I think I managed to hack together a very small-scale, defensive "AI"-poisoning approach for my own static website which is based on Jekyll and deploys via Codeberg Pages. :Antifa: :black_trans_knife:
Static pages and no access to web server settings means more advanced AI-training-fuckery won't work – but by duct-taping together https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html with some Woodpecker actions it's not too bad for what it is! :guillotine:
Will write that up once I get a few minutes to ask for feedback!

Seeing all these great options for how to sabotage and poison crawlers for „AI“ training, I should a) implement one for my website and b) kind of hope that @Codeberg deploys something like this for protecting its infrastructure that regularly suffers under the load generated by those crawlers. https://tldr.nettime.org/@asrg/113867412641585520

Today we hiked up a mountain next to Esquel, and then headed to the town of Trevelin, which wears its Welsh origins very publicly, including a huge dragon on the tourist information 😄 🏴

I’ve been using an Argentinian SIM in parallel to an EU one for ~2 months now and it’s a great way to really appreciate the protections that EU regulations provide.
As soon as websites assume you’re not covered by the 🇪🇺, the amount of ads and coercive BS eg from platforms like Facebook & Instagram goes just through the roof, without any opt-outs.

«Zuckerberg was, until this last week, being celebrated for the very thing people are upset about right now — flimsy, self-conscious and performative macho bullshit that only signifies strength to weak men and those credulous enough to accept it, which in this case means "almost every major media outlet."»

«This is perhaps the hole that AI fills for the Labour government; having long abandoned any substantive belief in the transformative power of socialism»
«Decomputing argues that, wherever AI is proposed as "the answer", there is a gap for the self-organisation of people who already know better what needs to be done»

After doing a 24 km hike with @organicmaps today: does anyone know if there’s an option to set up a personal factor to adjust walking speed? The default seemed to be wildly off for my own speed.

My secret to above average fitness? Plateauing and then waiting to get old enough to get into a different age bracket. From below average to above average, by benefit of turning 40 😅
Alternatively, a cautionary tale about the limits of quantifying health and wellbeing.

«We don’t think the [UK] AI action plan was literally written by ChatGPT. But you’d be forgiven for thinking they used an LLM to map out some bullet points based on the [Tony Blair Institute’s] recommendations. It reads like a tepid sixth-form essay.»

«The center of gravity of our system seems to bend naturally, not toward justice and human progress, but toward lies of injustice and genocide and corruption. It also teaches us that every bit of human progress—every bit of it—is currently opposed by people who would rather create as much supremacy as possible, and are quite willing to cheat and steal and kill to get it.»
