TomThis is a CPU graph of a web host that began having AI bots absolutely slam it starting at 4am UTC.I blocked all Chrome user agents older than 120 at about 10:45 UTC.These AI bots aren't using "nice" names like ChatGPT or AmazonBot. No, more like Chrome/116 or similar and they come from ALL OVER.I am so tempted to put Iocaine or Nepenthes on the machine to generate Markov Chain garbage to poison the well, but I'd have to have Nginx map the older user agent string with regex. It probably could be done but this might piss off my employer. 😂<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AIbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIbots</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FuckAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckAI</a>

Jerry on MastodonI turned this on tonight. Time to get some popcorn. I hope I'll be able to identify this happening in the logs.Trapping misbehaving bots in an AI Labyrinth: <a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/</a>We've seen an explosion of new crawlers used by AI companies to scrape data for model training. AI Crawlers generate more than 50 billion requests to the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Cloudflare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cloudflare</a> network every day, or just under 1% of all web requests we see. While Cloudflare has several tools for identifying and blocking unauthorized AI crawling, we have found that blocking malicious bots can alert the attacker that you are on to them, leading to a shift in approach, and a never-ending arms race. So, we wanted to create a new way to thwart these unwanted bots, without letting them know they’ve been thwarted.When we detect unauthorized crawling, rather than blocking the request, we will link to a series of AI-generated pages that are convincing enough to entice a crawler to traverse them. But while real looking, this content is not actually the content of the site we are protecting, so the crawler wastes time and resources. As an added benefit, AI Labyrinth also acts as a next-generation honeypot. No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense. Any visitor that does is very likely to be a bot, so this gives us a brand-new tool to identify and fingerprint bad bots, which we add to our list of known bad actors.<a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AILabyrinth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AILabyrinth</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AIBots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIBots</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AIScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIScanning</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AIBotProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIBotProtection</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>

Paolo AmorosoVersara is a new approach to content protection based on poisoning AI scraper responses:«This duality—poisoned content for scrapers, legitimate content for humans—is achieved by exploiting the differences in how humans and bots interact with web pages.[…]This approach is simple, but extremely powerful. Versara is detrimental to not only AI search tools, but _every single_ scraper that we’ve tried.»<a href="https://versara.ai/about" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://versara.ai/about</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AIBots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIBots</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blogging</a>

They use an AI tool to comb public information about your company and file hundreds of copyright infringement, IP, and trade secret theft cases. The scale means you can’t just ignore it or settle for a nominal amount.Or perhaps you run a restaurant or a coffee shop. What if every smartphone that entered the restaurant was a few clicks away from capturing your employees’ behavior and filing a claim for discrimination? Your exposure to risk is greatly heightened.Finally, imagine one of your customers has a claim against your company. Traditionally, they follow your customer-service process because the cost of legal action is prohibitive. But what if they could use a platform to click a few buttons to file a complaint that would lead to a higher payout for them and cost you more in legal fees to defend than it would to settle? We bet they would click that button.Companies today can often get away with bad behavior because it’s too expensive to enforce against it. Their employees, customers, or competitors have to think hard about going on offense because legal battles are time consuming, expensive, and distracting. When legal action becomes much easier, many more actions will be taken. It levels the playing field by removing the asymmetric advantage businesses today have of greater legal resources and expertise at their fingertips."<a href="https://hbr.org/2024/10/gen-ai-makes-legal-action-cheap-and-companies-need-to-prepare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hbr.org/2024/10/gen-ai-makes-legal-action-cheap-and-companies-need-to-prepare</a>
