Microsoft's "Linux" Foundation Pays Writers to Publish Propaganda and Then LLM Slop Sites (Slopfarms) Repeat the Propaganda, Using Microsoft LLMs

Later today we'll publish a long and detailed article about the Microsoft-controlled [1, 2] Linux Foundation.

In the meantime consider the latest LLM slop:

Linux Kernel: Rust Integration Offers Security and Resilience Challenges

Slopfarms like these no longer know what a real article is: (two latest articles combined)

Let's examine the promise of Rust integration in Linux, potential integration challenges, and Linux kernel developers' perspectives on Rust integration in the Linux kernel.

Follow the money, follow who 'bought' the training set, and consider who owns, controls (censors/manipulates) and then uses the LLMs.

The only other fake 'article' from the same day is also "Linux" (with "security" thrown in for SEO purposes, i.e. spam):

Linux 6.15: MSEAL Memory Protection Enhancements for System Security

Pure junk:

Especially beneficial for x86-64 and arm64 architectures, MSEAL is set to transform how admins approach memory protection in their environments. Let’s dive into the practical applications and benefits this new feature brings to the Linux security community.

People who use the Web need a good list of slopfarms (to be avoided). Mozilla, instead of helping Firefox users detect/block slopfarms, is 'helping' users by feeding them more slop. Shame on Mozilla. Useless company whose executives come from social control media companies. Later people wonder why Mozilla wants surveillance?

Anyway, it seems evident that a lot of the pro-Rust noise comes from Microsofters and GAFAM. Authors who write in favour of Rust publish in sites sponsored by Microsoft, just like "social" sites (e.g. Reddit) which censor Rust critics/sceptics. On top of that, Microsoft security blunders are belittled or misframed as "computer problems", whereas many slopfarms keep talking about "Linux backdoor" (that does not exist; it distracts from the real issue, a Trump back door in every Windows machine in the world).
