@gytisrepecka @da5nsy OFC!

  • I'm the last one questioning that.

I hope that @dotmeow can offer #domains on at-cost basis for #members / users, because once a #gTLD is setup and running the cost of infrastruture to keep it up - even if it were €10k+ per month - is miniscule when divided by the amount of users and registrations.

  • I do however hope that .meow will take lessions and have fundamental policy changes: Banning #DomainParking and #DomainSquatting as well as #auctions of highly-sought-after #domains, because it is a net negative for #users, the #TLD and the rest of the internet if big companies can occupy large swaths of the internet just to commit "#AssetDenial" under dubious pretenses (#Trademark) to bad (anti-competitive) behaviour.

Having domains that are not actually being used or being merely registered for resale being repossessed and registrars of said domains banned would be something I'd love.

🤨 They’re wanting $14,000 for this

@T_X @heiseonline soweit ich weiß besitzen nur die #RIR[s] qua #IANA die zugewiesenen Blöcke und diese werden nur gem. Zuteilungsbedingungen vergeben.

AI-powered scammers cloned a college radio station's identity buying its expired domain. They filled WECB.fm with fake news and AI authors for ad money, hurting real student journalists. Google had to step in. Stay vigilant online. #AIScams #DomainSquatting #DigitalIdentity

Luckily, just by #coincidence, I went there today right when I was needed most. I didn't charge them anything for solving an emergency. It was literally just having the knowledge to immediately know what the problem is and how to fix it.

Things could have been much worse if someone bought their domain underneath them... So good thing we solved it in time. I love being able to help.

#UK #Anguilla #TLDs #AI #GenerativeAI #DomainSquatting #CyberSquatting: "The tropical British territory of Anguilla wasn’t known to many outside those who sought out its sun-kissed beaches. That was until the generative AI revolution. Suddenly, the island of around 16,000 people became a key broker in the future of our digital lives.

In the 1990s, it was given the domain name ending .AI. Back then, gTLDs (or generic top-level domain names) didn’t go much beyond .com, .org, or .net. The only real envisaged market for .AI domain name endings was local businesses on the island. Until ChatGPT changed everything, and the market for .AI domain names exploded.

Today, more than half a million .AI domain names are registered with Anguillan authorities, who have until now used a local firm called DataHaven.net. The domain names registered include x.ai and claude.ai but notably not open.ai, which is currently held up in a long-running dispute between an individual who claims to have invented the name and concept of OpenAI before Sam Altman unveiled it in 2015—and has a surprising amount of documentary evidence to support his case."

.AI domain names are the next big thing on the internet. That's great news for Anguilla

The British territory of Anguilla has made millions from a happy accident: having the .AI domain name. Now comes the challenge of scaling up.

@tamitha IMHO, #DomainSquatting & #DomainParking as well as #DomainSelling should be illegal!
@itzzen @starshine sounds like #domainsquatting to me...

Trying to decide what domain I should use for this cooking website I’m gonna abandon in 3 months. *evil laugh about squatting on 20+ domains*
