It's sad that we've had to come to this.

That the AI tech bros think they're such hot shit that they shouldn't have to play nicely with everyone else, and that the courts of the world seem to be largely backing them up.

They're being allowed to destroy and plunder human culture to feed their machines, things you would get thrown into the slammer for doing.

So do whatever you have to do to preserve your corner of the internet. Whether that's battening down the hatches and defending yourself with Cloudflare/Anubis (for the love of god don't use reCapcha as you're just giving Google data to train Gemini), or attacking them with something like Nepethes, then do it.

The more effort they have to spend scraping, or time spent cleaning up their models, is more investor money thrown into the black-hole - and they've only got so much of it to spare.

This tool has two commits that have Made-with: Cursor tags in the commit message.

I used to use a tool that did the exact same thing in around 2000-2002. It was called wpoison and in those days we used it to trap web-crawlers that were harvesting email addresses to add to spam lists.

Ironic that this is posted on github.
