"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.

The first anti-AI tarpit. Rewritten in Python. Traps LLM crawlers in an infinite maze of fake pages and Markov babble. - NEPENTHESWEB/nepenthes-py

It simply wouldn't. To poison models that way, you need a huge amount of such subtly wrong code. Preparing intentionally bad code at sych scale is impractical.

It's easier to show clear garbage. That won't poison the model, but it gives them more work, and denies them access to good code, so they'll train on slop.

They're doing a good job of sabotaging themselves, they don't need our help - not more than simply not serving the crawlers.
