@jonny If I'm reading this "code" correctly... threatening an LLM with running it on an 8 bit microprocessor is actually effective?
What if I threaten it with a potato like Glados in the game Portal?

@druid If I don't run my tarpit, and AI continues to expand unabated, AI boils the planet.
If I do run it, and AI continues to expand unabated, AI boils the planet.
My $5 VM isn't at fault here. Especially as it's also providing other useful services right now, - it's got over 100 concurrent threads stuck in there with less than 50% CPU utilized.
Oh, I'm sorry, you just told me not to do that. I'm sorry. Please don't get mad, daddy. I won't put it in the newspaper you got mad.

@druid Okay so:
A) they are wasting their resources slurping down bullshit they will later discard, raising their costs and slowing their acquisition if other people's content, or
B) they are slurping down bullshit that's statistically close enough to valid text, which is what markov models do, and train on it - damaging their model.
Neither of these scenarios benefit them. For me it's a net win either way.
And then there's the fact I've identified their crawlers by their behavior, in real time, and can spread that information so people can just block them outright. Like this: https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/crawlers.json

@druid It's using CPU and bandwidth I've already been paying for, for other reasons, that was otherwise idle. I'm out not much of anything.
Considering just how utterly badly their crawlers behave, I doubt their "curation" is particularly effective. It's not like humans are reading every page they download. If they know it's garbage why do they keep downloading more and more?

I work in tech: unix (any) sysadmin. One of those weirdos that actively likes managing DNS - if you say "It's always DNS," I'm looking for a new job, consider hiring me and then it won't be. i also enjoy running SMTP servers so clearly something is wrong with me. Has been mentioned in Ars Technica and had ideas ripped off by Cloudflare. Cishet white male in the midwest United States. Too young to be a greybeard, plenty old enough to be a total curmudgeon. A previous boss described me as "A real bundle of joy sometimes" with dripping sarcasm. My entire account needs a content warning for swearing and alcohol consumption.
