Dan Fixes Coin-OpsBeen fighting off slopbots trying to bring my site down since last Wednesday and man if you thought I was pissed off at AI before, hoo boy, wow
Two o'clock in the god damn eh emm in the terminal watching logfiles scroll up the screen in my terminal, study looked like a bad hackers film, people are not supposed to do this, I should've been asleep, all throughout the next day the sun was shining outside and I should've been doing human shit like making some kinda little structure out of mud for birds while wearing a couple of leaves and instead I'm indoors trying to stop anthropic and facebook and google from bringing down my website, we were put here to be the gardeners of the world but instead I'm trying to outwit nonsense machines made by nonsense people who also should be rolling naked in the fresh spring grass
You know what, you know what the best part of all this is, I read this
https://xaselgio.net/posts/26.poisoning-knowledge/
and I went wow, that sounds like a pain in the ass, good luck with that.
...
I HAVE A WEBSITE
I literally read that whole thing and did I take any preemptive measures, did I have a trap set up for the bots, did I even have a .htaccess that would at least block some of them, did I bollocks
You know when you see nature documentaries and the lion takes down one of the antelopes and all its mates just stand around watching it get eaten like four feet away, going wow, that looks like a pain in the ass, good luck with that
THAT'S ME, THAT IS.
Oh and you know how like eighty percent of y'all have your own websites, hey guys the lion's eating me maybe you might wanna do something about it because it'll probably have you for dessert
Antelopes watching their mate get et and going "Wow, look at that," that's you that is
See everyone going "Wow my websites keep going offline because of AI bots"
Me: oh no that's awful I'm so sorry that's happening to 🌠⭐🎶yooooouuuuuu and not meeeee,🎵💖💋
My own website goes offline because of AI bots: me doing surprised Pikachu face
Ignore the guy half inside the lion pointing at you and dooming "It'll happen to YOUUUU," it won't happen to you, you're special 😌
Me, just a head sticking out of the lion's mouth: 🦝 It happened to me WAY sooner than I thought it would!
You, eyes inches away watching me get et: 🐰 Yeah, I see that! Wow!
🦝 Like it happened REALLY suddenly, I wish I'd prepared
🐰 Yeah, that would've been smart, huh!
🦝 Have you done anything to get ready for this thing that's definitely gonna happen to you?
🐰 I'll get right on that!
🦝 *muffled voice from 🦁's belly* Yeah, like, soon!
🐰 It's on the list!
🦝 Like, now maybe!
🐰 Definitely before the end of the month! Wow, that's rough buddy
🦝 yeah wow
🦁 buuurrrrp
