"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

easy; make a website on the dark web.
crawlers work by finding https sites and with tor being on http (and hence onion addresses being on http) the crawlers would need to be re-engineered to search http as well as https. tor is slow, so by putting it on the tor network, it's just a massive fuck you to data surveillance.
but wait, you can even be a bigger scumb by adding JS to your website. that basically makes loading it take several seconds (or minutes) longer for a regular user (depending on the data throuput of their internet connection) so imagine what it would be like with tech companies.
the point isn't to eliminate data surveillance its to be such a condescending asshole, that tech companies wouldn't bother caring for your full ass, 10-stage JS compilation, torified website.
If you couldn't tell, I've thought about this question a lot... I like seeing tech companies suffer.
