Microslop is a tiny scrappy start-up company, give them some slack and patience, they can't just throw virtually unlimited money at the problem to solve it...

I wouldn't want to have the job of managing GitHub infrastructure right now. The sheer volume of AI slop being uploaded must be unimaginable

I once got into an argument with someone about how AI PRs are terrible and overwhelm FOSS projects which are already notoriously understaffed and burned out. Eventually I just started having Claude generate the most verbose responses it could, prefaced with "to make my point, from now on to continue this argument you'll need to read a mountain of AI slop I probably didn't read myself, and all I have to do is copy and paste into Claude and hit generate"
