tl;dr clickbaity title for an article that cites xitter and tries to sell their security solutions
🤣 this post died in April. It just doesn’t know it yet.
This post reeks of AI generated text.
The zombie isn’t open source. It’s the way you’ve been consuming it for the last twenty years.
Putting makeup on the zombie while it’s peeing all over the place isn’t a security strategy. It’s just a longer, sadder, grosser goodbye.
March isn’t when the bite happened. It’s when the smell finally became impossible to ignore.
https://slopdetector.org/ says it has too diverse vocabulary.
AI content detectors seem to have very different opinions about the article.
But thank you for bringing this site to my attention. It appears terrible.
The website you linked appears to be slop itself. Insubstantive, rambling, exhibiting all the hallmarks of slop (“it’s not X, EMDASH, it’s Y”). And it’s apparently pro AI (read: pro slop), Complaining that people dare “judge origin, not quality.”
In three consecutive sentences, Slopsite insists AI can “produce useful, substantive content when prompted well”, regurgitates a slop phrase (“about X not Y” style), and then gets weirdly misanthropic (“Humans write slop too”).
But okay, let’s listen to them and see it judge content not quality:
Not A but B. Not A but B. Not A but B. Not A but B. Not A but B.
Low slop.
Every word a pattern. Every pattern an algorithm. Every algorithm a meaning.
Not slop. 0/20 (perfect) score on “vocabulary diversity”.
Bonus: Slopsite is the worst AI slop (I repeat myself). It uses an AI-generated list of examples of slop, and most of them point to nonexistent URLs.

This links to a nonexistent article with “2024” in the URL.
I tried to get a trial of their product and they kept trying to schedule a sales call. If you can’t even give people a trial then your product is extremely weak
Why oh why can’t people use the right names for things?
Open Source didn’t die. NPM just proved its controls insufficiently trustworthy.
This is kin to red hat including a subscription check in their branded Linux distros and then screaming that “Linux is no longer free” just because one vendor wants to get paid.
Except, of course, that it’s even dumber that that because it’s about “enterprise IT”, where everything is either a billion dollar project or a hack put together by some salaryfolk in their spare time. (Or both, simultaneously.)
the muski boi reference was irrelevant
yeah, that was cringy
the world’s most-followed person
most followed on his own echo chamber :clap: :clap: :clap:
Also probably also the most blocked person
