⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 2025: The Year LLM Slop Rose to Prominence

With only a week left in 2025 now is a good time to look back and reflect.
Let's consider LLMs, which lack intelligence despite being described (in paid-
for media puff pieces) as "AI".


At the very end of 2024 we got concerned that many articles about "Linux" were
in fact LLM slop with slop images. After about 2 years of Microsoft chatbots
gullible people were led to assume this was "the future". Right now, 12 months
later, it's hard to find any examples of that. This past week the Serial
Slopper had a go at it:


 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Nissan_confirms_customer_data_leak_after_Red
                              Hat_server_breach⦈_


Aside from that and "LinuxSecurity", we've found almost nothing else. Sites
that previously dabbled in LLM slop became inactive. They realised it_wasn't
going_to_succeed,_it_only_eroded_their_reputation.


Perhaps by the end of 2026 the LLM slop regarding "linux" (or "Linux") will
have ended completely. One can hope.


Yesterday I discussed a certain phenomenon with a friend: suppliers of slop
lack a business model, then they start charging users, then the users flee to
the rivals that are still free, whereupon the latter see a surge in "demand"
and therefore a surge in operating costs (losses). People just aren't willing
to pay for slop images and chatbots; the moment you try to get people to pay
for it they'll walk away and look for other free offerings, so in effect the
core issue here is a value mismatch; slop costs a lot to produce, but people
don't value it enough to justify/cover these energy bills, staff (salaries),
hardware etc.


This is why the slop hype is bound to end. █

Whether Facebook immediately implements it or presses "snooze"/"pause" (to do
the same_later, using some other decoy/marketing spin) doesn't matter. What
matters is that Facebook made up its mind; there are financial problems and
Facebook wants to squeeze Facebook users.


Facebook already lost a fortune (and grew_its_already-massive_debt) by
rebranding its company "Meta" (for "metaverse" hype), then trying "AI", which
is a_popping_bubble.


It's hard not to see where this is going. Nothing is free in the world; some
things are only temporarily free. █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GitHub Isn't Free, Microsoft Subsidises It
(Losses) to Entrap You Inside Proprietary Software, Now Come the
Fees⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2025


"GitHub will charge $0.002 per minute," says Microsoft_Tim. But that's about
$100 per month (and those costs will_rise over time).


  🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GitHub_justifies_the_change_by_noting_that_GitHub-hosted
      revenue_was_subsidizing_free_self-hosted_runners,_despite_costs_for
   “maintaining_and_evolving_GitHub_Actions”_(which_now_runs_71_million_jobs
                                   daily).⦈_


GitHub was never free. GitHub always loses_money. It always did. The strategy
was, tolerate losses or 'subsidise' deficits, then sell to a hostile firm like
Microsoft, then - eventually - exploit control over projects, developers and
users somehow (e.g. to squeeze out fees out of them, censor them selectively,
implant back doors and so on).


GitHub's latest move sort of mirrors Facebook's efforts to charge people to
post links (in Facebook). We're_guessing_YouTube_too_will_add_some_additional
fees_over_time.


GAFAM needs some business model as debt soars and the_slop_bubble_reaches_its
limits. Earlier this year Microsoft reclassified GitHub as "AI" [1, 2] to
appease investors, who must be worried about the losses. If one says losses in
the context of "AI", then it's spun as "investment"; then, the_sky_is_the
limit! █

Some months ago someone told me she had been invited to study "AI" skills. I
told her it was a scam meant to shoulder some hype needs. It wasn't actually
AI, it was likely some "slop-prompting" diploma mill.


IBM is nowadays part of this problem. Having failed at voice recognition
(erroneously and misleadingly spun as "intelligence"), the company now chases
another_gimmick and it got some slopfarms in India to promote slop under the
guise of "SkillsBuild".


What skills does that give? Making more slopfarms? █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ In India, Staff Works on Christmas Eve,
Becomes Unemployed (Last Day)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

Earlier this month: IBM_Will_Make_You_Unemployed_On_Christmas_Eve


2_hours ago: (Bengaluru, Karnataka, India)


    🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Today_i_signed_in_for_my_last_working_day_at_IBM.⦈_


We were not planning to write much (or anything) today or this evening, but
this one seems timely. We keep seeing people whom IBM (also Microsoft) compels
to work during Christmas and for some of them it is the "last day", which can
be agonising (they didn't choose to leave). "It’s clear they don’t know what
they are doing and haven’t for some time now," someone_said_about_the
leadership_today.


Another new_thread_says there's censorship: "Alvinds lackeys monitoring this
board again? Yesterday I did a post criticizing Krabanaugh and these mods
deleted it. Do these mods hate the truth?"


Among the replies: "Funny how a few of the best-stated posts vanished all of a
sudden. Lots of facts and truths they don’t want outside world understanding or
knowing about. Hurts their narrative of things. Sure seems like somethin’s up
to me" (criticism_of_the_CEO_is_presumed_racist).


Another notes: "Have you noticed anything criticizing H1-B Visas usually get
deleted too?"


Visas are "racist", especially the types of visas that are predominantly
granted to people from India.


In another thread they moan_about_the_leaders, arguing "the IBM CEO and most of
his executives sleep well at night like Vlad the Impaler who ki-led many of his
countrymen and then feasted like a blood thirsty vampire."


"Don’t “low performers” get fired through pip? Our people laid off in Albany
only had a few “low performers” mixed in," says the latest. Albany staff is in
trouble.


It's also pointed out that, as before, there's likely a_paid-for_accolade:


    🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Drucker_Institute_Releases_2025_Management_Rankings
                       Highlighting_a_Year_of_Balance⦈_


Probably faked (pay-to-say), like others that we saw and mentioned before.


To quote: "What innovation does IBM have other than to demonstrate new and
exciting ways to lay off employees in the US and then migrate their jobs to
India ? It sure hasn't been at the forefront of any technological innovation
from AI down to Quantum. So the question is "How much did the powers that run
IBM pay the Drucker Institute to put their name in the list" ? LOL. Of course,
Alvind has been instrumental in finding innovative ways to bump up his 2025
bonus."


"This assessment is difficult to take seriously," says the latest. "If the
Drucker Institute had meaningful visibility into our day-to-day operations, it
would be hard to reconcile their conclusions with what is actually happening
inside the organization. Management dysfunction is not isolated; it is
systemic. Many individuals in leadership roles have never been properly
prepared or educated to lead or manage, and the results are visible across the
company. The more unsettling possibility is that this evaluation is
accurate—and that conditions in other places are an absolute sh-tshow."


No, IBM really is in a bad position, not only compared to GAFAM. But IBM has
long spent a lot of money on media and fake awards; anything to pretend to be
better off than it is.


Working hard during weekends and holidays won't secure one's job/role at IBM.
The company fires based on how "expensive" workers are more often than based on
their productivity. █

The year's accomplishments include raised awareness at the EPO, where
Cocainegate became known to everybody (management_is_unable_to_hide_it).
Industrial_action will follow and in a few days we'll resume the EPO People
Power series*.


Europe's patent system is run by thugs and it serves thugs. It's meant help
patent trolls and monopolists - ones that aren't even European. More and more
people can see that.


Maybe in 2026 we can make headway and see António_Campinos ousted_by_his
government (like Jesper_Kongstad). █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ My New CD Player/Stereo Didn't Even Last a
Year, My CD Player/Stereo From the Early 1990s Still
Works⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2025


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇CD_Player⦈_


Last night when I went to bed I was baffled and then astounded to find that the
CD player/stereo I had purchased earlier this year would not even turn on.
Nothing. I tried many sockets, I tried all sorts of other things. Opening
(unscrewing the thing) would likely offer no remedy without knowing the
equipment or even knowing what's wrong with it. No display, nothing.


That helped reaffirm what I said in recent years about production/manufacturing
standards of "modern" things. Made cheaply, even if this particular one was
boxed and not cheap, they just don't last very long and repairing them is close
to impossible.


Right now I use the stereo I've had since I was a kid. It still works.


And they say only a "Luddite" would insist on "old things" and persist with
what worked for many decades (in this case, 3 decades).


Tonight I'll have a look inside the "new" stereo and see if I can fix it
somehow (never give up!). I very much doubt it. I don't even have equipment to
test it with, nor the relevant skilled (which my grandfather possessed; he was
a radio technician). █

Is the "king of slop" naked?


This morning: 2025:_The_Year_LLM_Slop_Rose_to_Prominence_and_Then_Fell


The Oracle deal with fictional money was sleight of hand. It won't happen. What
about NVIDIA? Circular financing again? Money that does not exist?


What about Softbank? Oh_noes! Turns out it lacks the money it promised to give
Microsoft 'Open' 'AI'.


How much more debt can Microsoft 'Open' 'AI' endure?


See, we don't truly expect Microsoft 'Open' 'AI' to last much longer. New
releases are getting_worse, costs are going up, and controversy piles up while
usage goes down.


Today (since the morning) we've found not a single example of slop about
"linux" except this 2026-labeled slop from a notorious slopfarm:

                            Privacy_and_Security⦈_


Maybe in 2026 slop will be scarce enough that eventually, maybe by year's end,
we'll manage to just ignore it. █

2025 is not over yet, but more sites now say what_we_pointed_out_last_month.
"XBox" is basically over and the brand is just being reused or re-purposed to
describe something it isn't (it wasn't).


As some context to all this:


    * Microsoft_brings_Xbox_Cloud_Gaming_to_Amazon_Fire_TV_with_console-free
      play
    * More_Amazon_Fire_TV_devices_just_became_virtual_Xbox_consoles
    * Some_Amazon_Fire_Smart_TVs_Now_Let_You_Play_Xbox_Games
    * Xbox_Cloud_Gaming_is_Coming_to_the_Latest_Amazon_Fire_TV_Smart_TVs
So XBox is now "cloud". Should Microsoft merge that into "Cloud Division" and
hail "Cloud Growth" in the next quarterly report (January)?


Call me crazy or old-fashioned, but I seem to recall "XBox" being an actual
console; now that Microsoft is failing to sell the darn thing (even at a
considerable loss!) it's all "sour grapes" from start to finish. Microsoft will
pretend that it just doesn't want to sell consoles. █

                # ⚓ On_Tea⠀⇛


                       Tea is the drink of wizards, sojourners, and
                       fearsome twelve-year olds (like I once was) alike.
                       It has both coffee's energy and wine's allure. For
                       those it suffices, connoiseurship of tea is more
                       prestigious than oenophilia and can be even more
                       expensive.


                # ⚓ Love⠀⇛


                       I was disconsolate, sobbing, so out of control it
                       woke my daughter up because of the pain, the fever,
                       me who depends so much on being articulate at a
                       loss for words, unable to communicate clearly to
                       Evy how my motivator, how I pushed through the pain
                       and fatigue, was love of her, how I needed to care
                       for myself or be cared for and sleep, how much I
                       treasure her.


                       Daughter did something for the first time. She
                       walked up the steps, gently entered my room, and
                       just instantly treated me like I or Evy treat her
                       when she's hurting or crying. She held my hand. She
                       asked, "Are you hurting?" She listened patiently.
                       She offered to refill my water bottle, then sort of
                       did.


                # ⚓ Entry_4_-_The_Storm⠀⇛


                       I'm ... um not jealous but, in awe of the life my
                       work friend / crush lives. Maybe a little jealous.
                       Maybe it's touching on a raw nerve of my grief for
                       a life that could have been - who I could have
                       been, if I hadn't gotten lost in the storm for so
                       many years.


                       The way she was describing herself today. And
                       describing her dog, "a dog of a girl in her
                       twenties", and how he's the first baby of her
                       friend group. And the freedom, the taking herself
                       on road trips / taking herself camping, living with
                       her best friend roommate and making silly learning-
                       to-adult mistakes.

          o ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Pink_Floyd_Releases_'Wish_You_Were_Here'_Video_50
            Years_Later_-_WATCH⠀⇛


                 Fifty years after the release of Pink Floyd‘s Wish You
                 Were Here, the band returned earlier this month with a
                 massive anniversary box set to celebrate the landmark
                 1975 album. About a week after the retrospective
                 compilation arrived, the band treated fans to a music
                 video of the stunning title track — filled with
                 everything from nostalgic footage of the band in the
                 studio and running through a subway station to whimsical
                 animations of a figurine floating through time and space.


          o ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ Denmark's_Postal_Service_Is_About_to_Stop
            Delivering_Physical_Letters_After_400_Years⠀⇛


                 On December 30, PostNord will deliver its last letter in
                 Denmark. The government-owned company, which formed in
                 2009 as a merger between the Swedish and Danish postal
                 services, will continue distributing packages in Denmark.
                 Letter delivery in Sweden will also continue.


          o ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ As_Germans_Drink_Alone_at_Home,_Community_Pubs
            Are_Closing⠀⇛


                 Skyrocketing prices and stagnating real wages are forcing
                 more and more pubs to shut their doors. The closing of
                 neighborhood pubs means the loss of leisure space, and of
                 the community built around it.


          o ⚓ Peter Hosey ☛ Idle_Time_»_Blog_Archive_»_Nestle_vs._Wakefield:
            Comparing_two_versions_of_the_Toll_House_chocolate_chip_cookie
            recipe⠀⇛


                 The linked article says, in the section on measuring,
                 “Whenever possible, flour should be measured using a
                 scale.” Since I learned that, I’ve made numerous half-
                 batches with the flour scaled by weight, and they’ve come
                 out perfectly every time.


                 So I wouldn’t even say you should measure flour by
                 sifting it—you should weigh it. But, of course, that
                 requires knowing what the correct weight is. Back in the
                 recipe, Chu continues: [...]


          o ⚓ Mark Hysted ☛ things_I_will_spend_more_time_on_in_2026⠀⇛


                 This is the inverse of my recent post about stuff I'd
                 like to dump in 2026. Here is the list of stuff I'd like
                 to spend more time on next year.


                 I suppose they are a bit like new year resolutions, but
                 framing in terms of spending more time rather than
                 something I could 'tick off' feels like a longer term
                 aspiration and therefore more likely to happen (in my
                 head anyway).


          o ⚓ André Machado ☛ The_Greco-Roman_Legacy_We_Still_Live_By⠀⇛


                 Walk through any modern city and the ancient
                 Mediterranean rises to meet you. A courthouse fronted by
                 columns. A senate debating in a circular chamber. A
                 stadium roaring with civic pride. The Greek polis and the
                 Roman republic are not relics locked in museums. They are
                 the foundation stones of how we organize public life, how
                 we argue about truth, and how we imagine what a good
                 society should be.


                 The legacy of the Greeks and Romans is not a single
                 inheritance. It is a layered tradition of ideas,
                 institutions, and habits that were absorbed, rewritten,
                 and challenged over centuries. We live with their
                 brilliance and their blind spots at the same time.
                 Understanding what carried forward helps us see which
                 parts of our culture are ancient echoes and which are
                 modern inventions.


          o ⚓ Tim Bray ☛ Humanist_Plumbing⠀⇛


                 What happened was, a faucet started dripping. And then I
                 managed to route around the malignant machineries of
                 late-stage capitalism. These days, that’s almost always a
                 story worth telling.


          o ⚓ Seth Godin ☛ Random_access⠀⇛


                 The first difficult task is to consistently and
                 persistently create one tile after another. Showing up to
                 earn trust, attention and a voice.


                 And the second is to make sure it all rhymes.


          o ⚓ Brandon ☛ Thoughts_While_Digital_Cleaning⠀⇛


                 Last night, I spent a couple of hours closing out random

                 I sometimes wish I’d grown up in the era of written
                 letters, or that email and long-form written
                 correspondences were more fashionable than they currently
                 are. There is something quite enjoyable about sitting
                 down and intentionally writing to someone, for hours
                 even. The times that I’ve sat down to write something
                 long-form to a friend, or have received the same, feel
                 qualitatively different from the accumulation of many
                 shorter messages.

                       The Hjortspring boat was nearly 66 feet long, and

                       have been enough for 80 warriors. As such,
                       researchers think four Hjortspring-style boats may

                       to various international disagreements resulted in
                       queues, conflicts, and rising costs. One result was
                       a drive toward greater efficiencies. Perhaps it's

                             well for a proper winter. Although the year

                             fast and dumb. The people in charge are
                             hellbent on giving us artificially
                             intelligent colleagues and companions, and
                             they’re banking on a heavy assumption: that
                             we value the sense of a relationship more
                             than a living person. That we will privilege
                             the feeling over the fact. They might not be
                             wrong. For the past year, C. and I have been

                             Super Learner is an ensemble machine learning
                             algorithm that optimally combines predictions
                             from multiple candidate algorithms to create
                             a single ensembled model. Rather than
                             selecting a single “best” model through
                             traditional model selection methods, Super
                             Learner leverages the strengths of various
                             algorithms by creating a weighted average of
                             their predictions. The fundamental insight is
                             elegant: why choose between a random forest,
                             generalized linear model, or gradient
                             boosting machine when you can let the data
                             determine the optimal combination of all
                             three? This approach was introduced by Mark
                             van der Laan and colleagues and has become
                             particularly popular in causal inference and
                             epidemiology, often paired with Targeted

                       The first part of the Court’s response to Trump is
                       a bit alarming. The Court’s order explains that the
                       words “regular forces,” as it is used by the
                       relevant statute, “likely refers to the regular
                       forces of the United States military.” Thus, Trump
                       cannot use the National Guard unless he is somehow
                       unable to enforce the law by using the full might
                       of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, and
                       Marines.


                       This argument could be troubling, because it seems
                       to goad Trump into actually attempting to use the
                       regular Army or Marines on political protesters.
                       But, the Court’s Illinois order also contains some
                       language suggesting that his power to use the
                       regular military is also limited.

                       relied on leaked documents outlining the
                       infiltration operations. Following rounds of
                       negative publicity and a civil rights suit that was
                       settled in 2018, the NYPD “demographics unit” was
                       disbanded. Hashmi did not sign on to the settlement
                       and lost his original open-records case in 2018,
                       when a 4-3 Court of Appeals decision affirmed the
                       NYPD’s ability to use a “Glomar” response to his
                       request for documents about the mosque-raking
                       program, neither confirming nor denying the

                       The most concrete new detail is an internal email
                       dated January 7, 2020, in which a New York
                       prosecutor said flight records showed Trump took
                       eight trips on Epstein’s private jet between 1993
                       and 1996 – more than investigators were aware of at
                       the time.


                       The email – marking the most detailed account yet
                       of Trump’s travel alongside Epstein – says
                       Ghislaine Maxwell was aboard at least four of those
                       flights.


                       Maxwell is now serving a 20-year prison sentence
                       for offenses including sex trafficking a minor. It
                       also describes one flight where the only passengers
                       were Epstein, Trump and an unidentified 20-year-old
                       woman, plus two other flights involving women
                       described as possible Maxwell-case witnesses.

                       These details alone are a lot to take in. That they
                       are just a few needles of newsworthy information in

                       across screenshots of what appear to be emails
                       between prosecutors in Epstein’s 2008 sex-crimes
                       case, which resulted in Epstein getting a cushy
                       plea deal (almost all of the names in the email are
                       redacted). I can think of no reason that the names
                       of those who afforded him such an arrangement
                       shouldn’t be made public. In one of the emails,
                       from late May of that year, one person mentions an
                       unnamed person, presumably Epstein, spending only
                       90 days in jail. “Please tell me you are joking,”
                       the other replies. “Maybe we should throw him a
                       party and tell him we are sorry to have bothered
                       him.” Such emails, although redaction-heavy, are
                       the kind of information that journalists and
                       investigators have longed for—they shed partial
                       light on the government’s leniency in the case.
                       Still, the release is piecemeal and difficult to
                       comb through; as a result, it paints an unclear

                       the attention, the Associated Press has a very good
                       story you should read about Carr’s efforts to bully
                       a Bay Area radio station (KCBS) after it accurately
                       informed locals about the goonish behavior of
                       masked ICE agents.


                       Carr opened a fake investigation into the network
                       last February, claiming the station had violated
                       ambiguous public interest standards. The fake
                       inquiries were tethered to a right wing antisemitic
                       propaganda campaign attempting to link George Soros
                       to these stations despite Soros’ limited investment
                       involvement being both irrelevant and three or four
                       layers deep.

                       What would happen to the world's music collections
                       if streaming services disappeared? One hacktivist
                       group says it has a solution: scrape around 300
                       terabytes of music and metadata from Spotify and
                       offer it up for free as what it calls the world’s
                       first “fully open” music preservation archive.


                       The scraping appears to have been carried out by
                       people associated with Anna's Archive, a shadow-
                       library site that focuses on preserving media -
                       traditionally books and academic papers - by
                       aggregating metadata and distributing large
                       datasets rather than directly hosting copyrighted
                       works. In practice, Anna's Archive functions more
                       like a metadata search engine, allowing users to
                       find the content they want and connecting them with
                       downloads, usually via torrent, from other sources
                       to reduce legal liability.


                       In a Saturday blog post, the group said it couldn't
                       pass up an opportunity "outside of text" to scrape
                       Spotify at scale, claiming to have archived roughly
                       86 million music files, which it says account for
                       about 99.6 percent of listens on the platform.

                 Every winter in Osaka, thousands gather at a temple to
                 laugh—nonstop—for 20 minutes. Known as "Owarai Shinji",
                 this rare ritual draws on ancient Japanese mythology,
                 where laughter once brought the sun back to the world.
                 More than humor, they see it as a disciplined act of
                 unity, hope, and renewal.

                       massive shortage of certain components. With random

                       years, decades, or however-long the current AI

                  Firms:_2025_in_Review⠀⇛


                       The US legal profession was just one of the pillars
                       of American democracy that was targeted in the
                       early days of the second Trump administration. At
                       EFF, we were proud to publicly and loudly support
                       the legal profession and, most importantly,
                       continue to do our work challenging the
                       government’s erosion of digital rights—work that
                       became even more critical as many law firms shied
                       away from pro bono work.


                       For those that don’t know: pro bono work is work
                       that for-profit law firms undertake for the public
                       good. This usually means providing legal counsel to
                       clients who desperately need but cannot afford it.
                       It’s a vital practice, since non-profits like EFF
                       don’t have the same capacity, resources, or
                       expertise of a classic white shoe law firm. It’s
                       mutually beneficial, actually, since law firms and
                       non-profits have different experience and areas of
                       expertise that can supplement each other’s work.
