Microsoft Uses Slop to Bribe (at No Cost) Nations That Otherwise Would Move to GNU/Linux and IBM is Forcing Red Hat Staff to Use Slop
Everything (which involves a computer) is being rebranded as "AI" these days, even plagiarism. Vapourware announcements are made by Microsoft all the time, with the latest being this:
Money that does not exist to sway or convince a government to bow to Microsoft. How many nations has Microsoft pulled this stunt in? So far we saw well over a dozen. All the larger nations have been targeted by such unrealistic proclamations with fake (made up) figures in them.
As we explained before, it's a form of zero-cost bribe. It's a lie. It's a media disinformation campaign - that's all there it to it.
We've meanwhile been told that Microsoft Lunduke caught something that merely affirms what we wrote about and showed many times before: IBM is compelling people who don't like slop... to use slop, or else:
Fedora is doomed.
Under IBM, Red Hat or GNOME or Fedora (different hats, same role) had him pushing back doors sold as "security".
Insiders told frankly this was a matter of IBM policy. To still be paid by IBM they need to do what they - as technical professionals - know to be wrong.
As an associate has put it in light of this new Microsoft-sponsored publisher (paid to promote slop) writing a bunch of spam, "tldr; *managers* love AI slop, no interest in actual results"; it's thinly disguised as information:
It's troubling to see how this slop mania is ruining everything. Ruin is part of the intention; each time a company collapses they try to twist this as "AI success", then justify the downfall as "efficiency".
They pay the media to play along with their lies. On the brighter side of thing, lately we have encountered a lot less LLM slop about Linux. In Google News, for example, today we saw only this one obvious example:
It's a slopfarm. Many other slopfarms got delisted. Some slopfarm ceases to operate or went offline. There's no potential or future to it; the moment people realise an LLM (or chatbot) writes a Web site, those people will never read it again (even if they mistakenly open some page from it). Life it too short to waste "consuming" slop. █
