The Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (ASRG):

Sabot in the Age of AI

A list of offensive methods & strategic approaches for facilitating (algorithmic) sabotage, framework disruption, & intentional data poisoning.
Selected Tools & Frameworks

Nepenthes — Endless crawler trap.
Babble — Standalone LLM crawler tarpit.
Markov Tarpit — Traps AI bots & feeds them useless data.
Sarracenia — Loops bots into fake pages.
Antlion — Express.js middleware for infinite sinkholes.
Infinite Slop — Garbage web page generator.
Poison the WeLLMs — Reverse proxy for LLM confusion.
Marko — Dissociated Press CLI/lib.
django-llm-poison — Serves poisoned content to crawlers.
konterfAI — Model-poisoner for LLMs.
Quixotic — Static site LLM confuser.
toxicAInt — Replaces text with slop.
Iocaine — Defense against unwanted scrapers.
Caddy Defender — Blocks bots & pollutes training data.
GzipChunk — Inserts compressed junk into live gzip streams.
Chunchunmaru — Go-based web scraper tarpit.
IED — ZIP bombs for web scrapers.
FakeJPEG — Endless fake JPEGs.
Pyison — AI crawler tarpit.
HalluciGen — WP plugin that scrambles content.
Spigot — Hierarchical Markov page generator.

This is a living resource — regularly updated to reflect the shifting terrain of collective techno-disobedience and algorithmic Luddism.

I point out this, from page 28 of the book, because it gives us a better idea of how so many of those who want state socialism may have been sadly so easily seduced by rhetoric around a state "resolution" to the Covid-19 pandemic, which in fact continues to this day, despite politicians hooked on a global economic system constantly suggesting otherwise. It's why I wrote Recovering from Shock: Antifascist Struggle in an Ongoing Pandemic, which was turned into a zine, added to the Anarchist Library, and is becoming the basis for an upcoming documentary. You can read the original piece on my website here: https://www.mediaactivist.com/recovering-from-shock/

Here's a tale of how nature triumphs in the end.

Steel mills dumped molten slag in parts of Chicago and nearby areas. The slag hardened in layers up to 5 meters deep. These places became barren wastelands. Other industries dumped hot ash and cinders there.

But eventually the steel mills closed.

The deep layers of hard, toxic material were not friendly to plants. Cottonwoods are usually 30 meters tall or more. In the slag fields, stunted cottonwoods grow to just 2 meters.

But rare species that could handle these conditions began to thrive. The lakeside daisy, a federally threatened species lost to Illinois for decades, turned out to grow taller on slag than on topsoil! The capitate spike-rush, last recorded in Illinois in 1894 and considered locally extinct, was rediscovered growing on slag.

And more! Native prairie grasses like little bluestem. Native milkweeds. Even tiny white orchids called sphinx ladies' tresses.

A team of women ecologists began studying these unusual landscapes. They call themselves the Slag Queens.

@reading_recluse love this post.

im wondering.. canva has put in a lot of ai tools into their app recently.

should we be pushing back on the use of canva and boycotting posts / users that use it?

does anyone know if the ai tools integrated into canva are LLMs or are something else?

RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.

ok, updated and edited a lot: added Spanish translations and the RI and a CT hotline. one of the pages is just for SALUTE/ACTUAR (couldn't find ALERTA en espanol but I think both are useful!)
