Das #Hammaborg Zelt auf dem #Elbenwaldfestival steht. Und dieses tolle Banner verdient Verbreitung
I learned a new word today (via HackerNews) that still makes me chuckle b/c it's so convoluted and meta that it's definitely an apt candidate for a 2025 time capsule: "Slopsquatting."
Per Wikipedia:
Slopsquatting is a type of cybersquatting. It is the practice of registering a non-existent software package name that a large language model (LLM) may hallucinate in its output, whereby someone unknowingly may copy-paste and install the software package without realizing it is fake.[1] Attempting to install a non-existent package should result in an error, but some have exploited this for their gain in the form of typosquatting.[2]
The name is a portmanteau of "AI slop" and "typosquatting".[3]
