"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.

I know there are tools that supposedly make it harder for AI to be trained on your images. But what about text or code? Is there any way to share things outside of a small group while minimizing the risk that some fucker will scrape them or otherwise use them for building an LLM?

Yeah, at one point he posted that fail2ban was only able to ban about 20 IPs/second, but he was getting 200 requests per second, and the bans weren't having a meaningful impact on that (i.e. the requests were all coming from different IPs). From what I remember, his system load was over 1000.

I think it was running on a VPS, but I'm not sure. As for the traffic, I think it was coming from all over. Amazon-owned netblocks, mysterious ones that were hard to trace, etc.
