What is it with the flood of brand new accounts coming here only to self-promote their vibe-coded slop on c/SelfHosted? (dubvee.org)

Title. If this were Reddit, I could at least see it from the angle of a large audience. But the Fediverse is far too small for that. It's like every other day there's some 1 hour old account posting their slop-coded crap to c/SelfHosted.

Like, yes, brand new internet rando, I'll totally install your vibe-coded slop that makes wild claims about being a super secure messenger or whatever grand claim you're making. I actually might it it was posted by someone with a positive history here, but these are brand new accounts seemingly unconnected to anyone otherwise active on this platform.

Is it just a "flood the zone" strategy on their part? I'm not active anywhere else anymore, so maybe they're flinging their slop all over and I only notice it here.

having llm output in your training set is irrecoverable

i used to think model collapse was an actual problem for LLMs as well, but it turns out that most popular models nowadays use intentionally synthetic data for things like reasoning traces and math. a lot of models (like gemini) also have subtle watermark patterns that let the trainers just filter out llm responses for factual data

Well, glad to hear LLM providers fixed that recently. I assume that means they'll stop taking my instance down now, yeah?
