  • It's not just search engines. Lots of people on Mastodon were using robots.txt to block ChatGPT (and any other LLM company they knew of) from scraping their sites/blogs.

    I disagree, to a point. I want to be able to control my services to the greatest extent possible, including picking who scrapes me.

    On the other hand, orgs as large as Google doing this poses a real threat to how the internet works right now which I hate.

  • You'd probably feel differently if it were your service. Should you be able to control who scrapes your sites or should that be all or nothing?

    For the record, I fucking hate what the internet is becoming. I naively believed that even if shit got cordoned off into the walled gardens that are mobile phone apps, the web would remain as open as it was. This is a terrible sign of things to come.

  • Nature also made our kickass brains which we use to create these amazing things.

    Those same idiots drive home in a car to an air conditioned home. What’s “natural” about any of that?

  • I remember you from the other thread. You’re a fan of feigning ignorance if it helps your point.

    Read this thread. The people encouraging violence are upvoted far more and those discouraging it are downvoted.

    It’s not just that thread either.

    To continue a theme from our previous thread - you mind if we quit playing stupid?
