Bots are overwhelming websites with their hunger for AI data

"The report, titled “Are AI Bots Knocking Cultural Heritage Offline?” was written by Weinberg of the GLAM-E Lab, a joint initiative between the Centre for Science, Culture and the Law at the University of Exeter and the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU Law, which works with smaller cultural institutions and community organizations to build open access capacity and expertise. GLAM is an acronym for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. The report is based on a survey of 43 institutions with open online resources and collections in Europe, North America, and Oceania. Respondents also shared data and analytics, and some followed up with individual interviews. The data is anonymized so institutions could share information more freely, and to prevent AI bot operators from undermining their countermeasures.

Of the 43 respondents, 39 said they had experienced a recent increase in traffic. Twenty-seven of those 39 attributed the increase in traffic to AI training data bots, with an additional seven saying the AI bots could be contributing to the increase.

“Multiple respondents compared the behavior of the swarming bots to more traditional online behavior such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks designed to maliciously drive unsustainable levels of traffic to a server, effectively taking it offline,” the report said. “Like a DDoS incident, the swarms quickly overwhelm the collections, knocking servers offline and forcing administrators to scramble to implement countermeasures. As one respondent noted, ‘If they wanted us dead, we’d be dead.’”"

It gets even worse! When I click on the listing, it's still trying to gaslight me that an AMD GeForce RTX 4060 is a real thing.

Not only that, it's got a piece of (presumably AI generated) copy text going on about how good this laptop's "Intel® Core™ i5 Processor" is for gaming, when it clearly has an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS according to the spec sheet. Although I'm not sure who to believe now.

We are fucking doomed.

I was just browsing for all-AMD gaming laptops (which are surprisingly rare) and this came up.

Oh boy, check out my all-AMD laptop with an AMD GeForce RTX 4060 GPU!

Is this the beginning of the AI apocalypse?

The Pope declaring #ArtificialIntelligence as a threat to humanity is something I did not expect to see.

But is more confusing is tech companies sending representatives to the Vatican.

U juniora i Codexu mam za sebou dost ukolu na normalizaci. 1 normo-ukol je priblizne 4h casu => 1068 Kc.

Codex me stoji ve VC cenach 5219 Kc mesicne.

S Codexem jsem odbavil 175 produkcnich normo-ukolu => 1 ukol ~ 30 Kc.

Kdybych mel stejnou mesicni davku odbavit juniory stali by me 186900 Kc.

Jedina vyhoda juniornich vyvojaru je preciznost. Vsechno ostatni bere Codex. Coz je dost smutne a jestli AI vyrazne nezdrazi, tak to bude budouci trh dost bolet.

Od minuleho ctvrtka si delam reflexi prace s juniornimi vyvojari vs Codex. Nakousli jsme to s kolegou z Kalkulacky.

Rok pracuju s juniornim vyvojarem (placenym) a mesic s Codexem.

TL;DR: Codex mi dokaze juniora nejenom kompletne nahradit, ale za soucasne VC dumpingove ceny je 36x efektivnejsi.

Vsechno delam komentari v kodu, prompt je jenom "najdi koment TODO: Agent - neco a udelej ho." Muj Linear je vyhledavani TODO: v codebase.

This week, Angela LANsbury accuses everyone in the area of murder.

The data says you'll probably kill someone if you live there. With 'crime-predicting' police tech, it doesn't matter if you've done it.
