For about a month, I have been mentoring an intern. It's disappointing to see AI being used for everything:
- Writing an advisory on an ongoing threat? AI. Everything is rephrased, and as a reader, it's impossible to understand the point of the advisory.
- Not understanding computer science concepts? AI. It's poorly explained and inaccurate.
- Adding a new feature in code? AI. The task was easy and should have taken five minutes by copying and adjusting another part of the code. I've seen three versions of the same code, all with a strange use of the library it relies on and nonsensical comments.
I'm only 30 and I already feel like a boomer, even though I need to work for that many more years. Is learning new things and trying to understand them so boring?
Not to mention OpenClaw, Moltbook, and other recent insanities. What a pleasure to see the planet burn for that.
Wer ist noch nicht genervt von #KI? Egal ob #Slop auf Insta, enttäuschende Antworten bei #ChatGPT oder trashige Werbespots: KI ruininiert gerade ihren Ruf, dachte ich.
Ich hab jetzt mit Klaus-Robert Müller (BIFOLD) – #Leibnizpreisträger und echte #AI-Koryphäe – gesprochen und das hat mir meine Perspektive wieder etwas zurechtgerückt.

Klaus‑Robert Müller hat das maschinelle Lernen mit erfunden. Ein Gespräch über Dystopien per Mausklick und die Frage, ob Europa eine Tech-Szene entwickeln kann, die die USA abhängt.
You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload
No we don't. This is just a temporary vapor promise. The enshittification will continue. So don't erase this USB key with a Linux ISO. Use it. Use it for all of us. We have to break free from corporate techno fascists.

Or you can free yourself. Switch.

People familiar with Microsoft's plans say that the company moving to streamline or remove certain Copilot integrations across in-box apps like Notepad and Paint in 2026, after pushback from users.
Keine Ahnung wie ich über den Beitrag gestolpert bin, aber der ist so voller KI Slop und Fehler, dass das jedem auffallen muss. Scheußlich.

I have configured my default search engine in Chrome to be Google with "-ai" appended to each search to suppress as much slop as possible.
After a browser update, the slop has returned.
My 'custom' default search engine is still there, they've just removed the "-ai" from the string. This is simple to fix but it seems like an oddly specific change to include in an update.
Tricked! But only for a bit. I was looking for something on Invidious and I saw an interesting-looking video. Watched a bit of it. It was a bit repetitious, but an interesting topic. Saved the video to watch with the family later, started watching another. The voice was really... repetitious. Same concepts covered repeatedly.
I thought to myself, "Is this slop?"
Then I start searching around and, lo and behold, I found this ad for the channel, looking for writers:
Skills desired included Claude, ChatGPT, and Googmini. (Gemini is a protocol. They can't have it.)
On last night's stream a YouTube viewer asked why I didn't use AI. I gave the standard response of "I actually like to write code..." among others.
And then today I see this story... 🤣
