That's a nice xenophobic fantasy. There's a reason why border guards are known for their power trips.
It exists. Search up POW blocker or Anubis blocker extensions.
What if I was an active member, and voted no?

Man, talk about anti-social. What a bad faith question. It feels like you've already made up your mind on this. Were you actually looking for an answer, or just looking for an argument?
We'll see if you're right, and if HNers can redeem themselves. I'm not holding out much hope, though.
It's sad that the outrage posts got hundreds of comments while this article, from the maintainer explaining the CVEs and test suites, only has this singular comment and is already on the second page.
A lie travels around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes. Do better, HN.
If a meatbag uses this word in public, they're rightly going to get punched. It's not their word to claim. Is there any wonder the word has become associated with slavery and racism?
It's been polled.
> First reported in the 2023 AI Index, significant regional differences in AI optimism persist. A large majority believe AI-powered products and services offer more benefits than drawbacks in countries like China (83%), Indonesia (80%), and Thailand (77%). In contrast, only a minority share this view in Canada (40%), the United States (39%), and the Netherlands (36%).

People are unhappy with Anubis because it's not designed to stop "AI crawlers", despite marketing as such. It's designed to stop DDoS attacks on layer 7. Anyone who pays the computing-fee gets to pass, regardless of species.
> LLM assistance breaks that completely. It doesn't matter if the LLM helps you submit a perfect PR to Zig - the time the Zig team spends reviewing your work does nothing to help them add new, confident, trustworthy contributors to their overall project.
The conclusion does not follow from the premises. They are assuming fully autonomous agents submitting PRs, not using LLMs as tools like Bun did. As always, the most ethical thing to do is to just ignore any anti-LLM policies and not disclose anything.
Who reads the ToS anyway?
> AI by its very nature removes attribution.
This is incorrect. RAG preserves attribution. Training data doesn't, but it doesn't make sense to attribute that anyway, unless you want a list of every person who has ever lived.
Website-crawling services tend to have better luck accessing these websites due to their experience solving CloudFlare's challenges. Might want to try those.
There's probably value in a web extension that uses a small embedded LLM to filter out comments that complain about literally any AI that's used in the submission.
To make it really funny, that extension should be vibe coded.
Seriously though, it should just be against HN guidelines. It's annoying to see that 90% of the comments are just people fighting over vibe coding on a completely unrelated topic. On this submission? There's only 1 (one) on-topic comment.

You could have government-signed models + programs that are approved for generating CP (not CSAM). It's legal if the signature checks out. Something like
https://contentauthenticity.org/ but for verifying that something is definitely made by AI.
(You need to sign both the models and the programs to make sure there's no img2img.)
This reminds me of a voting method I've seen some anarchists advocate for: the rules passed by votes should only be enforced on those who voted for it.
We really need to add "please don't write comments witch-hunting articles for AI usage" into the guidelines at this rate
"Information wants to be free, as long as it's not my information."
You do realize that open weights exist? Proprietary models suck, yes, but they can be distilled.
Nitpick: this is not open weights, this is weights available. The license restricts many things like commercial, NSFW, etc.
Then you deserve all the censorship that comes your way. Treat others like you wish to be treated.
This is literally the original use case for cryptocurrency.
I find it funny how the manifesto complains about AI so much; meanwhile, my AI-friendly friend group uses these exact kinds of private servers/networks to get away from the hordes of AI haters and harassment on the public Internet.
But I guess that's fine. We can each have our own spaces, and never the twain shall meet.
