Cloudflare turns AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts
arstechnica.comI guess AI's talking to AI's about gibberish is the future of all energy use.
Is anyone deliberately generating nonsense, or worse malignant falsehoods, to pollute the crawlers?
Yup, using iocaine https://lib.rs/crates/iocaine. AI crawlers are getting text generated by a markov chain built from Moby Dick.
Is it effective? Eh, probably not. Fun though.
Well now that Ross ulbricht has been pardoned I'm not sure iocaine is all that useful
Lawless or lawful? I don't understand why people hate crawlers that much. I understand arguments about ones that violate robots.txt, but not correct ones.
