I know that I know nothing.
@mischievoustomato @Junes @phnt @waifu @zero The problem with that is the point of the crawlers using the regular UA is so they blend in, if they spell something wrong, they will stand out as an obvious bad actor.
That's why User Agent spoofers exist as anti-fingerprinting measures, it's more "private" to look like the most common browser.

the "normal" slurpers and other bad actors don't do that, a malicious one might

@waifu @Junes I do for git.froth.zone, yes. I kept running into downtime from AI scrapers slurping my shitty code and I saw it as an alternative not long after it was first unveiled. I could try disabling it to see if I keep getting slurped by AI trainers.
Malicious scrapers could bypass it by altering their user agent but that would only make them stand out even more and make it easier to just block them (eg. they spell Mozilla as Mozzarella would bypass Anubis by default but be blatantly obvious). Also none of the regular AI slurpers used by eg. OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, Alibaba, Google and Microsoft do that, they usually just use a standard browser user agent to hide mask their activity.

I put an annoyance over repeated downtime shrug_yui

@icst When it comes to super high performance stuff, not at all, afaik. Even when I was in uni pre-chatgpt most ML libraries really only used Python before it was popular and easy to use. Before Python, ML (especially the class I took on AI) was in Lisp.

Btw what I'm using rn is an open source Go program https://github.com/ollama/ollama making my 5070 Ti cry. It runs deepseek entirely on the GPU but the smaller openai model makes my CPU cry too

Running a local LLM exposed to the fediverse would probably be funny but you freaks would annihilate it with horrendous shit

@zonk I just got auto-rejected from a place in an hour, at least that is believable

@zonk wdym, hiring managers exclusively work on rejecting people at 03:00 on a Sunday, that's when everyone does it. At least that's what it seems like, when I get an email at 04:02 for a job I applied to the day before I definitely did not get auto-rejected from.

@Griffith @Hoss because acknowledging that things have statistically gotten worse for people under the age of 30 contradicts what they experienced and have been told and instead of blaming systemic issues it's much easier to blame the "other" (see, Occupy Wall Street getting consumed with identity politics, other examples I can't think of right now)
