Slopwatch: LinuxSecurity, UbuntuPIT, Brian Fagioli, and Google News
Today's Slopwatch focuses on early Monday and Sunday, so it's understandably rather low in terms of volume. We focus on stories that are fake or LLM slop that disguises itself as "news" about Linux.
Let's start with the slopfarm of 'Linux''Security' (neither of the two), where an old name that we've not seen in a while has just shown up again:
First time in a while that LLM slop wasn't attributed to a pseudonym.
Here's the latest from a slopfarm (UbuntuPIT) of a person who at least admits he uses slop (after being repeatedly called out on this unethical practice of his):
In his latest, dated or timed hours ago based on the timestamp, he again admits using LLMs:
We've already explained, many times already, that LLMs cannot do what he claims them to do.
In the slopfarm of Brian Fagioli we have another slop image plus LLM slop (text):
Is he just plagiarising Marius Nestor, as usual?
Finally, for now at least, propped up by Google News this morning is this LLM slop with slop image:
LockBit is really about Windows (like the vast majority of ransomware in general), but they keep trying to paint it as something else. █
