    Can we get an AI megathread?

    # Can we get an AI megathread? ## What started the discussion In the last couple of hours alone I’ve seen 3 threads advertising vibecoded slop. Even worse, some are trying to sell Slop-As-A-Service. I was naive enough to think r/kubernetes would be more resilient than r/selfhosted because of the enterprise focus. I was wrong. People are pushing LLM generated, uncontrolled garbage everywhere and it’s dangerous. Subs like r/selfhosted are already buried by this and the way they handle it is subpar. I don't want to see r/kubernetes suffer the same fate. I’m proposing a megathread where people can share their vibecoded projects with people actually looking for it, instead of clogging the frontpage for everyone else. ## What stood out in the comments ### Discussion point 1 In accordance with the general point of wanting to see less Ai slop. I think mega thread is a waste of time and perhaps better to just ban promoting Ai vibe coded project. 99.9% of them are waste of GitHub storage The select few that are worth the time can be exceptions to the rule ### Discussion point 2 And who selects those few? A megathread doesn’t waste anyone’s time because it’s set and forget. ### Discussion point 3 I moreso meant that megathreads aren’t a useful avenue for discussion. Content that is moved there is destined to die. So “waste of time” in the sense that the few mins it would take to setup is better spent doing literally anything else. On the off chance that a well developed albeit vibe coded project came along I’d like the chance to see it. I’m also happy to blow up the vast majority of ai slop posts that are clogging this website I frequent :/ ### Discussion point 4 Please flag threads for tools outside of the weekly new tool thread. Also slop posts can be flagged as slop. See recent rule change for "new tool" spam: https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/s/iVwDzRjqas Keep in mind, actually removing them takes time and mods sleep etc. I've just removed some of the flagged posts. ### Discussion point 5 Hear me out, let's vibecode a bot that can block every slop post automatically. /s I was actually just considering leaving the sub, about 80% of what I see is a mix of 'here's my vibe vomit', 'here's my blog that was written by an llm' or some random question clearly made by a bot just to train on the answers. Kinda exhausting. ## Thread snapshot - Original subreddit: r/kubernetes - Original author: u/Ragemoody - Reddit score: 110 - Comment count: 40 - Original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/comments/1ro2stp/can_we_get_an_ai_megathread/
