I guess I don’t really see the problem with that though. There are configuration levers you could be pulling, but those sites you’re hosting are not. There are lots of shady questions about how these models are getting training data, but crawlers have a well defined opt out mechanism.
The web would not be what we know it as without them, because it’s how you find sites. Why shouldn’t Alta Vista have one? I don’t object to what Alta Vista does with the data.
Have you used a search engine? Crawlers are not generative AI.
Does that mean this new bot is ignoring sites’ robots.txt files? The Internet works because of web crawlers, and I’m not sure how this one is different
Edited to add: Apparently one would need to add Meta-ExternalAgent to their robots file unless they had a wildcard rule, so this isn’t as widely blocked by virtue of being new. Letting it run for a few months before letting anyone know it exists is kinda shady.
A lot of fridges are made to go both ways. You have to attach the handle and the hinge when you get it. A lot of fridges will have two plugs on the other side to cover the unused bolt holes
Yeah, this sounds like a good prank: it messes with their muscle memory, but it’s otherwise harmless
Either this is implying that Linux users are hiding who they are to fit in, and Windows users are comfortable in their own skin, or this is just transphobic as fuck.
If it’s the former, this may be the wrong sub for you. If it’s the latter, this may be the wrong world for you.
But it would make the rich richer, which makes it a good bet. I think the only thing that would stop private companies being allowed to develop beachfront property in the strip is if it were to turn out to be less profitable.
But that’s true of all governments that aren’t really looking out for their people.
You accept, must the frog
Well he is on the left banister. But it’s the banister in his right? Is this an allegory?
So, no. You’re just looking for someone to hear you scream. Cool.
Can you point out the wilful ignorance or deliberate belligerence? Not including the guy who called the stuff he didn’t like to read a “miasma of stupidity”
My guy, this was a respectful conversation. Where the hell did that come from? You’re allowed to disagree with @Xanthobilly, but you’re way out of line.
Well, some advice you didn’t ask for, and that I don’t always follow: it’s easier to start a conversation where it is, and direct people towards the productive conversation you want to have, than to start off by calling someone a villain for something they already said. You didn’t make your point easy to appreciate.
I will say you’ve given me some food for thought, though.
So, telling people to not try and be funny, even those you agree with, is definitely alienating your allies. I hear what you’re saying, but I have also seen parents losing their ever loving shit at PTA meetings… And to say that everyone must treat those ignorant displays with quiet respect, because CRT was mentioned… Seems a bit beyond the pale.
Okay, so, I am reading what you’re saying, and I don’t really know how one could make a joke that isn’t, by your understanding, part of the conservative agenda.
And if that’s what you think, I am curious why you’re looking at memes at all.
I think you’re alienating your allies here. This is clearly intended to be left leaning, and you’re lumping OP with Trump and facists.
But meta’s will, and Alta Vista. I’m not angry at them when a script kitty makes a bad crawler
