To be more precise, LLMs’ present valuation in the market is not based on their being a skill so much as the end of skill.

The problem with “LLM requires skill to use correctly.” is that LLM’s are not being sold as a skill but rather the end of skill.
The other practical side of this is enforceability.
There is likewise no way to tell, just by examining code, that it was not plagiarized.
Non-point elements removed to help you focus.
On that note, OpenBSD appears to be a likely refuge now that Linux has been abandoned to slop.
AI has fundamentally changed how you do CS in industry, it’s completely unavoidable at this point and not using it in some capacity is doing yourself a massive disservice
If it was in truth inevitable then there would be no need to constantly shriek “It is inevitable!”
There is also evidence that deferring critical thinking to an LLM causes cognitive atrophy.
Much of open-source development relies on the honor system. There is likewise no way to tell, just by examining code, that it was not plagiarized.
Honor that needs to be enforced is not honor. It is something less.

For its next trick, Valve should make Steam as performant as it was before they made it Electronslop.

Ending the public API also prevents reddit users from deleting their post history without manually removing each post.
If you want to scrub your post history and prevent reddit from profiting from your input, use Power Delete Suite while you still can.

It is unlikely that reddit allows users to delete their content from the backend but this at least keeps your posts out of search results, which is a large part of their value.
Rainbow Mars is the title of both a short story and the collection of short stories that contains it.
Perhaps NASA is doing it to make a trophy that might impress the imbecile emperor in hopes of securing funding for space science.
Like in Rainbow Mars when the Time Travel Bureau has to go on safari to capture extinct pets for their imbecile emperor.
Light web searching suggests that neither the automobile industry as a whole nor the health insurance industry as a whole exceed $3 trillion in annual global revenue. Which means the plagiarism-to-slop pipeline just needs to make a little bit more than the automobile and health insurance industries combined to justify itself.
Apple silicon still only supports Apple’s proprietary operating systems but you can run Linux in a virtual machine or use Asahi which is still not recommended for daily use.

Rap artists have to clear every last sample or they don’t own the copyright to their work- but when tech oligarchs pirate every ebook ever made and use it to build plagiarism engines, it is not just legal, they will get a bailout if their slop doesn’t turn a profit.
I perceive them as having equal value. In each case the technology is forced on users in a top-down way and results in worse outcomes.
I don’t expect you’ll agree; that’s not the same as what I wrote being “Not really true.”
