Anti-AI Slop Design: The epstein.md Config File
_jaydeepkarale · x · 2026-07-19
A developer shared a massive configuration file named epstein.md designed to eliminate "AI Slop" from code and UI.
The file enforces rules that block common AI-generated aesthetics, such as removing shadows, disabling emojis, stripping out real-time status badges, and rejecting blue-purple gradients. Additionally, it strictly filters out 350 of the most frequently abused LLM buzzwords (like delve, seamless, vibe, etc.).
