A month ago: SDxCentral, which the Linux Foundation Paid to Produce Marketing SPAM, Has Now Become Slop (LLM Spew) Disguised as 'Articles'

This week from this Linux Foundation-sponsored junk site:

They even admit (in tiny tiny tiny fonts) that this is slop.

For reference, compare the official press releases to the slop (it's like the slop is just derived from the words written by the entity "covered")

Slop: Automotive Grade Linux Launches New Expert Group to Enhance Open Source Collaboration

Automotive Grade Linux has established a new Open Source Program Office Expert Group to enhance collaboration among automakers regarding open source software development. This initiative is expected to facilitate the sharing of best practices and streamline open source activities within the industry.

On Nov. 14, 2024, Automotive Grade Linux, a collaborative project focusing on a software-defined vehicle platform, announced the formation of the Expert Group led by Toyota. The group aims to promote the establishment of Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) within the automotive sector and to foster information sharing and best practices.
Press release: Automotive Grade Linux Launches New Expert Group Led by Toyota to Help Automakers Manage Open Source Activities

Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative cross-industry effort developing an open source platform for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), has created a new Open Source Program Office (OSPO) Expert Group (EG). Led by Toyota, the OSPO EG will promote the establishment of OSPOs within the automotive industry and encourage the sharing of information and best practices between them.

Open source software has become more prevalent across the automotive industry as automakers invest more time and resources into software development. Automakers like Toyota and Subaru are using open source software for infotainment and instrument cluster applications. Other open source applications across the automotive industry include R&D, testing, vehicle-to-cloud and fleet management.

This is a corruption of the Web.
