Anti-Linux FUD Sites cybersecuritynews.com and gbhackers.com Turn Out to be LLM Slop, Even Plagiarism That Spreads Lies

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 04, 2025

Here again we have it! Slopweb! It's LLM slop, even in former news sites which were once real sites. Garbage presented as "news". This is how bad the Web has become! We'll focus just on "Linux" for now (leaving aside other areas; they too suffer similarly).

Beware false headlines and fake text from cybersecuritynews.com and gbhackers.com. Those sites with their false headlines are being spread around by Google News. They often spread anti-Linux messages, set aside text manipulation that turns facts into lies.

They even boast that Google News is syndicating their slop:

Google News

This is their latest fake "work":

Linux 6.14 Released – 500,000 Lines of Code Modified

It's LLM slop:

Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, has announced the release of Linux 6.14-rc1, marking the end of the two-week merge window.

LLM slop about the same thing was made by Guardian Digital, Inc (at linuxsecurity.com) around the same time, based on actual (real) articles.

Compare the above ("Linux 6.14 Released – 500,000 Lines of Code Modified") to this:

'Tiny' Linux 6.14-rc1 released: What's new in 500,000 lines of modified code

LLM slop, being mindless garbage, had distorted the news and got it wrong. Jack Wallen correctly said that "Linux 6.14-rc1" was released, the slop still says "Linux 6.14 Released" (false).

So the Web is getting filled by bot-spewed misinformation or fake news. Great!

The same lie was repeated by another anti-Linux slop site:

Nope! Linux 6.14 Released – What’s New

GBHackers turns out to be LLM slop:

The Linux Kernel 6.14-rc1 (release candidate 1) has been officially announced by Linus Torvalds, marking the conclusion of the merge window.

Welcome to 'Web 3.0'. It's full of lies, but the generators or perpetrators of these lies euphemise these as "hallucinations" and that also counts as low-grade plagiarism. No, sorry, they call this "innovation".
