I wouldn't want to have the job of managing GitHub infrastructure right now. The sheer volume of AI slop being uploaded must be unimaginable
I once got into an argument with someone about how AI PRs are terrible and overwhelm FOSS projects which are already notoriously understaffed and burned out. Eventually I just started having Claude generate the most verbose responses it could, prefaced with "to make my point, from now on to continue this argument you'll need to read a mountain of AI slop I probably didn't read myself, and all I have to do is copy and paste into Claude and hit generate"
Wait... were you arguing for or against AI slop?
They weren't getting the point so I forced them to understand
He used the slop to destroy the slop.
Just use AI to filter, ez
Hi, supersquirrel here, are you tired of people scamming you out of money with emails tantalizingly asking you to help start a realllllly profitable business in a foreign country?
Well, I have a solution for you! Pay me lots of money and I will tell you EXACTLY what you want to hear about those scammers/business opportunities!
Support all squirrels. Or else 🔫🐿️

Whoever has that job also very likely has blood on their hands from being involved in facilitating (or remaining silent about) the Palestinian Genocide with Microslop products like Azure and other computing services, so FUCK them, pile the misery on to them until they crumble into dust as a person for all I care.
You can't just seven degrees of Kevin Bacon everyone into being involved in the genocide of Palestine.
You can't just pretend having some arbitrary connection to Kevin Bacon is the same as being all the way at the top of the power structure of one of the most powerful entities on earth that is actively seeking profit from an ongoing Genocide.
I mean it's a job homie, I mean there are some jobs you can't be forgiven for doing like death camp guard, or gas chamber operator, or whatever Kathleen Kennedy's job title is. But I don't think network engineer is on that list
and I mean it is a job that gets blood on your hands, homie.
If they don't want that baggage, they can deploy their golden parachute and go head another company/organization.
Stop carrying water for these people.
