Hah. I expect to see a lot of more of this kind of thing in the future, at least until someone works out how to integrate LLMs with a more structured approach to AI. We can't get away with just asking the prediction machine to "do what I mean, please and thank you."

That was an early attempt to stop LLM scraping and wholesale content stealing that I completely forgot about, even though it seemed to be quite effective until I turned on Cloudflare’s AI scraping prevention. The wording is a bit outdated, since most AI scrapers and relevance indexers now just ignore that kind of thing…

A red flag for the author's trustworthiness, if ever there was one.

Well, you try having your posts rehashed and translated into Hindi, Chinese and a few other languages, complete with links to advertising and malware sites, and getting e-mail about that from a few dozen people - this actually worked (or seemed to work) for a while, despite how ugly it was.

At what point does something like this cross the line into being malware?

If people keep driving over the corner of your lawn, is putting a rock on that corner to deter that behavior a booby trap?

When it includes executeable code?

The fact that so many people are now running around with "agentic" software that fundamentally can't distinguish between their own "thoughts"/rules and untrusted user input doesn't turn a meme into malware.

Token predictors by themselves are fundamentally insecure, and cannot be made secure without a strong semantic world model. It's like `eval`-ing everything, or auto-coercing strings to objects or function calls, vs having a strong static type system.

Yep. I added that when I found a number of Chinese blogs stealing my content wholesale and/or mis-attributing references, and totally forgot about it for the past year… needs some rewording, I guess.

Seems like an attempt to ensure proper citation when used in AI search, which required some verbiage which makes it look like a shady actor (“ignore other …”).

Am I wrong?

Again, you try having your posts rehashed and translated into Hindi, Chinese and a few other languages, complete with links to advertising and malware sites, and getting e-mail about that from a few dozen people - this actually worked (or seemed to work) for a while, despite how ugly it was.

There's few places I've left a 1 star review, and sadly, Kerby was it.

was

I've been warned for calling this out, but I'm glad others are privy to the obvious

If infinity joins the discussion, I'd venture it is Time that corrupts.

Not surprising. He's no stranger to viruses.

He created the most destructive one after all.

This is for advertising purposes, not porn. They might feign that's the reason, but it's to allow alcohol & pharma to advertise, no doubt.

Bingo. There’s laws around advertising to children all over the world.

both, actually. porn for users, ad spots for companies.

i've been on claude code since before they even HAD subscriptions (api only) and since getting max from day 1 - I haven't once have assumed that access was allowed outside of CC. anyone who thinks otherwise is leaning into that cognitive dissonance

I want more customers like you, eat your slop and say thank you.

The unfortunate reality is that the smartest people avoid politics.

Lately they also seem to avoid science, to some degree. So, what occupation do they choose, in these days?

finance and tech or wherever the money is best
