@snaggen@mastodonsweden.se @jo@infosec.exchange @tante@tldr.nettime.org Nope. It is all slop. Slop is a recycled mix of things of unknown provenance that have some superficial resemblance of what was actually wanted or needed.

@snaggen@mastodonsweden.se @jo@infosec.exchange @tante@tldr.nettime.org "No matter how good code it produces---" No, stop right there. It does not *produce* code. It *re*produces it. And mixes it to obfuscate the source and launder copyright, the same way a crypto mixer launders money. So what you are actually saying is: "No matter how good the code I get to copyright-launder and reuse without attribution or following the licensing terms..." And that is pretty damning.
