But not AI companies because fuck you, that’s why.
(Copyright isn’t the solution either but hey all this is moot: ethical capitalism is an oxymoron.)

It's so dumb and infuriating how many companies are already or plan to AI generate product pictures and regarding clothing the models for "diversity and inclusion".
Fuck no.
There is no point in a product picture that's not showing the product and there is no point in using models who don't exist.
as someone who has worn knockoff raybans for decades, yet another sincere 'n' hearty "fuck you, creepizoids" to meta. https://wandering.shop/@susankayequinn/117123975744986279
If an AI can do it, that supports my suspicion that mansplaining isn't gendered behavior.

I take exception to Myth No.4: AI is agnostic, perfectly ready and eager to fuck up all tasks without bias
Dolly Parton stood for exactly the opposite of what Trump is: she was selfless, caring, kind, brave, etc. Fuck Trump! And fuck him even more for p[osting an AI generated photo of him with Dolly! #DollyParton #Dolly #RIPDollyParton
So... I was working on preparing forge.cloudsling.dev to open to the public, to start hosting #FLOSS projects for free, away from Github and other tech overlords...
Well, it will take some more time than I wanted. Our services have been down for around 1h because of a bots avalanche that have been scrapping all they could.
Now, the "attack" continues:
CPU usage above 80% of total capacity.
Outbound traffic at 3MiBps... when we only have 15 registered users, and only me is looser enough to be touching that on a weekend.
Shutting down the servers for the rest of this weekend... 💔

seen an ai generated poster? someone hand you an ai generated flyer? track the person responsible down and start eating it in front of them. paper is edible. look at the stupid fucking expression on their face when they realize what you're doing. what the fuck are they going to say? "stop eating that"? think about how stupid that would make them look. and good luck snitching, fuckshit. all the evidence is in my belly. asshole

So many notes in this story sound familiar, echo posts that have crossed my TL:
- initial skepticism
- mandate from management who got swept up in the hype
- found a way to work with it
- “it honestly felt magical”
- hard not to just use it for everything
- just used it for everything
- delivered a whole project without knowing how it worked
- embarrassing mistake from over-reliance
- “realized the AI chat was making me delusional”
- hamster wheel feeling
- loss of motivation, hints of depressive symptoms
- creeping sense of purposelessness, existential dread
- creeping realization of quality loss
- creeping realization of ethical disaster
- creeping realization of hidden human and environmental costs
- re-finding joy and sense of purpose / self in doing work by hand
- fuck it, I’m out

E não dš para tirar.
For fuck's sake!
É que nem hš alternativa. A menos que agora apareça algum "calibre no AI".
We tweaked our firewalls and our Anubis rules. The attack persisted, but it was contained.
We also scaled our systems to avoid more accidental downtimes caused by these scrapping operations... Then the attackers scaled up their scrapping campaign, and found new ways to bypass our #Anubis config.
This past night I managed to come up with a stricter configuration that blocks virtually all of them (I don't know for how long this will last, though).
As of now, our Anubis instance is stopping around 40 requests per second.
I know that this is "nothing" for anyone working in very big systems, but bear in mind that this is after I already blocked around 3.5% of all the IPv4 addresses existing, and it accounts for 95% of our traffic. For every legitimate request we have, we have 19 that come from bots.
P.S.: In an ideal world, I would openly share the rules I found to work well... Unfortunately I don't think that would be a good idea. I don't want to make the scrappers' job any easier.
