🤖🚫 Maintainers: did anyone try adding an `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` file to repos to discourage #AI coding #agents and reduce #AI_slop?
Sure, contributors can delete those files or instruct their agents to ignore them. But it might help a bit.
What is your experience/opinion on this? 👀

Scrolling through AI generated "news" items, I found that the fake lion has TWO same spots it sits in...
-
The register is reporting that a bunch of major tech companies are throwing some parking meter money at Linux to "Fix the AI-slop"
Its worth a note at least.
https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/18/linux_foundation_ai_slop_defense/
Not sure how to react as::
- No Shit Bat-persons !
- This is not unlike the Nasty Orange Bloke paying a billion dollars into the "Fib Jar"
- - Its not nearly enough to cover the bullshit, but it does do a nice job of "green washing" the brand...
- It acknowledges the "problem".
(fucking disaster for Maintainers ... at least. )- One chaps chump change is another's path to economic lock-in ...
-- Still , hopefully, they get way more than they pay for.
The Register cover it beter-er.

Coisas fofas regurgitadas por IAs generativas e a deterioração da percepção da realidade.
“A high-volume, repetitive environment (especially when messages contradict each other) doesn’t need to persuade you of a specific lie,” he explains. “It can persuade you that truth is inaccessible, so politics becomes vibes, identity, and tribe.”

We should absolutely rely on AI for security relevant coding.
Claude Haiku 4.5 as available in DuckduckGo says:
«
Yes, it will work correctly. The empty path is a special case that behaves as expected:startsWith("") returns true for any path
»yet
jshell> Path.of("app").startsWith("")
$2 ==> falseWell done, random text generator, well done.

#Youtube be like :
If you're not careful enough and don't know what you're looking for in the first place, you will #noclip into the #ai_slop realm where endless repetition occurs, where original authorship is long lost and forgotten, and where everything is a copy of a copy of a copy. God save you if you fall into the #algorithm loophole, because it will sure as hell fall for you.

Czytam poważną książkę, cegłę, kolumbrynę, pani profesor napisała, o BigTechach, metadanych i inwigilacjach. Poważne wydawnictwo, Zysk i S-ka.
Czytam i czytam, i coś mi to pisanie w ogóle nie wchodzi, jakoś tak wszystko szorstko napisane, dziwne konstrukcje słowne aż kłują w oczy. Aż trafiam na taki kwiatek (mowa o okularach z kamerą):
"Projekt, wprowadzony z wielką pompą na wiosnę 2012 roku jako modny futurystyczny gadżet, szybko został uznany za kolejna koszmarną próbę napaści. Osoby noszące urządzenie nazywano "szklanymi otworami" (glassholes), a niektóre firmy wprost zakazały używania okularów w swoich obiektach"
Really? glassholes? "szklane otwory"?
No nie wierzę. Patrzę, czy tłumacz to może jakaś pani Zdzicha Dżipitowska, albo Zenia Dipelowska, ale nie, normalnie żywa osoba, Alicja Unterschuetz. Ups.
No słabiutko słabiutko, może jeszcze jakby to była książka kucharska to bym machnął ręką, ale "Wiek kapitalizmu inwigilacji" Shoshany Zuboff to chyba zbyt konkretny tekst, by tak po prostu przejść nad tym do porządku dziennego. Zwłaszcza że, o ironio, książka traktuje właśnie o tych wszystkich gigantach, wciskających nam do gardła swoje sztuczne inteligencje. Niektórym widać wcisnęli całkiem głęboko.
Czy serio to już tak teraz będzie? Że tłumacz wrzuca tekst w maszynę, poprawia przecinki i gotowe, drukujemy? Jesteśmy skazani na te wytwory-potwory słowno-składniowe, produkowane przez AI, bo tak jest szybciej i taniej? (nie wiem dla kogo taniej, książka kosztuje kilkadziesiąt złotych).
No i nie doczytałem do końca, bo to jest zupełnie nieczytalne, mimo tematu mocno na czasie. Pomijam już nawet trudny język i skomplikowane słownictwo jakiego lubi używać pani profesor, to dałoby się przeskoczyć, wiele poważnych książek było napisanych trudnym językiem i jakoś przebrnąłem. No ale nie. Nie tym razem.

Nice, a uBlockOrigin blocklist for AI-based sites:

After some investigation, I realized that any school-level geometry question brings back almost exclusively AI-generated answers, and they're ALL.
WRONG. The usual tells are there - long, rambling section structure, repeating the same thing in different ways to hit a requested article length, etc.And they've hallucinated the math they're supposed to be explaining.
Where do we go from here?

For unimportant reasons, we needed to figure out the centroid of a trapezoid, and Googled for the formula. Bunch of pages come back, they all say that the vertical coordinate of the centroid is h/2, half the height of the trapezoid.
Only one problem.
It's not. It *can't* be; that would imply that the trapezoid was vertically symmetrical, which, you know, kind of the whole point of trapezoids that they're not necessarily symmetrical.

In skiing, 'slop' can refer to a kind of snow pack where lots of rain has fallen on new snow. It looks beautiful and like very good skiing conditions, but is in fact very dangerous and unskiable. Skis sink in and the snow tracks making it easy to tear ligaments or break a leg. 'Slop' can also avalanche very easily.

I have not got round to blogging for a few months, so of course I did not have my #NewYearResolutions written up and published (but hey #Nowruz is still a few weeks away!) - but one #NewYearResolution that will definitely be on that list is - I will definitely reprioritize my community involvement to favour those where I can discuss things without being ambushed by hearing about #AI_slop over and over again
For #DayJob, realistically it's hard to avoid AI mandates, but for community contributions... hmm...

"On a remplacé un outil qui permettait aux humains de publier et d’accéder aux contenus proposés par d’autres humains (donc de communiquer et de se comprendre) par des outils où du contenu est généré par des machines qui est résumé par des machines. L’humain a quasiment disparu de l’équation. Bref le Web est (bientôt) mort, tué par l’IA."

Da ich es hier noch nie gelesen habe: das Projekt "Soul over AI" listet AI Künstler (Musik) auf. Einträge können selbstständig eingereicht werden. Die Einträge werden dann vor Veröffentlichung validiert.
Es ist sicher nicht vollständig, aber ein Anfang.Website des Projektes: https://souloverai.com/

When someone's PR:
- changes a ton of shit nobody asked for
- bloats the codebase ta fuck
- has components which completely ignore what else is happening in the app
- uses styles as long as your arm instead of classes from the already-in-place UI library
- suddenly has buttons that look like this -
