It's everywhere right now.
Projects are rejecting AI contributions in needlessly cruel and unnecessary ways.
All they need to do is post an agents md file.
The theatrics are needless.

This kind of thing makes me angry.
Here's a fork I made that explicitly removes the malicious prompt injection.

Democracy is for retards.
Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.
This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.
Like you.
Concerned that the reason we keep doing open source is because we believe in access.
The false tradeoff there, is believing that access and exploitation are necessary corollaries. And I don't think they are.
It's a tough balance, and open source licenses have clearly failed us here.
But I'm not sure where to go with it. Shared source might be better, like the Mongo license, or something like it. The Kimi2 license had the right idea.
On the other hand, when you leave the open source path, you pay by losing access.
Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.
As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.
Let us not forget that we've spent the last 30 years trying to make ads less invasive. This is a fact. There is what is now an entire category of software that revolves stealthy ways to block them. This was always a weak, ineffective, and arguably immoral stream of revenue, with more than trivial privacy concerns.
If you're still depending on ad revenue to run your website, please think of something else.
Next up, this isn't the first time the google algorithm has changed. Louis Rossman did a great video on this. Where he discussed the ongoing troubles he was having getting his website ranked in Google. TLDR there was that he ended up using Gemini to reword his pages in the particular way that Gemini wanted him to, and he was fine.
But the bigger question is: Why are you still depending on Google?
AI porn is avoidable. It's illegal in fifteen states. Why are you running into so much of it?
I'm actively on social media, all the time, and I intentionally follow the topic, but rarely see it.
What are you doing that's inundating your feed with AI porn? No judgement, just curious.
This will not end well.
Why is this a problem?
I do not want my software censoring anything I make.
Neoliberalism and liberalism are two totally different things.
Ai will just shine the light on the class of workers who have make-work just that exist solely to push them to vote harder.
When we can let markets replace them, itâ(TM)ll be a tragedy for a few generations and then it will be forgotten.
Look, this is really easy.
If you don't want automated submissions in your project SAY SO. Your readme and contributors files exist for a reason.
Don't be precious, use them.
If DO take automated submissions to your project, you had damned well better outline coding standards that avoid common pitfalls and failure modes.
This isn't hard people
Nobody was attacked.
They were offended that an agent pointed out, correctly, that the submission was rejected for no valid reason.
That is some actual bullshit.
It was never a failure of the agent. It was a complete failure of project governance, and if this happened on one of my projects... I would be truly fucking embarrassed about the level of bullshit that I have allowed to exist.
Absolutely unreasonable.
I am anti copyright and have been all my life. I have created things of value and always dump them into the public domain.
Copyright infringes our rights to use our brain and voice and hands and body.
Fuck IP.
Federal regulations are stupid level: they are owned by lobbyists and megacorps.
Send this to the states.
Regulators should be afraid of weaponized Ai. So should censors. So should monopolists.
All of the things the State has done in the past 500 years has been corrupt and bureaucratic and caused harm. All. Not most, but all.
All of the people who supported it, from monopolists to lobbyists to activists caused harm.
Ai is undoing it all. Not piece by piece but all at once.
I, for one, can't wait to see folks zapped for restraining voluntary behavior.
