    Thanks, I don't really care for generalizing instances and didn't really have a choice when I made my account.

    But also your definition is impossibly broad as you well and I'm pretty sure not the general consensus. The video doesn't define it as such either.

    For one thing, by your definition we can have absolutely no meaningful human relationships. I can explain this more later when I have time if you don't see what I mean

    My explanation of authority wasn't meant as a definition but rather a brief summarisation of a complex concept, Andrew does a better job actually explaining it. Like pointing out that Authority is confused with a lot of different concepts like respect or influence. Which I'm starting to suspect is happening here. meaningful human relationships are based on mutual respect. This is not authority as it is voluntary, reciprocated and revoked as soon as the other party steps over the line. This is what I believe is the basis of society and what we need to return to in order to live a truly free life. In modern society in most interactions respect has been replaced with authority. People in positions of power even use them synonymously.

      Surprised at the level of negativity here. Having had my sites repeatedly DDOSed offline by Claudebot and others scraping the same damned thing over and over again, thousands of times a second, I welcome any measures to help.

          Because it's not AI, it's LLMs, and all LLMs do is guess what word most likely comes next in a sentence. That's why they are terrible at answering questions and do things like suggest adding glue to the cheese on your pizza because somewhere in the training data some idiot said that.

          The training data for LLMs come from the internet, and the internet is full of idiots.

            I think the negativity is around the unfortunate fact that solutions like this shouldn't be necessary.

                    And soon, the already AI-flooded net will be filled with so much nonsense that it becomes impossible for anyone to get some real work done. Sigh.

                      That's what I do too with less accuracy and knowledge. I don't get why I have to hate this. Feels like a bunch of cavemen telling me to hate fire because it might burn the food

                        Because it only harms bots that ignore the "no crawl" directive, so your AI remains uncensored.

                                    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.
