I haaaaaaate LLM slop. Barely readable due to low contrast and the first sentence already sets off my slop alarm:

> Two cached bucket pointers, one freed tree.

I've rarely been happier than now to have left IT for good...

I don't know if people understand that this actually lowers their reputation, instead of increasing it. Putting so important text as AI slop. Maybe it is not so important, if not worth of modifying themselves.

  • I think the skull already did a good job of that

    • When it comes to cybersec for many professionals that old phrack-like design actually increases their credibility

      You immediately know you're likely to get clear, technical, actionable info instead of some corporate bullshit

      Not so with LLM usage

The writing is what you have a problem with, but the script kiddie h4xxor theme isn't?

  • Yes. Bad themes have been a staple of the Internet ever since it got mainstream, remember <marquee> and <blink>. I'm used to that (although as I said the low contrast is making things extra annoying).

    But I'm reading a website for getting information, not LLM fluff.
