Microsoft's "FUD-as-a-Service" (Against Linux) Not Functioning Well
An hour ago: The EPO, Europe's Largest Patent Office, Admits Outsourcing to Microsoft Slop (giving Microsoft control over decisions in patent tribunals)
Search for "Linux" in Google News today. It'll spew out two slopfarms with slop images. Compare the headlines:
Lack of permutation in the slop? It's just LLM slop, yet it is promoted as "Linux" news.
This is the kind of contribution companies like Microsoft and Google have to offer to society: Slop. Nonsense. Noise.
Will the above slopfarms ever be delisted by Google? Well, under the name "Gemini" Google itself is peddling slop. Google is part of the problem; it won't solve it.
Will the above slopfarms ever die like BetaNews? Possibly. We've already seen many slopfarms that died (as a failed experiment) because when readers realise they read machine-generated spew/salad of words they lose interest and never come back.
At the end of the day society will come to the conclusion that "hey hi" - like "blockchain" - wastes of a lot of energy and delivers almost nothing of real value in return. █
