TeaCloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives.
RelativeArea1this is some fucking stupid situation, we somewhat got a faster internet and these bots messing each other are hugging the bandwidth.
nothing can be improved while capitalism exists; all improvement will be seized and used to oppress.
That’s not really relevant here. This is more of a “genie is out of the bottle and now we have to learn how to deal with it situation”. The idea and technology of bots and AI training already exists. There’s no socioeconomic system that is going to magically make that go away.
I think the point you’re missing is that without the monetary incentive that arises under capitalism, there would be very little drive for anyone to build these wasteful AI systems. It’s difficult to imagine a group of people voluntarily amassing and then using the resources necessary for “AI” absent the desire to cash in on their investment. So you’re correct that an alternative economic system won’t “magically” make LLMs go away. I think it unlikely, however, that such wasteful nonsense would be used on any meaningful scale absent the perverse incentives of capitalism.

I mean Dmitry Pospelov was arguing for AI control in the Soviet Union clear back in the 70s.
ValJust another way the state capitalist soviet union was closer to capitalism than socialism.
