Comment on Developer Creates Infinite Maze That Traps AI Training Bots

As I have gotten more and more exhausted with modern social media, I have contemplated building my own simple website (think neocities), but have been hesitant to put much of myself out as I do not want to feed the AI slop machines.
Nepenthes is encouraging since I could see it being able to protect text in a way “glazing” (ie Nightshade) cannot.
Hopefully AI companies cannot sidestep this as easily as ROBOTS.txt…

I don’t have a full picture idea yet, but I would probably upload art/ projects/ WIPs. I also was considering adding writings, but I’m not sure if there would be enough there to have a section for writings.
I definitely don’t have as much to share as others, but I would like to see the Internet become a less centralized space.
An author I follow on Bluesky has been talking about neocities a lot and it seems pretty silly and fun. You probably need to be signed in to view this, but you can see her talk about the process here.

I still run websites. Some simple and static, others forums, yet others are blogs.
I like to have small communities around simple interests and they get enough traffic to stay interesting.
The blogs are for recording things I do and want to remember and share, like setting up postgres to do interesting things.
None of them have ads or generate revenue. I just miss the old internet and like to see these things exist.
At the same time, I don’t really care if AI scrapes it. It’s out there to be looked at. Of course one website is a complete farce, illogical and fake product nonsense. I enjoy it getting scraped the most.

If you build a static website, you can host it on AWS S3 and it will likely cost you cents to run. S3 on its own will handle a lot of traffic and you’re unlikely to hit that threshold, but if you do, you can add AWS Cloud Front and have a site that can handle more traffic than you can imagine.
