william light @wrl.sh · 25/09/2026yeah this is what i mean. if you're picking a type of software to write and a group of people to try and earn a buck from... musicians haven't been that in a long time. maybe ever. and yet, vibeslop plugins abound. it's so strange. 140

william light @wrl.sh · 25/09/2026it's also wild because there's really not much money (comparatively) in music tech so seeing people just be like "hey do you know what the market needs? another low-effort tape saturation" like shipping more slop is going to benefit anything i don't get it 180

william light @wrl.sh · 25/09/2026there's definitely some people still fighting the good fight but with even established developers giving up and shipping vibeslop (and acting like we're all lucky for them to be doing so) it's pretty grim out there 171
Reposted by william lightfox noises (spooky) @jjbbllkk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It's 2026. Over half the new plugins coming out are slop coded shit. The grifters are charging for it and the rest have absolutely zero idea how music software development actually works. They should be paying you to install this shit at this point. 14894

When OpenAI hears of this they “discover” the exact same approach and won’t disclose whether their model plagiarized the researchers’ private sessions 35412
Reposted by william lightBruno Dias @brunodias.dev · 08/09/2026so what openai has done is spend "$2000" (let's pretend their numbers aren't also fake) to rob a bunch of math grad students, postgrads, and professors from the enjoyment of solving a fun puzzle and opportunities for learning. the social value of doing this is entirely negative. 3578
