I am so tired of low effort LLM slop in open source communities. 😞 The projects I work with aren't even big. I can't imagine what huge OSS projects are facing.

Even worse when they try to defend it with more LLM slop: "This isn't just X — it's Y".

I don't have a problem with LLM assistance, but slopping out 15K lines of something and asking a community to "review it" is so exhausting, it's basically a mental DDoS attack.

@nanianmichaels Thank you for this extremely valuable information. I had assumed they were not hackable in any useful way.

I now have a new Home Assistant panel running LineageOS 💪

@kishcom Note that some Alexa devices can be reflashed to stock Android, which can still be useful for some things, so throwing them out might not be necessary.

@aspensmonster You bet! And all just for private profits too!
