It's just lazy AI* writing w/0 editing.

"Just" is doing a lot of work there, I'm so annoyed reading it.

It's like an anti-ad and they had pretty cool material to work with.

* Claude loves stacatto "Some numeric figure. Something else. Intensifier" (ex. the "exploitable for a decade." or whatever sentences)

Completely without editing, to the point of hallucinating a RHEL version (14.3) that doesn't exist.
