[@steve] (https://mastodon.nexusuk.org/@steve) [@requiem] (https://hackers.town/@requiem) It was just a choice of words. This is unimportant to the issues at hand. The last thing we need is muddying the waters even more with irrelevant semantics. (edit: words)

[@rmgr] (https://peoplemaking.games/@rmgr)

Yeah,... although the number of tokens seems rather low - still, it's bad juju. Proxies are a problem exactly because of stuff like this. I wouldn't be surprised if it slurped up gemspace too if there's an exposed gemini proxy somewhere. :(

Maybe I should take down my gopher hole and move everyting to a sign-up only BBS :P

[@MissAemilia] (https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@MissAemilia) it has definitively been ignoring robots.txt on multiple sites, although here in the gopher case i feel like the number of tokens is rather low - still,... it does not bode well. This is why I don't like gopher/gemini proxies exposed to the www :(

[@drwho] (https://hackers.town/@drwho) Kind of makes me reluctant to even have an online presence anymore. Anything I publish, heck even all my masto shitposts are being ingested by these things. This is not OK. Could move everything behind i2p or whatever but i guess it'd just be a matter of time before they slurp that up too... We shouldn't just roll over and pretend it's OK just because shit like this is the norm now either. :(

[@drwho] (https://hackers.town/@drwho) It apparently even ignored the 'disallow: *' in my robots.txt

[@doop] (https://octodon.social/@doop) Interesting - I guess it DID make sense there as it was supposed to resemble a spinning disk.

jns

When did a spinning circle become the default 'wait' icon used in all the things instead of an hourglass? It makes so much less sense.

[@makergeek] (https://hometech.social/@makergeek) [@requiem] (https://hackers.town/@requiem) I think that's asking the wrong question. One can always dream up use cases, but the question we should be asking is does the benefit we get out of those use cases weigh up against the potential (and real) harm.

For instance, I don't work on AI projects, not because I can't think of any use cases, but because it would be endorsing the current hype surrounding it. Companies who are currently using AI for profit rely on that hype in order to get more funding.

So the question is, ultimately, is what I'm doing, ultimately benefiting or harming society. And when it comes to using or developing AI projects, any time I make that balance, it heavily shifts towards harm.

[@cat] (https://b4udw3rk5.com/@cat) That ansi screen is fantastic, although the facebook like icon one makes me cringe every time haha - i hit up bbs'es to get away from all that bullshit, ya know? :)

[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) [@dibi58] (https://this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58) Ohh, I see - I somehow read that in reverse - I don't really need anything, but it would be good to make sure it's archived on archive.org if it's not there already.

[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) [@dibi58] (https://this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58) I have a whole bunch of sgi media, and a few sgi machines - what does [@dibi58] (https://this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58) need?
