Slop Waning Whilst Originals Perish

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 14, 2026

Dilbert's author has just died. People who produce actual work of actual value perish. Their work then gets digested and misused by plagiarism machines. They say it's "AI", but it isn't. Slop images aren't even ML, they're usually fusion or CG on 'steroids' (lots of data and CPU/RAM thrown at the task).

On the other hand, those plagiarism machines are now facing very negative response and the accounting fraud company acts like Microsoft by demanding respect for its scam:

Nvidia CEO Says Everyone Should Stop Being So Negative About AI

This Nvidia CEO used to make money out of pyramid schemes after gaming (GPUs) weren't selling enough. As an associate puts it, Bitcoin / Cryptocurrencies == DunningKrugerands.

This is just Nvidia selling more of the same garbage, lots of computational power put to waste. The oil companies like it.

Looking around the Web, there's not so much slop that we can find about "Linux" this year. We've found nothing in RSS feed and in Google news only a couple of notorious slopfarms, the notorious one for sure:

Slop or fake: Linux Kernel’s Future: TAB Integrates Rust, Navigates AI, Boosts Collaboration

100% fake. And then a pair of domains run by the same slop scammers, saying something about "Linux":

Slop or fake: New VoidLink Cloud-Native Malware Attacking Linux Systems with Self-deletion Capabilities

Slop or fake: New VoidLink Cloud-Native Malware Targets Linux Systems With Self-Deletion Capabilities

Aside from that we've found nothing. Slop is way past its "prime".
