Not SlopWatch yet, as the patches need to be approved, but slopcode is coming to the amdgpu driver and... Kwin. All of the code involved was "written" by Claude.
Handling LLMs is such a spectrum, from vibe coding without reading or understanding anything to being 100% identical to what the author would have written by hand. Banning the latter would be like banning certain text editors.
We have been getting human written slop for years! We deal with this the same way.
Yes, but unlike text editors, LLMs and the companies behind them also: - assist in waging war using the same tech - drive up costs for marginalized and often poor communities by building lots of data centers - throw out all their climate goals to pursue AI - lie constantly about the capability of their tools to hype them up, causing lots of damages - I could keep going...
point is, unlike a text-editor, LLMs have real implications to their use that reach beyond the software.
