A day in the life of a FOSS maintainer:

Close a #meson PR and label as #llmslop. The PR is incorrect and I certainly won't be going to lengths to tell the author what to fix. I would prefer zero LLM PRs at all, but if you're going to submit one don't have the bare cheek to be completely low quality.

Immediately get harassed by other project maintainers who insist that you're "unfriendly to contributors". Maybe I shouldn't have called the LLM a clanker?

#AISlop

arXiv talk at #OpenRepositories "We are banning users who submit unchecked LLM-generated content for a year!" 🙌

"LLM Slop: Sanction users who submit unchecked LLM-generated content that degrades repository integrity."

Today in unethical LLM companies.

[email protected], probably a bot although claiming the human name "Luca King", has sent several emails to me, same minute, different Gentoo project aliases. Subject is the name of a Gentoo package. Email body:

"Hi,

I read the Gentoo metadata for $subject.

I'm curious are you using coding agents to build this?

Luca"

It's obviously trying to sell me slop. The human behind this should be ashamed, and preferably arrested for fraud.

Getting a bit sick of fielding LLM PRs. I understand why many projects have a no-LLM policy. I'm generally fine getting good PRs, LLM-aided or not, but the poor ones are just complete wastes of time. They all read the same, good or not, so I have to spend quite a bit of time sussing through it to determine which ones are useless or not. They're all "bug fixes" or "security improvements".

No, it does not make sense for an CLI argument parsing library to scan through argv to make sure it doesn't contain null pointers. That's ridiculous. No, it does not make sense for a CLI argument parsing library to defend against an input argument size overflowing size_t. When the fuck would that ever happen?

The PRs that actually fix a missed fallthrough causing undefined behavior look exactly the same as the ones that defend against somebody passing a 4GiB string as a CLI argument. They all have descriptions full of nothing but fluff, they all add much more code than they remove, they all bloat the code with more abstractions and indirections, and they all take way longer to review than the equivalent human-written code.

I'm even not against getting LLM contributions, but I'm getting sick of the fucking spam, and I'm losing patience with figuring out the difference between the two.

Dank #LLMSlop sehe ich immer mehr Posts von deutschen Muttersprachler*innen ! mit völlig abstrusen Wortbildungen. Leute, macht Fehler. Steht zu euren *menschlichen* Fehlern! Aber bitte tut nicht mit siebenfingrigen Wortgetümen, als seid ihr perfekt!
Irrt euch menschlich. Maschinenkrampf lässt euch lächerlich erscheinen, weil echte Menschen so nie klingen.

Can Firefox stop trying to force me to try its AI features already?

(I'm still using it because constraint, don't come to me with alternatives, I'm not asking.)

The amount of hand-holding and guidance you have to provide to LLMs in order to keep them from spewing inaccessible HTML is quite ridiculous. Gotta admit though that setting up a CI to catch these issues is a good idea, whether you use LLM or not.

AI sloppity slop.

The cover illustration screams AI. Sure enough, zooming in I see someone apparently painting from behind the easel, while her companion looks on from in front.

Linux Foundation's AI policy: "If any pre-existing copyrighted materials[...] are included in the AI tool’s output, [..] the Contributor should confirm that they have have permission from the third party owners" https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai

"If"? Why not "whenever"? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3543507.3583199 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949719123000213#b7 https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/01/ai-memorization-research/685552/

And how would the contributor even be aware, should they research every snippet for hours?

Seems like an impossible policy, or am I missing something...?
