our stance on slop is that of sewage in wine
it only takes a teaspoon of sewage to turn an entire cask of wine into sewage
this comes with a corollary: you can pour all the wine into the sewer that you want, and it won't turn the sewage into wine

The whole "Trump can't rig the elections" thing strikes me somewhat the same way as "climate change isn't going to drive human beings extinct" thing.

ZDnet headline: "I tried a Claude Code alternative that's local, open source, and completely free"
I, too, am using an alternative that is local, open, and free. I write my own damn code, instead of asking for slop from a so-called "AI" trained on stolen code.
