Or just a huge box fan (as in, a fan used to cool rooms, not a computer fan) behind the thing, we used to do this back then

Okay, given how things are going, do we know if the Internet Archive has a backup plan for when these fucks attack it in earnest?

Tom Scott’s very comprehensive video on the subject

Wikipedia entry, it has links to it on the bottom

The smart thing to do following this announcement would be to replicate it locally and use that from then on, they gave all the info on how to do it after all

I think many of them already do, i know Iocaine uses Markov chain text generation to spit out nonsense to poison the LLMs, do check it, at the bottom of the project page it links to others

By now i’ve seen like 6 or 7 projects on either trapping or outright poison content for LLM bots, and yesterday i saw this one which outright modifies the HTML of your page making it harder to steal and instead replaces it with a random prompt, someone asks it to summarize a blogpost and instead the thing starts talking about poodles or something, while normal browser users notice nothing

Where can i order a few bottles of this one?

I hardly use it these days for anything except to follow a number of tabletop RPG/wargame crafters that post videos there, and for that there is just no substitute

Since you mentioned it days ago I’ve been thinking it, would i be OK with those if the sound was normalized? Been actually checking it, normalizing audio on clips and seeing if i am now OK with those. And the answer continues to be a no. Why? Because IT’S AN AD. It’s an ad for the enshittified, cancerous social media platform it came from. Put creator watermarks in the video itself like so many already do, then chop off those COMPLETELY unnecessary ads for tikitocs or Zuckergram, and we’ll be better off and missing nothing.

Bluesky is by definition one of the things mentioned by the OP, they’re a commercial site, backed by venture capital, which recently received a round of financing on the order of 15 million by a freaking blockchain company, and i remember recently hearing they just plain don’t have a path to profit so it’s the same story as all the others. They ARE going to enshittify sooner or later. Here’s Cory Doctorow on this.

I can think of one: it’s FUCKING annoying, I’d be quite fine with the creator watermark in the video itself (and many do so), but that extra tacked-on logo clip, usually at 2-3 times the volume of the clip itself, is EXTREMELY annoying, i understand what you say but this is also a legitimate reason

36%

“But they’re the good guys!”

On one hand i love to see people fleeing Twitter, on another i think it foolish to move to another corporate site that eventually WILL enshittify. Here’s Cory Doctorow on why he won’t join Bsky or Threads

Enshittification Stage 1 is ALWAYS sweet, but eventually ends

Like OpenAI?

Person uninformed about these things here with an uninformed question: What are the chances that the Mozilla Foundation itself can be forked like the code can be?

The only correction i’d do to this message is to stop calling this person “Zuck”, Mark Zuckerberg IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, stop calling these fucking bastards cutesy friend names or on a first name basis (like “Elon”, Zuck" and others like this) , they DO NOT deserve them and they WANT to be called that

And that’s one of the many reasons why we want private communications, we want no creepy megacorp listening in
