Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives.

In my country blue is conservatives... But I agree with the sentiment! It worked for California, it can work for your country, let the Dems stop fearing they lose elections, give them comfortable margins and then massively support progressives who can bring in the good stuff, they won't have a chance if the party core thinks the very future of elections is on the line, but if they think they'll likely win anyway, you might just be able to push through a progressive candidate and end the Neoliberal decay.
To be fair, California is kind of dysfunctional and constantly trips over its own regulations when trying to get anything built. For instance, needing excessive environmental impact review for things like trains that will obviously help the environment, or limiting ferry boats crossing the bay to protect the environment even though it likely results in more people driving instead.

"I used the AI to destroy the AI"
And consumed the power output of a medium country to do it.
Yeah, great job!

All the while each AI costs more power than a million human beings to run, and the world burns down around us.
This is the great filter.
Why isn't there detectable life out there? They all do the same thing we're doing. Undone by greed.

We truly are getting dumber as a species. We're facing climate change but running some of the most power hungry processers in the world to spit out cooking recipes and homework answers for millions of people.

Law enforcement doesn't convict anyone, that's a judge's job. If a LEO falsely arrests you, you can sue them, and it should be pretty open-and-shut if it's due to AI hallucination. Enough of that and LEO will stop it.
More likely they will remove your ability to sue them if you are talking about the usa and many other countries

I have no idea why the makers of LLM crawlers think it's a good idea to ignore bot rules. The rules are there for a reason and the reasons are often more complex than "well, we just don't want you to do that". They're usually more like "why would you even do that?"
Ultimately you have to trust what the site owners say. The reason why, say, your favourite search engine returns the relevant Wikipedia pages and not bazillion random old page revisions from ages ago is that Wikipedia said "please crawl the most recent versions using canonical page names, and do not follow the links to the technical pages (including history)". Again: Why would anyone index those?
Because you are coming from the perspective of a reasonable person
These people are billionaires who expect to get everything for free. Rules are for the plebs, just take it already

Imagine how much power is wasted on this unfortunate necessity.
Now imagine how much power will be wasted circumventing it.
Fucking clown world we live in

Autocracy is 100% guaranteed in the USA since November, Schumer never had any choice on the matter. Whether or not Congress went into recess Trump would be acting like a God King. The only people who can do anything about it? Congress, who in this hypothetical wouldn't be able to because of the recess and in our actual reality aren't able to because more than half of them are traitors.
We'll never know what happened because the senate couldn't even filibuster it for a day to try to force a negotiation or a shutdown. There was no reason for 10 senators to vote yes on the CR.

I don't like that 10 dnc senators voted yes, but I absolutely place 100% of the blame on the GOP.
Reminder that failure to pass a resolution by the 14th, within 4 days of its introduction on the 10th, would automatically trigger government shutdown and recess of congress, giving Trump even more authority to discontinue payments to government programs and offices. It was made law on the 15th of March. Republicans left no room for negotiation.
Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.

People complain about AI possibly being unreliable, then actively root for things that are designed to make them unreliable.

I find this amusing, had a conversation with an older relative who asked about AI because I am "the computer guy" he knows. Explained basically how I understand LLMs to operate, that they are pattern matching to guess what the next token should be based on a statistical probability. Explained that they sometimes hallucinate, or go of on wild tangents due to this and that they can be really good at aping and regurgitating things but there is no understanding simply respinning fragments to try to generate a response that pleases the asker.
He observed, "oh we are creating computer religions, just without the practical aspects of having to operate in the mundane world that have to exist before a real religion can get started. That's good, religions that have become untethered from day to day practical life have never caused problems for anyone."
Which I found scarily insightful.

I'm glad we're burning the forests even faster in the name of identity politics.

i mean this is just designed to thwart ai bots that refuse to follow robots.txt rules of people who specifically blocked them.

Definitely falls under the category of a Trap ICE card.

No, it is far less environmentally friendly than rc bots made of metal, plastic, and electronics full of nasty little things like batteries blasting, sawing, burning and smashing one another to pieces.

Here's the key distinction:
This only makes AI models unreliable if they ignore "don't scrape my site" requests. If they respect the requests of the sites they're profiting from using the data from, then there's no issue.
People want AI models to not be unreliable, but they also want them to operate with integrity in the first place, and not profit from people's work who explicitly opt-out their work from training.
