Slopless Weekend

Yesterday I saw no LLM slop about "linux" (or "Linux") and with the exception of the Serial Slopper and Linuxiac, it's probably safe to assume that it is already becoming a lot less of a problem this year.

On Saturday I saw only one slopfarm in Google News:

Slop or fake: AutoPentestX – Automated Penetration Testing Toolkit Designed for Linux systems

In a Microsoft-sponsored Microsoft propaganda site, Todd Bishop (a Microsoft operative who burns Microsoft whistleblowers) is attempting to spin Microsoft's demise that's linked to the slop bubble. This was 7 hours ago:

Microsoft’s historic plunge: Why the company lost $357 billion in value

He waffles on and on with excuses. Bishop has spent decades as a Microsoft propagandist coloured as "journalist". He's operated by his sponsor, Microsoft. It's a bit like Rob Enderle.

2 days ago we published: Microsoft 'Open' 'AI' Reportedly About to Become Bankrupt, Seeking Emergency Cash Infusion (Loans)

If or when 'Open' 'AI' dies completely, the slop bubble will implode fast due to widespread panic and 'domino effect'; Microsoft and NVIDIA cannot afford this implosion, so they'll carry on losing money to keep this debt-saddled failure of a company chugging along for a while longer.

This is not sustainable.

Slop is basically on 'life support' at this point.

How to spin Oracle's failure as "AI" something? "Oracle faces at least 20,000 job cuts to fund AI expansion"

These job cuts could save Oracle $8 to $10 billion in cash flow, which it desperately needs to fund these projects

It says "AI expansion" and sometimes they say "AI efficiency drive" or some other malarkey.

Slopfarms gonna slop about slop-induced collapse being a case of "slop investment".
