CassandrichHeads-up for anyone who doesn't want their posts scraped and handed over to an LLM.

DB@lawyersgunsnmoney AFAICT he made a bot you hand your social media credentials over to and it logs in to all your accounts, scrapes everything, and passes it to an LLM service to "summarize" (and keep for training). Utter clownery. Normally I would just block, but I'm screenshotting and sharing this because it's a privacy threat to everyone.

@dalias @lawyersgunsnmoney he them goes and insults everyone here who values privacy even the slightest to top it all off.
Then criticized the Fediverse and pointing reason why he left.
Just typical harassment/abuser "You are the problem, not me! It's all your fault."
GunChleoc@YvanDaSilva @dalias @lawyersgunsnmoney Thanks for flagging up which user it is. Blocked from my server along with the IP address of his prod instance of the tool.
The Doctor@gunchleoc @YvanDaSilva @dalias @lawyersgunsnmoney What IP is he using? I'd like to add them to my .htaccess blocks as well (because I don't trust people like that to scrape more than a socnet feed.
Johnny von Awesome@drwho @gunchleoc @YvanDaSilva @dalias @lawyersgunsnmoney Don't block him with .htaccess, redirect him to his own Mastodon profile to really mess with his data. Lol.
@drwho @mek2600 @gunchleoc @YvanDaSilva @lawyersgunsnmoney Unless you have users on your instance using his AI-scraper client, he's not making any http connections to your instance.
He and his app's users are following you from their own instances, so your posts get federated there, and then they're letting the app log in to their instances and scrape everything from there.
The only use of IP blocking is if you're worried you have local users who might try out his app.
@dalias @drwho @gunchleoc @YvanDaSilva @lawyersgunsnmoney Good point. I forget that fedi isn't the typical client/server design I'm used to thinking about.
