Slop Ruins Development and Reverse Engineering, It Rewards Retarded "Slop Kiddies" (to Quote Andy ‘TheFlow0’ Nguyen)
Slop boosters not only do enormous damage to Linux (see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of our ongoing series about slop overwhelming developers, bug tracking queues, kernel.org and so on). They practically - not virtually - attack the occupation of coders and sys-admins, not by offering something that outperforms them; they "flood the zone with s---" (to reuse a now-famous phrase). They kill whole projects and there's nothing left to "replace with hey hi" because nothing is left, at all. Everyone - users included - abandons. It's the same with slopfarms driving away audiences, then getting delisted from search engines.
Slop is just a fatal cancer that kills the body, then dies with the body it killed. Being a cancer, the real 'cure' is prevention (or interference - a proactive intervention - before it 'metastasises').
Read the reports about what "slop kiddies" did to Andy ‘TheFlow0’ Nguyen's work. It's quite illuminating. It makes a point. He devoted a lot of time to something sloppers destroy within minutes. Who benefits? Sony.
The "slop kiddies"* are destroying work that could bring GNU/Linux to many subsidised (by Sony) consoles. █

* Quoting what he said in full, without the nasty JavaScript: "I am stepping away from the ps5 scene and stopping all my work on ps5 linux. After pouring my heart and months of my life into it, including plans to finish ps5 pro support and release in 2027, it's all down the sink. The scene used to be a group of highly talented researchers, but now it is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don't even understand. Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony."
Killed by slop and reckless sloppers who snitch to Sony.
