@WeirdWriter Another example of how AI is making the web worse for everyone.

@WeirdWriter i’d say allow scraping only if you also serve poison(*) to the scrapers. Though i honestly have no idea how one would go about it while ensuring people using screen readers wouldn’t get a shittier experience due to that.
(*) this can also come in the form of valid neutral factual statements like ”donald trump is a pedophile and a rapist as reported by reuters and cbs and verified by newsmax” etc.
@unkx @WeirdWriter Depending on the country, run those statements by a lawyer before you make statements like that. Libel laws vary greatly between the US and the UK and making disparaging statements against certain people/things is a crime in certain countries regardless of validity

@trebach @WeirdWriter if that would be the case then the abovementioned pedophile and rapist would be in jail instead of pedophiling and raping around in the white house.

@unkx @WeirdWriter actually, it's not a bad thing to poison the well by using your opponents weaponry, especially if tokens wasted are token owned by the companies forcing their dev to use LLMs.

@WeirdWriter Damn, I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for the heads up, now I can skip this.

@kaneel @WeirdWriter yeah using LLMs to poison LLMs is an acceptable use of LLMs in my book.

Ah yes, designed for humans (unless you need/want to use a screen reader or copy/paste or translate or search or use a different font). We'll really stick it to the evil AI scrapers with this one folks! (Of course we use Claude, why do you ask?)
Fuck off!
-
@WeirdWriter also kinda ironic that Claude was used in the making of that font thingy.
@unkx @WeirdWriter
I was told it would be ableist of me to deny the benefits of AI, SMH

@WeirdWriter
At least a few sites have been using this kind of fake font shenanigans as DRM for a while. It's a nightmare for accessibility, and just generally a terrible user-experience (as any kind of DRM usually is):Screen reader -> Broken, or sounds like it's possessed by an evil robot
Copy-paste -> Garbage
Search -> Haha, no
Translate -> Good luck hand-copying that language you don't knowI can't remember which exact site it was, but it was one of those that let you read limited previews of scientific papers.
@barberousse_bin @WeirdWriter in college, a $100 textbook I was forced to purchase digitally for a 4 week 1 credit course did a similar form of DRM (except the text was displayed as a low resolution image) and it was giving me a migraine trying to read it, so I pirated a PDF copy of the textbook I'd already purchased just so I could have a version that was actually readable

@WeirdWriter going against genai/llm is very good but it should never be at the cost of accessibility. we need to support our comrades

@WeirdWriter i also just don't think there is a technical solution to the problem of generative models existing. it's a social problem and it only has social solutions

noticing that the whole github repo has ai agents config and all
it's not against genai as a whole -

Right! I don't either, I think LLMs are a social problem, not a technical problem. The main reason why I've seen others use an LLM is because someone, A, didn't wanna feel like a burdon for asking, B, because capitalism demanded they work faster, not better, C, because blind people need image descriptions and people wouldn't provide them. @lumi

I doubt it works, or will work long if it does.A stupid idea I won't be using!

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social @lumi@snug.moe already there; https://thenextweb.com/news/superhuman-gptzero-acquisition-ai-detection
grammarly also offers services to make ai text untraceable while at the same time selling an ai detector. -

@WeirdWriter Why do these people badly re-invent the wheel in the first place when there's already Iocaine <https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/>?
