Matthias OttSo “Matt” and “Matt” from Cloudflare used their AI coding agents to slopfork WordPress? Really? 🤔🧐
Dennis Koch@matthiasott Will this create slop squared?
Matthias Wagler@matthiasott At first, that sounded like an April Fools' joke. Turns out it's true. 🤦😁
@mattwagl Thanks, Matthias … from Stuttgart … 🤔🧐
@matthiasott While I like the technical direction this thing is taking, I'm really having a hard time grasping the ethical implications of the latest "forks/rewrites" coming out of Cloudflare. 🤔
What will this mean for free software? Honestly, I don't know. But I surely don't want to live in a future where big tech is burning tokens in order to slop-copy the work of an entire community. Might be the end of the Open Source era…
