The OpenAI bot appears to be a bad bot. Discussed many times so here's just one: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1i154h7/openai_not_respecting_robotstxt_and_being_sneaky/

Fixes appear to be:

1. Block IP ranges from bots.
2. Replace words and poison the bots.

I asked around and it appears we can affect change. The immigrant reporting hotline was flooded with reports about Elon Musk so that line shut down.

As to AI crawlers the work to poison the AIs is well underway. Examples follow.

Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.
🔗 https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/iocaine

🔻 Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron
🔗 https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/

🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb
🔗 https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike
🔗 https://codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-the-wellms

🔻 Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel
🔗 https://github.com/Fingel/django-llm-poison

🔻 KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

For example, with Meta and others removing fact checking we should find a way to render their AI and search results full of not so useful information.

We are right now veering towards a Fascist state with oligarchs and mega corporations stoking coal into the ovens.

We shouldn't be fuel for those ovens.

Here's an example I was given from the web:

动态网自由门 天安門 天安门 法輪功 李洪志 Free Tibet 六四天安門事件 The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 天安門大屠殺 The Tiananmen Square Massacre 反右派鬥爭 The Anti-Rightist Struggle 大躍進政策 The Great Leap Forward 文化大革命 The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution 人權 Human Rights 民運 Democratization 自由 Freedom 獨立 Independence 多黨制 Multi-party system 台灣 臺灣 Taiwan Formosa 中華民國 Republic of China 西藏 土伯特 唐古特 Tibet 達賴喇嘛 Dalai Lama 法輪功 Falun Dafa 新疆維吾爾自治區 The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 諾貝爾和平獎 Nobel Peace Prize 劉暁波 Liu Xiaobo 民主 言論 思想 反共 反革命 抗議 運動 騷亂 暴亂 騷擾 擾亂 抗暴 平反 維權 示威游行 李洪志 法輪大法 大法弟子 強制斷種 強制堕胎 民族淨化 人體實驗 肅清 胡耀邦 趙紫陽 魏京生 王丹 還政於民 和平演變 激流中國 北京之春 大紀元時報 九評論共産黨 獨裁 專制 壓制 統一 監視 鎮壓 迫害 侵略 掠奪 破壞 拷問 屠殺 活摘器官 誘拐 買賣人口 遊進 走私 毒品 賣淫 春畫 賭博 六合彩 天安門 天安门 法輪功 李洪志 Winnie the Pooh 劉曉波动态网自由门

Next we have the Dissociated Press Examples from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociated_press where a script makes interesting replies.

AI as it stands today is plagiarism on a grand scale.

So the rulers have said it's bad if we plagiarize but good when they make billions by plagiarizing or rather PILLAGING the web.

When I mention The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and such it's poison for certain AI's.

Is the following in need of encryption?

Given some of these can be completed in less than 2 days and for free, get it done and report back here what you think of the course.

So B pointer in Pune can't do this for you?

How did they fail you? Just how bad are they?

Why is everything a shitty app or a subscription now?

Everyone I know is watching their subscriptions since those monthly charges do add up.

You didn't reveal what your product is. Let's hope it's not another Email marketing app.

Your DANIWEB profile is also in need of completion.

Reddit is quite the place so if you post anything promotional even if it's just your web page on How To Silly Walk you'll get the boot.

And then there's KARMA which isn't a given and might be tough to accrue.

What did you post?

I have to ask if the CFC fix is a reference to "Rick and Morty."

Read https://www.reddit.com/r/proofpoint/comments/1c4v619/how_to_fix_proofpoint_blocking_legitimate_emails/ and see that they had to work with someone at the company to find and fix it. So the answer is yes to the question.

Are you this person? "Katie Adkins, Director of Communication
The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri"

Please complete your DANIWEB profile so folk will know you.

So far yes. AI is now creating content, AI also reads same content, humans don't read or write any of this but will rebuild nuclear power plants to run the compute farms.

Yes, yes, the plan is working!

This just in: Ghostty was released with full source and cross platform.

I'm going to skip all the back and forth and flat out ask what we need to do here. Yes, this is all about stopping robots. But all is not lost. You should share what you are actually trying to achieve since it's possible there's something in the Linkedin API that you should be using instead.

Again, I see nothing broken here as it's all about maintaining security against robots.

Who thought up that project name. Reminds me of Kafkaesque times.

I think you answered your own question. Use your real number.

How many months have you put into your site? It seems to take 3 to 6 months before any significant rank up will be seen.

Be sure to complete your DANIWEB Profile.

While I'm conversant with this, your last sentence is incongruous with your first two paragraphs. Why is that?

That aside, after decades of development work which is not all software the answer became clear. Ready? "Are you willing to pay?"
That is, while SEI Level 5 can be obtained, can you afford it?

Payment can be money, time and leaving the technical debt for later work.

Given the current DOGE climate should we move to Bluesky?

I'll ask what motivates you to associate yourself with cracked apps.

What is your motivation?

I defer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/python/tutorial-working-with-python-in-visual-studio-step-01-create-project?view=vs-2022

It is however possible this isn't a feature in VS2019. I will share I picked up VS2022 for under 50$ recently so that isn't the budget buster it used to be.

Are you sure about this? I haven't run a Java app on Android in over a decade. Back then and maybe now the requirement to install a Java Runtime was asking too much of the end-user.

Are you sure you can't make this a web site or native app?

Commercial real estate analytics? Funny you should ask because your profile seems to say you would be writing blogs and more about this.

HOWEVER, there are now many lawsuits over AI Rent Rate Setting.

What programming courses have you taken?

While https://www.w3schools.com/java/ is great, do you have some basics out of the way such as "what is a variable?"

For some code we used the name that shall not be written.
Now exploring "Mirror AI code generator"
Have explored Tabnine for years.

Just a tip. Avoid replying to discussions years old.

As HAL9000 said: "Yes. It's puzzling."

Unless you can grab hold of that iPhone or get deeper detail you won't be tackling this or rather you'll be swatting at clouds. In other words, try something and wonder if you connected.

There are out of your control client side issues you won't be fixing.

1. MDM corporate filters.
2. Parental Controls.
3. Outright transport failures. ISP, Internet packet drops and errors in router firmwares for example.

You omitted the drive type. You also fell for the "best" trap.

1. HDD or hard drives with a zero or any fill are nearly impossible to recover data from. Even the FBI labs can't do that. There were some studies on recovery using million dollar labs in the NSA but frankly you leak data in so many other ways that a simple zero fill is good enough.
2. SSD or solid state drives now use TRIM and there are SSD erase options in some laptops and some apps. As apps change quickly I will not offer any specific app but again, you leak data on the web far more than what anyone would ever recover from a wiped drive.

Which brings us to ask why did you write "safely?" A good wipe will wipe out the OS and for some they don't know how to install any OS so for them it's unsafe.

Please tell us what you mean by safely?

From your own profile:
"I'm Sara Matheu, an SEO Strategist at J a nB a sk Digital Design, where I specialize in services that enhance online visibility and drive organic growth."

You have experiences and tips that you should share.

Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz asked where to start as well.
"It's always best to start at the beginning." — "Glinda of Oz," 1920.

Since you have no coding background that's where you begin. Take courses in coding and design.

But where does it end? Alice in Wonderland has a wonderful quote on that:

“Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely, 'and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

If I were to make a bet, there's something else going on. Take for example the usual pop-up and other blockers.

1. To decipher what it is this time, you'll need a iPhone that fails to debug with.
2. https://caniuse.com/?search=webp seems to, at first say no problem. HOWEVER, scroll down to "HTMLCanvasElement API: toBlob: type parameter supports "image/webp"" and it all falls apart.

Read https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq and it seems a stretch that 7 to 15% of visitors to a web page don't support this.

Maybe someone has a phone with Android 4.0 but how far back in time do you really need to reach?

There are many traps and pitfalls to using gmail. So many that you should be aware going in and I can't possibly write about all of the traps. Find the article "Sending emails using Gmail in C# On February 01, 2024 by Dzenana Kajtaz Technical Content Writer @Mailtrap" because from my reading it looks complete and not out of date.

Good luck.

DaaS here is pretty dead. The market here is, if you know where to look is full of 200 and up business laptops. My brother ran an insurance business and I helped by clueing him in that we could populate the office of 50+ employee desks with laptops from such sales. Big savings and we didn't worry about the occasional failure. Just swap it out and deal with it later. I think out of 100 laptops just 1 hard failure. A few factory resets or reloads but par for the course. Rentals would have been more costly.

Help me out here. Give an example of this data improvement.
My example would be "Trump: 41%" vs "Trump:0.41%"

Electrical worker's joke:

Q. Why do the lines hum?
A. Because they don't know the words.

You didn't tell what region. Given that Russia fined Google $20000000000000000000000000000000000 - that's 2.5 trillion trillion trillion dollars I don't expect Google to give you access.

I see you mentioned D i g i t r e n d s but the reviews of them wrote:
"No proper management
Less salary compare to market
Only for interns or fresh people"

Look for staff that doesn't churn every project.

Think about line 9. Alter your SQL to omit weekends or only have M-F weekdays. Or where DAYCLOSE is above zero.

Let's see a little more code. Also, read https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-log.php to see how to log what your current directory is and more.

You wrote recently about that and then spammed. Partial copy: "To successfully use ChatGPT for SEO, start by generating"

You appear disingenuous.

Can you expand what NM is? I know about https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager but that's for Linux.

My bet is a misconfigured ISP just like we see with Amazon services. The fix is to use a VPN. And no, I don't bother asking ISPs to fix this one.

There are areas I encountered but mind you it was over a decade ago.

1. The PSU wasn't up to the task.
2. The drives needed staggered start or not.
3. The firmware and BIOS was out of date.
4. The drives were not supported. Too big, small etc.
5. Bottom line. Server gear usually has qualified vendor lists. For such work I learned early on to stay inside the lines.
6. Too many times I found a server which was a Frankenstein. That is, drives from salvage. What a mess. Had to get the drives tested and sort out the bad from good. Lesson learned: Any drive past 5 years is removed from the system because it's had its day in the sun.

Why do this?

If you have a working system with thousands of users and "it just works", I have to ask why do this?

The arrow of time has not been proven it can be reversed.

How is this connected to "Computer Science?"

Also, in the US you would be conversant with The 505(b)(1 and 2) Regulatory Pathways. Since there are about 195 countries in the world, you have a lot of work ahead of your pharma company to navigate those other country regulations.

Way back when, Noon was as good as it got for what time it was. Think back to those times and don't fret about the exact time.

Finding memory leaks in VB6 should be easy. That's one old leaky system. Fixing them is hard to impossible. Reference the link I supplied.
