              Plenty of Democrats are voting to put trump nominees in office, plenty are voting on partisan spending bills. The CR vote should tip you off that any democrat is not better than any republican.... half of them are complicit too. 10 Senate Dems just financed this authoritarian takeover.

                nothing can be improved while capitalism or authority exist; all improvement will be seized and used to oppress.

                The problem you aren’t recognizing is that, until humans are no longer driven by self preservation, there will always be oppression in any system. They all have and will continue to breakdown. It’s easy to blame capitalism but even socialist systems eventually cave under the weight of greed and power. We are the problem mon frère.

                  The article says it's not poisoning the AI data, only providing valid facts. The scraper still gets content, just not the content it was aiming for.

                  Thank you for catching that. Even reading through again, I couldn't find it while skimming. With the mention of X2 and RSS, I assumed that paragraph would just be more technical description outside my knowledge. Instead, what I did hone in on was

                  "No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense."

                  Leading me to be pessimistic.

                    if you're dumb enough to trust a large language model because someone told you "iTs Ai!" no amount of facts will be of great utility to you.

                      In terms of Lemmy instances, if your instance is behind cloudflare and you turn on AI protection, federation breaks. So their tools are not very helpful for fighting the AI scraping.

                        I’m imagining a sci-fi spin on this where AI generators are used to keep AI crawlers in a loop, and they accidentally end up creating some unique AI culture or relationship in the process.

                            Not a single Democrat voted to confirm Hegseth and 3 Republicans also didnt but he still got confirmed.

                            Every single Democrat was present and voted no for the Budget which passed the House and it still passed.

                            Even if 10 dems voted not to shutdown government and enter congressional recess, the CR only exists because Republicans wrote it and won't compromise.

                            Any Democrat is Better than Any Republican.

                              Lol I work in healthcare and Cloudflare regularly blocks incoming electronic orders because the clinical notes "resemble" SQL injection. Nurses type all sorts of random stuff in their notes so there's no managing that. Drives me insane!

                                Perhaps an AI crawler crashed Melvin's machine halfway through the reply, denying that information to everyone else!

                                    there will always be complications, sure. PERFECT may not be achievable.

                                    but apparently we can't have GOOD, we can't have DECENT, we can't have OKAY until the last owner is strangled with the entrails of the last enforcer. not for more than the about ten seconds it takes them to notice.
