I don't really care about Anna's Archive, but let's not make them out to be some kind of Robin Hood story.
They have (illegally) scraped and re-hosted mountains of proprietary data and are now deliberately prompt-injecting unwitting LLM users in order to steal money from them too.
- literalAardvark 5mo agoThat's not a prompt injection. It's a gentle nudge at most and if your agent sends them money just for that without you expecting it you should donate more to thank them for finding your sev 10 bug before someone did an actual prompt injection on it.
- petcat 5mo ago> Yes we stole your wallet but it was your fault because you let your wallet be so easy to steal! Now you should give us even more money too!
- literalAardvark 5mo agoNo, you gave the wallet away. Edit: or, rather, your synthetic 4 year old savant did. Still, entirely on you.
- mpalmer 5mo agoYou have to be pretty unwitting to hand your wallet to a text generation machine.
- davsti4 5mo agoIllegally scraped? What about Common Crawl, Zyte, Diffbot, and others?
- mplewis 5mo agoIf you can be tricked into giving someone all your money when they politely ask for it, you weren't going to hold onto your money for very long.
