Just once, it would be nice to read something where the publisher has put in some effort to at least hide the slop.

Well, be careful what you wish for. At least I was able to stop reading that thing pretty quickly: it's not unreadable, it's untrustable! ...and yes, adding non-LLMish malapropisms has become my Captcha...

Jesus this is terribly written by AI, what is the point of putting out this slop?

I found the content quite interesting even if the writing style is a bit LLM. I just bought a GaN charger - I have a few, and am interested in the ongoing military strategic brilliance of the current admin.

Headline discusses missiles (which are topical); the article is mostly about radars in F-35s, and admits halfway through it's because a procurement schedule slipped. This is just clickbait; there's no content here.

And then it starts wandering into 6G and a bunch of other stuff. It's not even generic clickbait, it's just off-the-shelf yellow-peril clickbait.
