficult in this media and work environment, where AI has accelerated absolutely everything, that this trend will persist more than one year or two...
"As the job changes and demand for narrative communications and storytellers rises, the number of communications experts able to work under rapidly evolving conditions and with a wide remit may be small, comms experts tell me, leading companies to offer hefty compensation packages in war for the best talent. A similar trend is unfolding among the few people who are AI experts, driving tech companies to offer astounding salaries to poach top talent from rival firms.

The number of open job posts for software engineers dropped by more than 60,000 between 2023 and late 2025, according to data from CompTIA, a nonprofit trade association for the US IT industry.
