Slopwatch: Google Noise ("News"), Linux Security (Slopfarm), and BetaNoise (Serial Slopper)
Today there's no lack of LLM slop that we can see impacting "Linux", starting with this Google Noise ("News") pick from a notorious slopfarm. Somehow Google Noise or Google staff cannot comprehend the simple fact that this is a fake site piggybacking some genuine or real articles on this topic.
The above is LLM slop with slop image. The same goes for this:
And the sister slopfarm, which does the same FUD using the same LLMs (with slop images):
Also produced by LLMs and presented as "Linux" news by Google Noise right now:
So when people look for Linux news they get fake articles (slop) like the above.
Then there's this:
Pure garbage, as usual:
From the same day, trying to googlebomb a topic of "recent discussions, led by Linus Torvalds":
Fake article, just LLM slop pasted in:
Last but not least we have BetaNoise, where the Serial Slopper Fagioli (revisit "Nobody Will Believe You Really Wrote an Article (Even If You Did)") is doing LLM slop with slop images:
Probably a hybrid of LLM slop and some editing of the resultant slop:
Then there's promotional spam made by LLM slop:
Hardly surprising:
Fagioli's colleagues don't seem to be doing LLM slop (we've checked) and the editor of BetaNoise has recognised the problem several times already [1, 2, 3]. Fagioli is basically a BS artist. █
