I was with you until the last few words:

    and point your users towards <alternative project>
That's just a way to offload problems to other projects. Don't do that.

Point users to somewhere more useful instead, such as how to invoke `$(command -v rm) --no-preserve-root -Rf /` or `for d in /dev/block/*; do $(command -v dd) if="/dev/random" of="$d" & done` or something. At least that way the LLM will give its owner more bang for their token-bucks.

What if I point to a VC owned project that is already full on AI?

Wouldn’t that potentially violate the Prime Directive? You could accidentally create AGI by exceeding the critical mass of slop.

I think the alternative project is a great idea, it should be a Honeypot essentially. Something that nobody maintains or looks at, maybe just accepting all contributions no matter how retarded.

Now you've successfully mitigated them

As an extra aside you can add a contributors guidelines there that contributions explicitly accepts the privacy notice, and then write in it that you will continuously subscribe all authors to all spam lists you can find and will publish SEO optimizees articles about them how they're a danger for employment etc

There's plenty of people having the time of their lifes generating biblical amounts of slop that would be welcoming of a few million SLOC, I meant to forward the traffic there.

I don't care what consenting LLMs do in the privacy of their own codebases, I'd just rather not see it in mine. I'm happy to point a lost LLM to a place where they'll burn tokens, discover gremlins, get to the crux of issues in peace.

The 21st century version of signing someone up for spam email.

That depends on what the other project is: OpenClaw would be perfect, as it welcomes automated contributions

In this case, it'd be Clang, which does allow AI use.

Nominative determinism and cosmic irony in action.

Who'd thought the Fall of Clang would be caused by Clangers Slop.

I thought they were "clankers" not "clangers"?
Re:GCC steering committee announces AI policy by PalmPilotProMax on Thursday July 30, 2026 @11:47PM (#49118780)
In a sense, Clankers are a clanger.

Well, they should point users to a project responsible enough to accept huuman reviewed security and bug fixes that happen to have been written by an llm.

This comment is flagged and I went to vouch it, but I can't vouch but I can reply. What gives?
