"We have to remain non-violent"

Meanwhile, the far right nutjobs

I'm really glad this two wolves joke from the federated timeline 7 years ago is still raging on for some reason

Despite the fact that this article explains the same thing like 5 times in a row as if I'm an idiot ... uh, damn, Meta. Let me make sure I don't have your apps on my phone.

It's supposed to be eye-catching in order to make people pick it up and read it, that's book marketing 101. But also? Fuck Sam Altman

 

This was a joke, but a handful of people expressed genuine interest in reading a book that bashes oligarchs and AI, just for the sake of it.

I'm heavily anti-AI. So much so, I'm pretty sure this is why my Instagram and Threads account got zapped out of existence. Meta couldn't handle the heat every single time they posted some slop-positive buzz on their official accounts, I don't know ...

But, I run my entire website behind Anubis, and I dropped Windows completely over their introduction of spyware into their malware OS. I'm not unfamiliar with AI, I've used it. I've given it a whirl. It's a bunch of garbage built on the backs of anyone whose ever done even an ounce of creative or skilled, written work. Be it code, a personal blog, or even fiction.

And it's getting worse. Every day I see more and more people embracing generative slop, either for fun, or for a social media avatar, or "because anti-AI people are annoying." It's like a virus, a pandemic. A pandemic that's evaporating fresh water, and melting the icecaps.

The fascist elites wanted a way to extract our labor, and pilfer our pockets, and with these so-called "tools" every facet of what we call "the Arts" are being destroyed, along with the world we live in.

Search Google images, scroll through Reddit, and just look at what your parents are consuming on Facebook. This is an emergency, and patient zero has a name: Sam Altman.

The concept of an emulator isn't even that old. Like, literally all throughout the 2000s and 2010s. How did this generation grow up so oblivious to everything? "What's an emulator?" "How do you use a computer?"

Bro, are we talking about 80 year olds or 20 year olds

There's something that needs to be done, and that something is drastic, and a lot of people don't want to hear, or see it. But we can't keep going forward as a country where more than half of people are violent sociopaths, or enablers of the latter.

I highly recommend using Anubis as a proxy for your entire instance. It's a little complicated to get going, but it stops any and all AI scrapers with a denial of access. Having a robots.txt works, but only so much, because some of these bots do not respect it. And, honestly, with the way Sam Altman talks about the people he's stolen and scraped from, I don't think anyone should be surprised.

But, I have Anubis running on my personal website and I've tested to see if ChatGPT can see it, and it cannot. Good enough for me

I did, dipshit

 

I was scouring the indie-web earlier, and found a pretty useful list of bots to add to your robots.txt. But, since I'm not convinced that this is enough to keep them away, I also figured out a simple way to at least potentially completely block them from accessing your websites.
