How do we protect the gemsphere against the legions of AI web bots!? What can we expect with further advances in machine learning?

Honestly, expose as little of Gemini to the Web and we should be OK. Lots of interactive capsules require certs, which aren't hard to make but are an extra step that keeps uncertified bots out. I wonder if there's a way to ban particular certs too.

Looking at gemlog.blue, you can see a lot of spam 'members' that have single entries with things like "shadow warrior trainer best download 2.3 MB free.zip" or "read this to buy glucosamine from canadian pharmacies", only because bots took advantage of the exposed registration and posting forms from the Web. · 8 months ago

Not a problem for now I guess. Gemini is simply too smol for them. In case Gemini gets large.. we really don't have a good defence. Any proposals? · 8 months ago
