| IsambardPrince | They basically come in, spray a cheap retail-grade insecticide along baseboards, put some bait matrix along easily accessible cabinet hinges, and leave the premises within 15 minutes. | Aug 03 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | This level of service suppresses like 90-95% of the roach activity, but intentionally never solves it. | Aug 03 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | They toss like 6-8 sticky traps so they can show you the occasional roach. | Aug 03 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't use them for the same reason you would (put out 2-3 dozen along the entire apartment to catch as many as possible that way). | Aug 03 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They use them to show you there's still roaches. | Aug 03 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | If you complain often enough, you find out they had insect growth regulator in the truck that entire time. | Aug 03 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | And did not use it until it became cheaper to kill the roaches than to manage you. | Aug 03 00:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | probably not a new or unique take | Aug 03 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there is another issue | Aug 03 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | suppose you make xyz | Aug 03 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and xyz uses abc | Aug 03 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and abc becomes slopware | Aug 03 20:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as module or dep | Aug 03 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | does that make xyz also contaminated with slop? yes. | Aug 03 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but not directly | Aug 03 20:22 |
| lxo | yeah, it's contagious | Aug 03 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | new abc comes out | Aug 03 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with slop added | Aug 03 20:22 |
| lxo | I mean, I agree, not directly | Aug 03 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no human review | Aug 03 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | something terrible happens | Aug 03 20:22 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | users ask, | Aug 03 20:23 |
| lxo | but still. the combined program contains slop | Aug 03 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | did you use LLMs? | Aug 03 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they say no, | Aug 03 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but we imported some | Aug 03 20:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or, it was OK at the time | Aug 03 20:23 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | and some software | Aug 03 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | projects will revert back to these | Aug 03 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or revert back to old, clean versions | Aug 03 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like the pre-slop www | Aug 03 20:25 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | etc etc | Aug 03 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | too much litter in them now | Aug 03 20:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even youtube and tiktok drown in slop (plagiarism) vcideos | Aug 03 20:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Those LLMs that look at codebases are getting more useful apparently. | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fuzzing did too | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they rebranded it | Aug 03 20:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Mozilla has been fixing security issues flushed out by those scanning tools in the recent months. | Aug 03 20:26 |
| IsambardPrince | So it's just suped up fuzzing, really. | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | defect scanners are old tech | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | those are not cheap | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you can see many of them dating back to the 90s | Aug 03 20:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The LLM can find things that human eyes can't read over quickly enough across tens of millions of lines. | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they are not priciers than the slop | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the slop isn SIBNSIDISED | Aug 03 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | byt eh pyramid "bros" | Aug 03 20:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *SUBSIDISED | Aug 03 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | It won't find them all but it's finding a lot and some have been overlooked going back all the way to the late 90s. | Aug 03 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | So this is concerning, right? Those have affected the Mozilla codebase since years before Firefox. | Aug 03 20:27 |

| *yellow-pillow (~yellow-pillow@5arz9p7wg8kqn.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 03 20:27 | |

| IsambardPrince | Nation states will find and hoard this and weaponize them and never disclose it. | Aug 03 20:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you waste "manhours" | Aug 03 20:28 |

| lxo | I don't think the pop is going to be the end of it. it will take a severe hit, but it won't go away altogether. the tech, the knowledge about how to make it, will remain, and there will be a window for such things to be redone, even in freedom-respecting ways, running on more modest hardware.

| schestowitz[TR2] | the VC for it | Aug 03 20:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like MSFT funding slop hey hi | Aug 03 20:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | the VC money used to bribe the media | Aug 03 20:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | esp. the ones without technical knowhow | Aug 03 20:31 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | in media paid by VCs | Aug 03 20:32 |
| lxo | some people have become dependent on this stuff. they will be motivated to rebuild it, if it even needs rebuilding | Aug 03 20:32 |

Even if a bankrupt AI companyβs model and servers could be acquired for pennies on the dollar, even if the new owners could be shorn of any overhanging legal liability from looming copyright cases, even if the eye-watering salaries commanded by AI engineers collapsed, the electricity bill for each query β to power the servers and their chillers β would still make runni | Aug 03 20:38 |

The kid could do anything. He conquered LLM hallucinations. I was the architect but Cole wrote the code. Iβll explain how in a couple columns from now. For now just know my heart is broken." | Aug 03 20:40 |

He saved the company, leading a triumphant demo recently for a $14 billion customer. Then on April 14th Cole went to sleep and never woke up. I hope that never happens to you." | Aug 03 20:40 |
