This bit on how to poison video-based AI scrapers with tailored subtitles is great (bonus points for .ass being the file format).
sounds like something @asrg would appreciate too!

@gedankenstuecke @asrg it is funny but ineffective

@feliks @gedankenstuecke @asrg The video is quite explanatory, and while I agree that it's funny, I don't quite understand why it would be considered ineffective. Could you elaborate on what makes it fall short?

@cr_br @gedankenstuecke @asrg you can just filter these perturbations. ofc this adds some required effort but still it doesn't do anything relevant to stop motivated entities

@feliks @cr_br @asrg I don’t think that totally stopping it is the point, the point is raising the cost for doing this, and if people collectively take action it raises the price quite a bit. For something that already doesn’t actually make money but burns through VC capital for now.

@gedankenstuecke @cr_br @asrg i don't believe this to be much of a financial burden but rather a nice art project
the authors themselves also say they see it to likely have little influence

@feliks @cr_br @asrg I’m less pessimistic, in the absence of any meaningful regulation, the combined impact of many direct actions is better than nothing imho.
