Planet Ubuntu - or Ubuntu Planet - Has an LLM Slop Problem (Called Faizul "Piju" 9M2PJU)

Some weeks ago we began showing that Faizul "Piju" 9M2PJU had turned to LLM slop (either fully or partially). We've brought this up, with actual examples, about half a dozen times. Yesterday it happened again:

Reticulum: The Future of Secure and Resilient Networking

It's LLM slop:

Reticulum is more than just a network

Even right now the top 2 items in the "planet" are slop (LLM slop with mild editing), so Canonical syndicates machine-generated trash:

LLM slop

If Planet Ubuntu or any other planet cannot get the LLM slop "under control", fewer people will have a reason to be 'subscribed'. It's bad enough that the US government ramps up its attack on the media; what we need right now isn't more fake articles but a good ratio of 100% (real/fake) and a good volume of investigative reporting, such as pointing out Microsoft hired stranglers of women (who in turn try to digitally strangle those who merely mention that).

Does investigative reporting have any future at all?
