ubuntupit.com Has Paused the LLM Slop (for Now)
Spewing out worthless garbage at a high pace (quantity) is a deeply misguided plan
ubuntupit.com or UbuntuPIT used to be a good site with long, detailed articles. Then it sort of stopped. Then it came back. Then it experimented. Then it updated old articles. And it tried repeating other sites. Then came slop. Then it became a slopfarm, much to our regret. It then added a disclosure to all the slop pieces, which is probably better than none but still does not tackle the core issue.
As of today, it has been a week since it last did this:
That does not mean it won't resume. If it does resume, we hope for originals, not LLM slop.
The latest one seems to be slop, albeit this time without a disclaimer at the bottom.
The prior one also:
No slopfarm ever offered any real value. The reason we coined the term "slopfarm" is that it sounds a lot like spamfarm, which we didn't coin. Similarly we coined "openwashing" based on the term greenwashing. These are equally immoral, but inherently different in their nature.
Here is the slopfarm of Brian Fagioli, throwing at us LLM slop along with slop images:
UbuntuPIT (Mehedi Hasan), if you read this, don't become another Fagioli; please go back to how the site used to be. It had a lot of value before all those experiments with LLMs and we linked to everything.
The misguided idea that LLMs are the future is pure propaganda spread by scammers and their pseudo-economics. It's just another dangerous bubble. █
"Don’t believe me? Or, rather, don’t want to believe me? Jeff Bezos said there's a bubble. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has warned about it. Even Sam Altman – one of the architects of this cacophony of confusion – admitted we're in one. When January rolls around, and the axe begins to swing again (and it will), questions have to be asked about how companies are spending such vast sums on technology that, for the most part, isn't ready. And yet, when it comes time to balance the books, it'll be the human talent who will pay the price." -Ben Wodecki, October 10 2025 (exactly a month ago)
