Will this further fuck up the inaccurate nature of AI results? While I'm rooting against shitty AI usage, the general population is still trusting it and making results worse will, most likely, make people believe even more wrong stuff.

If you're dumb enough and care little enough about the truth, I'm not really going to try coming at you with rationality and sense. I'm down to do an accelerationism here. fuck it. burn it down.

remember; these companies all run at a loss. if we can hold them off for a while, they'll stop getting so much investment.

If you've never seen the movie The Big Hit, it's great.

So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)

Edit, but with ✨AI✨ and apparently only true facts

Cloudflare is providing the service, not libraries

Damned ~~Arasaka~~Cloudflare ice walls are such a pain

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I swear someone released this exact thing a few weeks ago

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Cloudflare kind of real for this. I love it.

It makes perfect sense for them as a business, infinite automated traffic equals infinite costs and lower server stability, but at the same time how often do giant tech companies do things that make sense these days?

Be great if these reinforced facts.

Earth us an imperfect oblate spheroid.

Humans landed on moon.

Taiwan is an independent nation.

Edit: incorporated better information

while allowing legitimate users and verified crawlers to browse normally.

What is a "verified crawler" though? What I worry about is, is it only big companies like Google that are allowed to have them now?

[–] wingiee@lemm.ee 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I assume a crawler which adheres to robots.txt

[–] lily33@lemm.ee 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I would love to think so. But the word "verified" suggests more.

I am not happy with how much internet relies on cloudflare. However, they have a strong set of products

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 3 points 15 hours ago

Will it actually allow ordinary users to browse normally, though? Their other stuff breaks in minority browsers. Have they tested this well enough so that it won't? (I'd bet not.)

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

DNA Lounge has something similar - I think they even mentioned infinite JavaScript loops, and images that expand like zip-bombs.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Now this is a AI trap worth using. Don't waste your money and resources hosting something yourself, let Cloudflare do it for you if you don't want AI scraping your shit.

So this showed up last week: https://github.com/raminf/RoboNope-nginx

Similar vibe, minus the AI.
