Slopfarms Becoming Scarce and Few (or Inactive)
This coming week will be busy because of a big EPO meeting (please contact European officials) and our ongoing series, but thankfully LLM slop online barely slows us down anymore. We need not filter out this junk anymore. We've managed to "contain" the issue and have identified only about 4 remaining domains that still "slop away" at Linux. We won't name them today, there are at most 6 of these (some have not been active lately).
While it's too early to declare any sort of meaningful "victory!" (though we don't foresee a slop 'comeback'), we are cautiously optimistic that by the end of the year not only will these sites perish; their suppliers (which give them slop plagiarism for free) will either charge a lot of money or shut down, as their financial state is awful (recent leaks from "open" "hey hi" served to affirm this).
Half a year ago we ended "Slopwatch", but we can always get back to it. Instead, we'll try to refrain from even giving the remaining slopfarms any visibility. █
