If the dead Internet theory wasn't true before, it sure will be soon.

One of the issues is that the purpose of business internet writing is not to be read, but to be ranked well.

I've seen this blog slop on Google for the last month or so, no action taken whatsoever. it's mostly bullshit or regurgitated info from docs. like Google or their Search team really doesn't seem to care at all. all of a sudden a random blog website just happens to rank first page on every topic

Commit maker is here and have only posts slop here as well. https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ndhandala wonder when will he submit them here.

I thought somebody counted them… incredibly, the log message admits to committing 12,000 articles. I guess that means the log message was authored by AI as well. Figures.

At which URL(s) are the blog posts visible?

"Showing 1 - 25 of 45488 posts" I miss the days when we could assume that's just a pagination code bug

I am so glad DuckDuckGo allows blocking specific sites from the search. Just did this for a domain linked in this repository.

Github only reports 5012 changed files though.

> Showing 1-25 of 58891 posts I have to imagine that one quality post worth reading would be linked in multiple places, thus would beat tens of thousands of slop articles for SEO purposes?

AI is the stellar moment for all mediocrity and conmen.

I suspect we'll address this by just going back to older ranking algorithms for search. We'll go back to the primary signal of good content being links from trusted sources. People gaming the content based algorithms will eventually cause their own downfall.

when AI starts training itself accidentally on AI generated content, we all lose...

Ironically due to slop I feel like we are regressing as a civilization 2020, want to know how to use Redix for Redis connections in Elixir? Google it and the results were most likely high quality, written by senior engineers who knew what they were doing Today google that, and it will be endless amounts of slop

So whatever OneUptime is, I now know it has zero integrity and is something I should avoid.

Now we know why GitHub has a hard time with stability and reliability. Because of this AI slop BS inflicted on us by the Silicon Valley tech bros and all their followers.
