Techrights Does Not Compete With LLM Slop, It Exposes the Bastards, Plagiarists and Scammers Who Do That
People like Scam Altman, still facing a lawsuit from his own sister for sexual abuse against her
LLM slop/chaff is technically not a problem for us since we went "static" (SSG). We serve more pages than ever and if bots grab like a million items a day (so far today it's over a million since midnight as of 6PM) we can still cope. It is, however, a problem for my personal site, which had to wall or block off many offending IP addresses. That meant that some legitimate surfers got denied access (false positive) and reported that to me. I won't be adding JavaScript or outsource to some malicious company like ClownFlare, so that's just the price I pay for the LLM cargo cult being funded by horrible investors, whose agenda is as sinister as Twitter (now "X") pushing racist, anti-black dogma under the guise of "hey hi" or "xAI" or whatever.
Techrights covers fairly unique topics. The topics we cover here are barely even mentioned in any other site. That means that Serial Sloppers don't bother us much. We do, however, call them out, for they serve to deplete and destroy actual journalism in many domains, including the software (and Free/libre software) domain.
We've said it before and we'll say it again many times in the future: more sites must find the guts to call out the Serial Sloppers, the scammers, even the people who back or finance them. These people are basically scammers who rip off creative people and some of them build pyramid schemes out of it.
In the area of code too, there's massive copyright violation happening. In a saner society, the people responsible for it would be arrested, and not just because they literally strangle women. Liars, scammers, and pathological liars will eventually find no gainful employment. Because facts matter. Because ethics exist. █
