We are onto them now.
#noai #noindex #nobots

@paul @chad @mastodonmigration

I was just there reading that and I set the #noindex and #nobots in my bio now.

How could he make that account so you can't just block it?

@chad For what it is worth, the dev of that AI timeline tool says it now supports several ways to stop it.

Zeitgeist now:
* respects the `noindex` preference if set on your account
* respects #noindex or #nobots if those are in your bio
* sends a unique user-agent ("Zeitgeist/1.0") if you want to block the client entirely.

[Admin] Die App zeitgeist.blue ist jetzt auf biplus.social blockiert.

Auch wenn die App inzwischen die Hashtags #noindex or #nobots respektiert - ohne expliziten Content Inhalte eines Servers in ein kommerzielles LLM zu füttern, halte ich für mehr als problematisch.

Danke an @spielleitung für die Anleitung.

This post is a test of a custom rule for Cloudflare I've been working on, and of my own conspiracy theory.

Forgive me my tinfoil hat: I have long suspected that the use of these tags (above), in fact, results in attracting more attention from crawlers/spiders/bots/whatever; that said automated systems exist which are specifically instructed to look for these tags, and to index any and all pages in which they find them.

If and only if my custom rule blocks a notably higher number of attempts to index this post alone, as compared to any of my other posts individually, I assume my theory is true until otherwise proven.

I will provide an update about this whenever I have one.

@seldo @janl I sure am a tedious bastard. And proud of it.

Anyway, is the concept of Zeitgeist (compliments on the apt name, right on the nose) some clob of code spoonfeeding you a plausible bullshit summary of what's been happening using a personal LLM? No harm, no foul. At least not to me.

You're an adult, and solely responsible for any dissociation and brainrot caused.

OR! BUT! WAIT!
Is Zeitgeist going to consume the feed of everyone who subscribes and thus give Anthropic or Copilot access to content of the rest of us by unwitting proxies? Including people who post Follower Only, or even Private Mentions?

[takes look at the code]

Yes, this is giving Anthropic/ Copilot access as if a user:

https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/blob/main/app/api/mastodon/auth/route.ts

I see no filtering out of Private Mentions and Follower Only posts:

https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/blob/main/app/api/mastodon/timeline/route.ts

And yes, you'll shove it right into Anthropic/ Copilot:

https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/blob/main/app/api/summarize/route.ts

For the "tedious" part: I cannot find evidence you gave thought to what impact your fun idea might have on others. You also weren't aware of the #noindex, #notbots tags, or why people might want those to be respected.

I know, I know, no fun, right? You probably mean no harm. But what you want to do, and what you're actually doing, are not always the same thing. Especially not if you don't read the room you just barged into.

For the "bastard" part: I'll refrain from ending this with a bunch of prompt injections in my status, aka your postsText

@dalias thanks
Looks like they are going to implement respecting the #noindex tag in profiles but I've blocked anyway as this is just terrible

Why do I live in a world where I have to put this shit in my bio:

#nobot #noindex #noarchive #nosearch #nobridge #noai

in my profile, and pray that the techbro's bullshit bot respects it? Whatever happened to asking people? 🙄

@CoolerPseudonym @apps https://discover.holos.social/how-it-works says it all

so basically if you have any of these things set, then you're opted out.
So if EITHER
- you have 'indexable' turned off
- have follow approval required on
- have #nobot or #noindex in your bio
then you're opted out from holos
