Set up something (heh, maybe even an AI model) to generate plausible but broken fake source code when you're scraped by AI bots.
GIGO
- mrweasel 2y agoThat was my first thought. Normal looking repo when viewed using Git or a browser, the nastiest, buggiest malware you've ever seen when scraped by an AI bot. My second thought: Surely no company is stupid enough to train an AI on data that hasn't been checked and verified good by a real human expert.... Then I remember that Google just assumed that Reddit is reliable.
- barfbagginus 2y agoPOV: injecting AI bots with all this horrible attack code actually accelerates the rate at which they go rogue and start arming themselves with novel attacks. In effect, your attack spam AI will be a transfer learning provider for the scraper AI, and you're giving free training! Very cool! As someone who wants to see and maybe even build self sustaining rogue AIs inhabiting random niches in the information ecology, it would be cool to see corporate scraper AIs eventually run off their rails because we gave them too much attack spam!

- yazzku 2y agoThanks, I'll get working on the git version of it.
