TIL about #OpenSlopware a growing list of FLOSS projects entering the #enshitocene with plagiarism-as-a-service:
small-hack/open-slopware: Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives. Fork of the repo by @gen-ai-transparency after its deletion. - Codeberg.org

The Register: Not hot on bots, project names and shames AI-created open source software. “The splendidly-named ‘OpenSlopware’ was, for a short time, a list of open source projects using LLM bots. Due to harassment, it’s gone, but forks of it live on.”

FWIW, I'm planning on continuing to maintain my fork of codeberg.org/gen-ai-transparency/open-slopware (now defunct), and will be accepting PRs. Can't let a good idea die because of loud-mouth slop peddlers.
For now it's going to live here: codeberg.org/hausgeist/open-slopware
EDIT: Nevermind, let's all join forces here: https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware

CW: Harassment, AI
For those not following, open-slopware, the repository dedicated to cataloging projects that use LLMs as development, was taken down today after the main organizer was harassed by Bluesky and Reddit pro-ai individuals. As such, development has been pretty fragmented today, but it has reconsolidated at https://codeberg.org/ai-alternatives/llm-afflicted-software.
No matter whether you like LLMs or not, I don't think harassment is ever the answer... for anything...
