There is a ”Technical Program Manager at Google” posting LLM-generated slop articles about concurrency to lobste.rs and HN getting onto the front page, and it annoys me on several levels. The articles are plausible-sounding (to a casual reader) but wrong, which is bad enough. But I can see how to an unscrupulous person this kind of thing makes perfect sense. They use the slop to boost themselves and their careers, and the risk is minimal since someone has to actually understand things like Erlang message passing and concurrency to notice the factual issues, and be familiar enough with the flavour of LLM-generated bullshit to notice the confident-but-wrong patterns.
