"LLM-generated passwords"
"LLM-generated passwords fundamentally weak, experts say" and it's really a headline
I can't even.
I. can't. even.
I can't even begin to apprehend the #brainrot that has been pushed on humanity by "AI" terrorists.
Every time I think I get it, something like this comes across.
Beam me up.

More than 20% of the videos that YouTube’s algorithm shows to new users are “AI slop”
– low-quality AI-generated content designed to farm views, research has found.
The video-editing company Kapwing surveyed 15,000 of the world’s most popular YouTube channels
– the top 100 in every country
– and found that 278 of them contain only AI slop.
Together, these AI slop channels have amassed more than 63 billion views and 221 million subscribers,
-- generating about $117m (£90m) in revenue each year, according to estimates.
The researchers also made a new YouTube account and found that 104 of the first 500 videos recommended to its feed were AI slop.
One-third of the 500 videos were “ #brainrot”, a category that includes AI slop and other low-quality content made to monetise attention.

A couple of large studies that found that heavy consumption of short-form video was associated with poorer cognition, especially in regard to attention spans and impulse control, as well as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and loneliness, and decreased academic performance.
(No actual strong causal evidence yet, but still, it seems sensible to limit random video consumption for yourself and others)
New Cornell study: “Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioural levels.” — what’s the betting that your ability to code is eroded by AI use as well?
I mainly use LLMs as a kind of interactive documentation, and never for producing code. That’s mainly because even tools such as Claude Code have coding habits I despise. But keeping my coding brain sharp seems like another good reason to be cautious.

In the 2025 Jubilee of the World of Communications, brain rot was also used by Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, as he urged people to reduce their use of social media and avoid "putrefazione cerebrale".
OK I'm going to start using "putrefazione cerebrale" instead of #brainrot now.
