Open source devs are fighting AI crawlers with cleverness and vengeance

The ending of the article is hilarious but sad and true in some ways:

But DeVault also issued a public, heartfelt plea for a more direct fix: “Please stop legitimizing LLMs or AI image generators or GitHub Copilot or any of this garbage. I am begging you to stop using them, stop talking about them, stop making new ones, just stop.”

From Devault’s personal blog site on a related article:

If you personally work on developing LLMs et al, know this: I will never work with you again, and I will remember which side you picked when the bubble bursts.

No comment haha :smile:
