Digg shuts down (again)

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/03/digg-shuts-down-again/

Projects like Log4j are seeing a flood of low-quality, likely AI-generated security reports that overwhelm maintainers with noise. After high volumes since Dec 2025, only a tiny fraction are real issues and reviewing them strains volunteer time.

Code generation by #AI is not bad per se, but you should still know what you are doing.

AI spam is still obvious

Here is some recent AI spam. This comment actually talks about the topic of the post, which is a step up from the generic one-size-fits-all comments.

Not shown are a number of clues that identify this as spam. Shown is the text and the link. The link alone gives it a spammy vibe. The text, though – that’s where the uncanny valley kicks in. The comment itself shows no actual comprehension. The result is so completely generic to be obvious at a glance. No human would write that after reading my review.

There are other clues, too. I’m going to keep them to myself because I have no intention of helping to train a spamming AI model.

By way of slack:

> Simple interview tactic used on me yesterday to prevent AI usage:
"I'm going to give you a technical question to talk through. When I ask you the question, I want you to close your eyes when you talk through it."
Not perfect...determined people will find a way around that, but perhaps not in the immediate moment.
