#slopware — Public Fediverse posts

Wow, about 0.2 fps, that is a new low #SlopWare

FOSS video player for Android, similar to VLC, *but not* using "AI"?

#fediask #slopware

Adrian Black (Adrian's Digital Basement) is a slopsist ('_my_ use doesn't hurt anybody!') and I couldn't be more disappointed. Another #retrocomputing YouTuber that's Dead To Me.

@grapeshot @alexshendi Just a heads-up warning that the author has starting using Ai for the code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY2T_Da3TiU

#retrocomputing #slopware

It seems #Google #scholar has now really become #slopware. Every week I get weirder and weirder edit suggestions, this time to revert several published papers to their preprint versions..

Is #openalex the future of scientometric data/search? 🫣

That's why myself and many others are trying to reach out to projects and convince them to adopt strict anti-LLM policies, as well as cataloging ones that are tainted with them.

We appreciate any and all help we can get! Though, the admin is away right now so the repo is currently frozen for a short while. Still wanted to make you aware of it tho! ^^

So we started at the #Markdownia #Codeberg team a fork of #OpenSlopware with a more permissive policy and... no actual harassment!

After I got banned from the original repo some days ago and after some defamatory material where promoted by the OSlopW team against Drew DeVault some while ago, as a _protest_ alternative we decided to start our own.

Ach, wie mein Vertrauen in die Dokumentation eines hier nicht genannten Herstellers wächst, wenn ich dieses tolle Bild anschaue 😱

It would seem we've reached the point where it's less effort to list software that -hasn't- been infested with #AI #Slop than a list of software that has - the list at Open #Slopware is spiralling out of control. https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware

“We made a modern browser for Mac OS 9!”

And of course I’m interested.
Then I look at the repo.

Know what? Fuck that noise.

Looks like the good old #rsync is now #slopware and as a consequence is starting to fall apart 😬 https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@JeremiahFieldhaven/116654345332213390

🔥🔥🔥

❝ Generative AI is catnip for hall monitors, snitches, toadies, and any other group that hates work and loves talking down to others. Put another way, it ingratiates losers who believe that learning to do or being good at something is a waste of time, because they deserve to just do what they want without any of that messy “effort.” ❞

#AI #slopware #kakistocracy #tech #fascism

After staring at the highway for 855 miles, I had a thought.

Using LLM's to write code suggests the resulting code is expected to be worthless.

#AI #LLM #FOSS #SlopWare

Glances at #instructables, tries to read a couple of projects, rolls eyes and sighs that every single project description now seems to be #slopware writing, gives up and closes the tabs.
FFS what's happening to our hobby. 🙄😡
If you're interested/excited about your project and want to share it, why the fuck would you AI generate your write up.

“There’s also the underlying unreliability of hallucination-prone Large Language Models. While a premium request chasing its tail and spitting out half-broken code might be frustrating, that same fuckup is a lot less forgivable when you’re paying the costs yourself.”

AI's Economics Don't Make Sense

#flickboard is not developed using LLMs/"#ai". It doesn't have any "#ai" "features". It has been against the contribution guidelines for as long as there have been any.

But I'm also not really sure I can call it slop-free, because it's still running on Android, and it still depends on a whole bunch of Google libraries. And I'm under no illusion that /those/ aren't tainted at this point.

It'd be a weird to draw a line calling slop libraries okay. They are still run with the same privileges, and are still harmful in the same way. But it's also hard to avoid while running on the platform at all. And it's not like I can just reinvent it all on my own.

I don't know. I wish there was a serious alternative out there. :/

#noai #slopware

An excellent resource of "Free /Open Source Software tainted by #LLM developers / developed by #genAI boosters, along with alternatives." I'll be returning to this often to weed out some of the #slop / #slopware that appears to be gradually creeping onto my computer. https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware

Open Slopware raises awareness of AI/LLM usage in popular open-source software.
