Wait until they find out that AI is scraping their web sites.
Well, Reddit’s got a contract for AI companies to scrape their content, so pig boy Spez is getting paid, he don’t give a fuck
I’m sure they don’t care, or are all about it.
All of these companies only benefit from AI being employed to manufacture consent, alter reality and shape people’s social trends and habits. This is why they don’t want their data archived, they want to be able to use mobs of AI agents disguised as people to shape narrative and decide what people think is true.
It’s already in massive progress across Reddit because it’s so easy to disperse undercover AI instances and create conversations to influence people.
Even if you think yourself to be a critical thinker and reasonable, if you go into a huge, popular post and everyone in there is saying how the sky is green, and you ask what they’re talking about because you know the sky is blue, and then dozens of people pile on you, downvote you, call you names and insult you for believing in false facts and calling you naive and easily programmed, you’re really going to question reality and you may even go outside to take a second look at the sky.
Of course, they wouldn’t do anything this bold, they will instead make far more subtle forms of “common knowledge” sentiments, able to change the minds of people who are otherwise smart and logical, but like every person, everywhere, just wants to fit in. So if those people see constant messages like “Of course it’s not a genocide, that was obviously manufactured propaganda, I have a brother over there and he’s saying…” etc, etc. That will absolutely change public perception of events and issues. To a cataclysmic degree.
It’s already happening and it’s even happening here. Everyone needs to get a lot more skeptical and a lot less online.
Content scraping is harming the information business in ways that could not have been foreseen.
What an absolute ridiculous thing to say.
“This isn’t letting us shape reality, that’s our entire business model, we are working tirelessly to shape people’s reality so this is definitely a no-go.”
Gotta control the press before you can rewrite history.
I wander what happened to Archive in 2024 when it was “hacked” and some pages “disappeared”…
Fuck you spez
That’s very 1984 of them
Is the Guardian actually blocking the Internet Archive? Seems to work for me
Meanwhile,
e; huh, Mediapost article did in fact start loading on the Archive a few minutes after I posted this
Start self-hosting archive box They cant block everyone
If you have a concrete suggestion as to the stack don’t hold back 😃
Is this related to the owner of those multiple archive sites being outed as a Russian DDoS perpetrator?
is this a meme? I don’t get the joke.
