IBM Grapevine: Development Outsourced to LLM Slop and It Results in Many Bugs

IBM insiders report that the company's outsourcing of development work to large language models has produced numerous bugs, according to posts on TheLayoff.com cited in a Techrights report. The same report says IBM staff rank in the top 10 of Linux kernel contributors flagged as "sloppers," naming Paolo Abeni, and that further layoffs are expected next week, including "silent" cuts at Red Hat.

Cheapening things with LLMs and "we’ve had a bunch of bugs because of it" (IBM staff is in top 10 of Linux sloppers, e.g. Paolo Abeni):

The old joke goes, "I" in IBM is not international and the "I" in "AI" is not intelligence either. The punchline is considered racist even if in many cases it is an accurate description of IBM's workforce and demographic tidal wave.

Earlier today we showed that IBM gravitates towards fraud, next week many layoffs are expected ('silently' at Red Hat), and later in the same month IBM can disappoint the "market" again and drop another 32%. Who keeps track at this stage, seeing that the "market value" of IBM is closely connected to or depends lies told by IBM to shareholders or by mainstream media for IBM?

IBM is circling down the drain and every insider knows it.
