  • There a small number of AI companies training full LLM models. And they usually do a few trains per years. What most people see as "AI bots" are not actually that.

    The influence of AI over the net is another topic. But anubis is also not doing anything about that as it just makes so the AI bots waste more energy getting the data or at most that data under "anubis protection" does not enter the training dataset. The AI will still be there.

    Am I in the list of "good bots" ?sometimes I scrap websites for price tracking or change tracking. If I see a website running malware on my end I would most likely just block that site, one legitimate user less.

  • Some websites being under ddos attack =/= all sites are under constant ddos attack, nor it cannot exist without it.

    First there's a logic fallacy in there. Being used by does not mean it's useful. Many companies use AI for some task, does that make AI useful? Not.

    The logic it's still there all anubis can do against ddos is raising a little the barrier before the site goes down. That's call mitigation not protection. If you are targeted for a ddos that mitigation is not going to do much, and your site is going down regardless.

  • AI does not triple traffic. It's a completely irrational statement to make.

    There's a very limited number of companies training big LLM models, and these companies do train a model a few times per year. I would bet that the number of requests per year of s resource by an AI scrapper is on the dozens at most.

    Using as much energy as a available per scrapping doesn't even make physical sense. What does that sentence even mean?

  • I'm not saying it's not open source or free. I say that it does not contribute to make the web free and open. It really only contribute into making everyone waste more energy surfing the web.

    The web is already too heavy we do NOT need PoW added to that.

    I don't think even a raspberry 2 would go down over a web scrap. And Anubis cannot protect from proper ddos so...

  • lads

    Jump

  • That whole thing is under two wrong suppositions.

    It assumes that we sites are under constant ddos and that cannot exist if there is not ddos protection.

    This is false.

    It assumes that anubis is effective against ddos attacks. Which is not. Is a mitigation, but any ddos attack worth is name would not have any issue bringing down a site with anubis. As the sever still have to handle request even if they are smaller requests.

    Anubis only use case is to make AI scrappers to consume more energy while scrapping, while also making many legitimate users also use more energy. It's just being promoted in the anti-AI wave, but I don't really see much usefulness into it.

  • How does it factor in the "free" and "open"?

    It seems to be more about IP protection that any other thing.

  • Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting?

    Jump

  • In general they are the ones breaking your windows if you don't pay. Paying for protection is more like paying for them not to fuck you up. If other person does something to you it's not their problem.

    At least that's how it works here.

  • That "unlocking your full potential" sounds more like personal coach pseudoscience than actual medical practice, though.

    Be sure to go to actual collegiate professionals with a certified degree in psychology or psychiatry.

  • What if a billionaire wants to help you?

  • If my nigerian princes have taught me anything is that these kind of things are always best done by western union.

  • Are you scared of AI becoming sentient? How do we ensure we never make one that is?

    Jump

  • Either it becomes a benevolent god that guides us to a better future or it erases humankind.

    It's a win win situation. So I'm bot worried.

  • If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?

    Jump

  • How the hell thinks suffering is good? That's cult level thinking.

  • Astronomers Discover Most Massive Black Hole Yet - 36 Billion Times of our Sun

    Jump

  • It uses a new method to detect and measure black holes in certain indirect ways.

    I would like to see results duplicated by other experiments.

  • Should large Fediverse instances and Bluesky encourage, not require, users to opt-in to bridges that connect the Fediverse to Bluesky and other non-fedi social web platforms?

    Jump

  • I don't really like bridges, tends to be very clunky. I recently interacted with a bridged account over mastodon and it was a really pluf experience.

    I don't really like bluesky anyway. I won't invest in a platform that will be bought and enthisitfy by some fascists as twitter was.

  • Are we at risk of losing classical editions of texts to AI?

    Jump

  • No. If somehow someone starts to try that is as easy as digitally signing the original documents.

  • Torrent vs DDL

    Jump

  • DDL links will eventually go down, and it's a single point of failure, once down the file may be lost forever.

    Torrent is much more resilient long term.

    Not strictly torrent. But I still use eDonkey Network, and it's healthy as hell, even as all projects are almost abandoned, as long as someone it's using it you can share. The power of p2p

  • YSK: Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy

    Jump

  • That's precisely your issue before. Voting in reddit is not private as admins know that info and can share with anyone so the "bad voter" could get prosecuted. But users, like you, think it's private because they don't see it.

    Be consistent with your argument at least.

    I will disengage here. Bye!

  • I don't know how to break this... But voting in Lemmy is not choosing a president.

    Voting is like booing or clapping in a public agora. It's not private. If you assume is private that's on you.

    Not even on your beloved reddit. Reddit admins know all your votes.
