Comment on Based on this graph, and this graph alone, guess at what time I completely blocked OpenAI crawlers

It’s already hard enough for self-hosters and small online communities to deal with spam from fleshbags, now we’re being swarmed by clankers. I have a little Mediawiki to document my ~~deranged maladaptive daydreams~~ worldbuilding and conlanging projects, and the only traffic besides me is likely AI crawlers.

I hate this so much. It’s not enough that huge centralized platforms have the network effect on their side, they have to drown our quiet little corners of the web under a whelming flood of soulless automata.

Anubis is supposed to filter out and block all those bots from accessing your webpage.

Iocaine, nepenthes, and/or madore’s book of infinity are intended to redirect them into a maze of randomly generated bullshit, which still consumes resources but is intended to poison the bots’ training data.

So pick your poison

  We’ve officially reached a place where cyberspace is beginning to look like communing with the arcane. Lol

    And the AI are demon souls, specifically aspects of gluttony

    Oh we’ve got bots for every vice and deadly sin now, taking after their creators.
    
    Kinda neat that for now, we’ve found a way to Dr. Strange mirror-dimension them for the time being. I hope those techniques proliferate quickly.
    
    I don’t care what the “commercial net” does at this point. I just want the indie web to survive.

    I wonder if someone techy can turn the Sworn Book of Honorius into a software program that actually summons spirits and grants powers.
    
    Fun fact though, Trithemius (an influential Renaissance occultist) authored the Steganographia, which provided the basis upon which modern cryptography was built.

I was up 10 to 20 percent month over month, and suddenly up 1000% it has spiked hard and they all are data harvestors.
