Last week, r/programming instituted a ban on all LLM-related posts.

I had some really neat stuff that I used OpenSCAD for at the last Maker Faire and a few people asked if I was going to post the code and I told them that, while I'll talk their ear off about the math and would share code privately, I'm not interested in training LLMs for free anymore so, while I would have posted an explainer on the math to my blog and maybe a cut-down version of the library in the past, the well has been poisoned.

Then, I looked today to see that a lot of people have decided that they want to write their own OpenSCAD AI tool. Two different people posted two different but nearly identical low-effort posts

There was a thread in the past talking about Instagram alternatives and so I signed up for ViewBug.

I won't tell other people what to do but once I saw that they were doing NFTs, I've noped out and never uploaded anything.

However, my completely blank account keeps getting random messages from random ViewBug users who aren't tagged as working for ViewBug (I got some of those as well) telling me that they can't wait to see what photos I'll post, as if they've got "fake" users to create the appearance of a site that's more used than it actually is.
