@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 -

@WeirdWriter Anything but actually confront the problem.

@lumi@snug.moe @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social ironic. it's vibe coded.
i knew the site was screaming ai design language but was hoping it was my spidey sense sending a false positive -

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

@WeirdWriter
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/>?

@WeirdWriter like a few days ago I thought to myself “won’t this be inaccessible?”
I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed, to be right.

Probably so they can do this https://thenextweb.com/news/superhuman-gptzero-acquisition-ai-detection @raulmatias

@WeirdWriter The worst thing about this is that even though we, the techies, know better, there are orders of magnitude more less-technically knowledgeable people who are going to use this and completely fuck up accessibility, copy & paste, RSS feeds, etc. on their websites.

I'm not blind but I have my browser set to ignore website fonts because there are many I have trouble reading, so I see scrambled text too. -

This is why I always maintain the best way is to go the other way, allow all scraping ingestion etc etc etc even though your server may take a huge hit from the traffic, but this blogger does it and he doesn't have a high bill https://starbreaker.org/colophon.html @raulmatias

Does fuck all to stop bots but people will use it anyway. I maintain the best thing is to do what this blogger did, no blockers at all https://starbreaker.org/colophon.html @2something

@WeirdWriter Not all people want or can afford beefy servers. There are also some webmasters who block crawlers/scrapers out of principle.

@WeirdWriter this will also affect archivers like archive.org
This font seems like the wrong response to the problem
