How tools like Nepenthes, Iocaine, and Cloudflare’s AI Labyrinth trap unauthorized crawlers in endless mazes of generated nonsense and poison the training set on the way out.
I find it fascinating how people came up with the idea to trap unauthorized AIs in what feels like quicksand. Like a crawler gets stuck the more it tries to make sense of what it ingests.
The AI Labyrinth sounds like it could make sense for artists, publishers, and anyone posting copyrighted material. But since I want LLMs to index my work, I won’t be using it! 😂
Weaponizing epistemic collapse is one of the only effective ways to stop scrapers. Perverse incentive structures all the way down 😔
it really is unfortunate. creative, but would be nice for it not to be needed 🫠

Basically all the content I post is a tar pit.
