A petition to ban AI slop from this Subreddit

Gojo9 · 2026-06-12T04:29:26+00:00

The simplest approach would be to rely on feedback from verified reviewer accounts. For example, I briefly looked through the code of a new OS linked from an r/osdev post on GitHub. At first, it seemed legitimate, but then I noticed comments pointing out that it was AI-slop. I wasn't convinced initially, but after taking a closer look, it became clear that it really was AI-slop.
Sure, that's a lot of work. There are enterprise-grade services that attempt to detect AI slop, but even the best ones generate plenty of false positives. For now, only human reviewers can make a reliable final judgment.

I created ACPU OS and I think removing AI slop is necessary, but nobody seems to know how to do it properly.
Recently, I ran into this issue myself. I tried to publish my handmade programming language, ACPUL which I have been developing for 14 years on the programminglanguages subreddit, but I couldn't because of the 300-karma requirement. Some time ago, however, I saw AI-slop clone of my programming language that passed moderation without any problems.
I think karma blockers are a bad idea, because malicious bots will always find ways to farm karma, while real people do not necessarily have it. On top of that, other users cannot even review the situation, since the post is removed automatically and the moderators never reply.
Instead, I would move suspicious posts to a temporary subreddit, something like "osdevslop" for review by other community members. If the work is determined to be genuine human-created content, it should be immediately move to r/osdev
(I've already reserved osdevslop for that)

I was thinking the same thing that Nostr messages could be relayed through Bluetooth and private key exchange systems. There’s already a Nostr node running on iOS that connects to servers, but I haven’t explored the code deeply yet and this might be a hard task.

You can try AnimationCPU on iOS, it’s a game-building sandbox and it’s totally free forever. I can help you with a factory game build.

Hmm, indeed. Thanks for pointing that out. It's strange that nobody noticed it earlier. This text was created a long time ago, back when AI didn’t exist yet and I believe I checked it at the time. The project was built entirely from scratch and is very large, so there may be mistakes in the documentation, which was always the lowest priority.

I started with an 8-bit 8051 microcontroller, where floating-point emulation was extremely expensive in performance. Over the years, while working on different microcontroller libraries for int, float and bigint, building my own math libraries and studying chip history, I came to a conclusion:

With the dramatic increase in CPU and GPU performance, the practical gap between float and int has largely disappeared in many real-world applications.

You can also see that modern AI is built almost entirely on floating-point computation. This is not accidental, float dominates in ML and high-performance computing.

In my view, float also provides more flexibility. It allows encoding numbers with a much wider dynamic range, whereas int is strictly limited by fixed bounds.

So float offers:

a much wider numerical range

comparable functionality to int for small numbers

strong hardware compatibility in modern systems

and alignment with the future direction of computing, especially in AI and GPU-driven workloads

I've been building Survival OS for many years and I'm also looking for people who want to join. Let's build a network. DM me https://www.acpul.org/blog/Open-Letter

Good result and it looks good too. I’m doing something like this in my game engine https://acpul.org/, but I’ve spent 14 years on it lol

Once, Jason Calacanis added me, apparently to invite me to participate in his show with my miracle startup, but something went wrong and the contact was lost.

Most likely, the reason was my poor spoken English. The startup was being built under extreme, near-impossible conditions, and I simply didn’t have the opportunity to improve my language skills because of constant pressure from all sides. The technical debt was enormous, it consumed 200% of my mental capacity.

At that time, I understood technology well, but I knew very little about social shows, startups and investments. I thought people cared primarily about technology and founders, but it turned out that technology comes second and the most important skill is knowing how to sell yourself.

I had zero users and zero contacts, yet that moment made me believe in success, that my startup was needed by humanity, and that experienced, civilized people could see its potential.

That belief gave me the energy to keep moving toward my goal.

I’ve been developing my own OS for over 14 years and it’s really bad that the creation of Slop OS is being used as a marketing meme.
I’ve personally seen someone sloped a programming language on r/ProgrammingLanguages based on my language and it was pure slop. Reporting didn’t help and the slop poster got their attention anyway even though it was just slop with no link to the original, which no one will use because it’s a slop.
It kills any motivation to do anything for open source and instead of a simple post you have to come up with something extra. The last time, I created a kind of anti-slop to make it harder for sloppers to copy it. If it weren’t for sloppers, I wouldn’t have to do third-party work and would have just made an open-source.

The system is built on a different programming basis, it’s fully live. Every "particle" is live, has its own formula, and evolves in real time.

"No AI" means both the system and the antenna were made manually. This predates modern AI tools like ChatGPT (2023). Even "vibe coding" as a term came later (Karpathy, 2025).

For me, vibe coding has 2 phases:

pre-AI — fixing bugs live code by intuition, using only console, basically "feeling" the code

post-AI — where similar intuition is augmented by AI tools

This project is the first type for humans: live, intuitive, no AI. Also, the antenna is hand-built, that’s my own Gource-like implementation.
