I thought I was the same until I saw someone call Tachyon a yandere. If this continues I may have to intervene (draw funny comics to reverse the narrative)

behold the "HTML bomb"

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Item #6 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter: buttondown.com/clivethompso...

A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right

Wait. Do AI bros think chatbots are fountains of objective truth because they think machines are purely dictated by logic and thus incapable of lying or being wrong? How do they think these things are made?

I’ve sat on this take for a while, and I think I’m confident enough in it to say it now: People take media they don’t like personally. Like, this is how you talk about someone who has personally wronged you. Super weird that people online act like this. People don’t make “bad” games on purpose.
