Probably only works for dumb bots and I’m guessing the big ones are resilient to this sort of thing.

Judging from recent stories the big threat is bots scraping for AIs and I wonder if there is a way to poison content so any AI ingesting it becomes dumber. e.g. text which is nonsensical or filled with counter information, trap phrases that reveal any AIs that ingested it, garbage pictures that purport to show something they don’t etc.

Fairphone don’t sell replacement mainboards, presumably to stop people building phones from parts but they look very serviceable in other respects.

I used to visit once or twice a year. I don’t have any plans any time soon to go back.
