The first I heard of a project doing this was iocaine, an anti-scraper tool (that I think awful.systems uses??) which has module names like “sex_dungeon” and “GargleBargle” intended to make the codebase unmanageable to navigate for llm tooling. It’s pretty funny that this has become an established technique.

ig chucking in a segment of merck index (short entries with compound properties, 2000 pages of) to iocaine training corpus would trip it

awful does indeed use iocaine! and yeah the codebase is fun :) it’s stunningly effective at handling scrapers, and it’s even more fucked how intense a plague the scrapers (combined with running shitty job scheduling with even worse code through resproxies) are
