Slopwatch Appreciated by Real Authors of GNU/Linux Articles
This week we are upgrading feed- or RSS-reading software [1, 2, 3]. One rather obnoxious aspect of today's feeds, including Google News, is the LLM slop. "UbuntuPIT stealing articles again," told us one person.
We covered this before in:
- Slopwatch: UbuntuPIT Joins the Slopfarms Club
- UbuntuPIT Became a Slopfarm and Gnoppix Tarnishes Its Own Brand With Slop
It was again mentioned later because there's no sign of it stopping.
"Hey," one author told us, "just a heads up that the [person] from UbuntuPIT is back at it again, stealing everything I write and probably using AI at it..."
"He keeps promoting himself on Reddit with the articles he steals from me, Phoronix, and OMG UBUNTU. P.S. Now I see on Techrights that you are aware of the situation :)"
We do try to keep on top of those things. █
